1)         Within 5 business days for state health care professional license revocation, federal Drug Enforcement Agency license revocation, Medicare or Medicaid sanctions, revocation of hospital privileges, any lapse in professional liability coverage required by a health care entity, health care plan or hospital, or conviction of a felony.

f)         All updates shall be made on the updating forms in Section 965.Appendix C. (Section 15(g) of the Act) Updated information will be based on the information submitted to a health care plan, health care entity or hospital in the form in Section 965.Appendix B.

 

g)         Collection of the information contained in the forms under this Part does not require health care entities, health care plans or hospitals to use all the data and fields in the credentialing process. Nothing in the Act or this Part mandates whether or how credentials data must be verified or assessed as part of the credentialing process.  All decisions about whether and how to verify and assess any or all the credentials data submitted to a health care entity, health care plan or hospital by a health care professional is exclusively within the lawful discretion of the health care entity, health care plan, or hospital that is credentialing that health care professional.

 

h)         Nothing in the Act or this Part prohibits a hospital from granting disaster privileges pursuant to the provisions of Section 10.4 of the Hospital Licensing Act.  When a hospital grants disaster privileges pursuant to Section 10.4 of the Hospital Licensing Act, that hospital is not required to collect credentials data pursuant to the Act.  (Section 15(m) of the Act)

c)         Any credentials data collected or obtained by the health care entity, health care plan, or hospital shall be confidential, as provided by law, and otherwise may not be redisclosed without written consent of the health care professional, except that in any proceeding to challenge credentialing or recredentialing, or in any judicial review, the claim of confidentiality shall not be invoked to deny a health care professional, health care entity, health care plan, or hospital access to or use of credentials data. Nothing in this subsection prevents a health care entity, health care plan, or hospital from disclosing any credentials data to its officers, directors, employees, agents, subcontractors, medical staff members, any committee of the health care entity, health care plan, or hospital involved in the credentialing process, or accreditation bodies or licensing agencies. However, any redisclosure of credentials data contrary to this subsection is prohibited. (Section 15(h) of the Act)

 

d)         To make the form beneficial and effective for health care professionals, health care entities, health care plans, and hospitals, additional commonly collected business data are also being collected in the form.  Nothing in the Act or this Part shall be considered to prohibit sharing of business data for business purposes of the health care entity, health care plan, or hospital.

3)         when a health care entity or health care plan requires recredentialing as a result of patient or quality assurance issues.

 

b)         Data collection for health care entities and health care plans will coincide with a single credentialing cycle that entitles health care entities and health care plans to collect recredentialing data once and not more than every 3 years, except as noted in subsection (a).

 

c)         Data collection:

 

1)         will be based on the last digit of each health care professional's Social Security number;

3)         will provide for a two-month collection period for each digit during which each health care entity and health care plan receives data from those persons being recredentialed.

 

d)         The single credentialing cycle reflects a six-month "OPEN" period when health care entities and health care plans cannot collect data from a health care professional, except as noted in subsection (a).  This period coincides with the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation's licensing schedule of physicians.

 

e)         The single credentialing cycle is established as follows:

f)         Once recredentialing is begun in accordance with the single credentialing cycle, a health care entity or health care plan may continue to request data from a health care professional outside of the published single credentialing cycle if it is not submitted by the deadline date published in the schedule.

 

g)         Nothing in this Section shall be construed to preclude, or otherwise exempt, a health care plan from monitoring, on an ongoing basis, in between recredentialing cycles, information on sanctions, limitations on licensure, and complaints against health care professionals consistent with guidelines issued by any entity that provides private accreditation to health care plans, or from meeting any quality assurance requirement of the entity related to credentialing for the purpose of accreditation or otherwise.

B)        a detailed explanation and outline of the plan for conducting and time frame involved in the process that would be utilized in place of the published single cycle by the requesting health care entity or health care plan.

 

b)         The Director will evaluate the request for exemption based upon whether the plan is a small or unique health care entity for which compliance with the single credentialing cycle presents an undue hardship.

 

c)         The Department will notify waiver applicants of approval or denial by December 15 of the year prior to implementation of the single cycle.

 

d)         A denial of a waiver may be appealed in accordance with the procedures in Section 965.250.

STATE OF ILLINOIS

 

Uniform Health Care and Hospital Recredentials Form

 

The Health Care Professional Credentials Data Collection Act [410 ILCS 517] requires that this form be collected from health care professionals by hospitals, health care entities, and health care plans that desire to recredential such professional.  Each hospital, health care entity, and health care plan may also require completion of supplemental forms.

This form is for recredentialing only.  Other forms are required for credentialing and for updating information.  YOU ONLY HAVE TO FILL OUT AND SUBMIT WHAT IS REQUESTED BY THE CREDENTIALING ENTITY.  PLEASE REFER TO THE INSTRUCTIONS PROVIDED TO YOU BY THE ORGANIZATION YOU ARE APPLYING TO FOR THEIR REQUIREMENTS.

 

This form has been segmented into 2 different Chapters, each containing various sections:

Any credentials data collected or obtained by the health care entity, health care plan, or hospital shall be confidential, as provided by law, and otherwise may not be redisclosed without written consent of the health care professional, except that in any proceeding to challenge credentialing or recredentialing, or in any judicial review, the claim of confidentiality shall not be invoked to deny a health care professional, health care entity, health care plan, or hospital access to or use of credentials data. Nothing in this subsection prevents a health care entity, health care plan, or hospital from disclosing any credentials data to its officers, directors, employees, agents, subcontractors, medical staff members, any committee of the health care entity, health care plan, or hospital involved in the credentialing process, or accreditation bodies or licensing agencies.
