FAQs

What is delegated credentialing and how does it work?

Delegated credentialing is an arrangement where a payer authorizes a healthcare organization to credential providers on its behalf using payer-approved standards, rather than submitting each application individually for payer review. To earn delegation, organizations must meet NCQA accreditation requirements and pass a formal audit of their credentialing program. When done right, it removes the payer bottleneck that typically adds weeks to provider onboarding. Medallion helps health systems build and maintain delegation-ready credentialing programs backed by AI-assisted automation, specialist oversight, and better turnaround times.

What are the requirements for achieving delegated credentialing status?

To earn delegation from a payer, a healthcare organization must demonstrate a credentialing program that meets NCQA accreditation standards — including compliant policies, committee oversight, documented PSV processes, and file accuracy. Payers conduct a formal pre-delegation assessment before granting status, and re-audit annually to maintain it. Most delegated arrangements involve organizations credentialing 150 or more providers. Medallion helps health systems build delegation-ready programs from the ground up, with contract-backed turnaround times and audit-ready documentation at key stages.

What role does a CVO play in a health system's delegated credentialing program?

Building and sustaining a delegation-ready credentialing program requires infrastructure most health systems can't cost-effectively maintain in-house — compliant policies, dedicated specialists, robust PSV workflows, and ongoing audit readiness. A CVO provides that infrastructure as a service, allowing health systems to achieve delegation status faster and protect it through re-audits without scaling internal headcount. Medallion pairs AI-assisted automation with embedded credentialing specialists, delivering the speed, throughput, and documentation health systems need to earn delegation and sustain it long-term.
