4 Page 4 of 6 4) Reference Checks D. Temporary/Provisional Credentialing of Individual Practitioners 1. Temporary or provisional credentialing of individual practitioners is intended to increase the available network of individual practitioners in underserved areas, whether rural or urban. Contract agencies must have policies and procedures to address granting of temporary or provisional credentials when it is in the best interest of Medicaid Beneficiaries that individual practitioners be available to provide care prior to formal completion of the entire credentialing process. Within the Network180 provider panel, temporary or provisional credentialing shall not exceed 150 days. 2. The contract agency shall have up to 31 days from receipt of a complete application, accompanied by the minimum documents below, within which to render a decision regarding temporary or provisional credentialing. 3.

The contract agency must conduct primary source verification of the following: a. Licensure or certification. b. Board certification, if applicable, or the highest level of credential attained; and c. Medicare/Medicaid sanctions. 5. The contract agency must review the information obtained and determine whether to grant provisional credentials. Following approval of provisional credentials, the process of verification shall be completed. E. Credentialing of Interpreters 1. If a contract agency is providing an interpreter as a legal accommodation for a person who is deaf, blind, or hard of hearing, the law requires the use of an interpreter who is Michigan Certified to be qualified to interpret at the Standard Practice Level (outlined below) appropriate for the type of setting that will be taking place. a. Interpreters must possess the necessary credentials for a Standard Level 2 to be qualified to interpret. If an individual is both deaf and blind, the interpreter must possess credentials for a Standard Level 2. b. In addition to the three general Standard Levels, there is a separate Educational Standard. This standard applies to accommodations provided to a student up to grade 12. Interpreters within the education standard are further divided into those qualified to work in elementary or secondary educational settings.
5 Page 5 of 6 c. Specific types of proceedings also require a valid Michigan endorsement. An interpreter must possess a Medical/Mental Health endorsement to interpret in a medical or mental health setting, and a DeafBlind endorsement in order to interpret for an individual who is both D/deaf and B/blind. d. The Interpreter must be Michigan Certified (search site below) e. Michigan law requires that an interpreter who is qualified AND effective be made available. All providers have a responsibility to act appropriately if it appears an interpreter is not effective, regardless of whether they are qualified. f. Interpreters are required to be trained in: Corporate Compliance, False Claims, HIPAA, and Recipient Rights. 2. Michigan certified interpreters are issued identification cards that indicate, their current skill level, and any endorsements they hold. It is standard practice to ask interpreters to show their cards. All Michigan Certified interpreters are bound by the NAD-RID Code of Professional Conduct which stresses the confidentiality of interpreted information. 3. Deemed Status for Interpreters: Network180 contracts with Voices for Health, Liaison Linguistics, and CyraCom to provide interpreter services. Network180 will ensure interpreters within these companies are credentialed. Network180 contract agencies may choose to accept this credentialing. F. Additional Requirements 1. National Provider Identifier (NPI)-All persons eligible to obtain an NPI must do so. The document below is a crosswalk designed to categorize the type, classification, and/or specialization of health care providers. Certification/MedicareProviderSupEnroll/Taxonomy.html 2. Persons eligible to register with CHAMPS must do so. G. Re-credentialing Individual Practitioners At a minimum, the re-credentialing policies for physicians and other licensed, registered, or certified health care providers must identify procedures that address the re-credentialing process and include requirements for each of the following: 1. Re-credentialing at least every two years. 2. An update of information obtained during the initial credentialing. 3. A process for ongoing monitoring, and intervention if appropriate, of sanctions, complaints, and quality issues pertaining to the individual practitioner, which must include, at a minimum, review of: a. Medicare/Medicaid sanctions. b. State sanctions or limitations on licensure, registration or certification. c. Member concerns that include grievances, complaints, and appeals. d. Any quality issues identified.
6 Page 6 of 6 H. Network180 Credentialing of Contract Agencies The LRE will validate, and re-validate at least every two years, that the contract agency is licensed as necessary to operate in the State, and has not been excluded from Medicaid or Medicare participation. I. Deemed Status Individual practitioners or contract agencies may deliver healthcare services to more than one PIHP. Network180 will allow a Network180 contract agency to accept the credentialing of another PIHP. In those instances where a Network180 agency chooses to accept the credentialing decision of another PIHP, the contract agency must keep copies of the credentialing PIHP s decisions in their administrative records. J. Notification of Adverse Credentialing Decision An individual practitioner or contract agency that is denied credentialing or recredentialing shall be informed within ten (10) days of the reasons for the adverse credentialing decision in writing as well as the appeals process. K. Appeal Process for Adverse Credentialing Decision An appeal process shall be available when credentialing or re-credentialing is denied, suspended or terminated for any reason other than lack of need. The appeal process will be consistent with federal and state requirements. L. Training The contract agency must have a mechanism to ensure required trainings are completed and documented in a timely manner. This includes the training of non-professional staff to guarantee they meet the requirements found in PIHP-MHSP Provider Qualifications as well as additional PIHP requirements. M. Reporting Requirements The contract agency will maintain written procedures for reporting improper known conduct that may result in suspension or termination from the Network180 provider organization network to appropriate authorities (i.e., MDHHS, the Network180 Board, the Attorney General). Procedures will be consistent with current federal and state requirements, including those specified in the MDHHS Medicaid Managed Specialty Supports and Services contract.
