13 Background Workgroup: Assuring Access 1. Adopt consolidated service definitions 2. Perform activities that inform Network Adequacy development 3. Develop criteria to establish network requirements and require at least 2 providers of each service 4. Work with MCOs, PACE and DOBI to identify ways to streamline credentialing process 13
