Anesthesia Provider Credentialing Services
Anesthesiologists, CRNAs and anesthesia groups credentialed across every facility they cover.
Anesthesia credentialing has a shape that other specialties do not. Providers work across several facilities rather than at one practice location, which means privileging at each of them, and the group bills for services delivered inside other organizations' walls.
ZechionMed credentials anesthesiologists, CRNAs and anesthesia groups: payer enrollment, facility privileging at every site covered, medical direction and supervision documentation, and the re-credentialing cycles that multiply with the number of facilities.
Growth in ambulatory surgery and office-based anesthesia has made this harder rather than easier. Each new site is another privileging file, another set of dates to track, and often another payer contract.

What Makes Anesthesia Harder
One provider, many facilities
Privileging is per facility. A provider covering six sites has six files, six re-appointment cycles and six sets of expirables to keep current.
Re-credentialing that multiplies
Payer cycles plus facility re-appointment cycles across several sites produces a calendar that cannot be held informally.
Medical direction documentation
Direction and supervision ratios affect both compliance and billing. The arrangements have to be documented and current, not understood informally.
Coverage that changes
Groups add and drop facility contracts. Privileging and payer records lag behind, and the lag is a period where coverage is being provided that cannot be billed cleanly.
New site, no privileges
A group takes on a facility and starts covering before privileging completes. The cases happen; the claims do not pay.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Privileging is granted by each facility's medical staff, so a provider covering multiple sites needs a file, an appointment and a re-appointment cycle at each of them.
