Recently we sent out a fax blast reminding members that PREFERRED Therapy Providers, Inc. is no longer utilizing the services of Verifpoint, a Credentials Verification Organization (CVO). Our agreement with Verifpoint ended December 31, 2006.

During any transition, there are typically some cross-over issues. Please allow us to re-assure you that your information is secure with any CVO, as it is with PREFERRED. Moving forward, all documents requested for credentialing, re-credentialing and renewal purposes will be directly from PREFERRED’s staff and returned to us accordingly. We now have the capability to credential and re-credential professionals in-house, while still surpassing NCQA requirements, thereby expediting the process and ensuring quality standards.

Thank you for your calls and questions; we welcome the opportunity to address your concerns.
