Lines of Business
A Lines of Business (LOB) section has been added into enrollment applications so that you are able to immediately view which payer (Medicare, Medicaid, Commercial Types) is used in each enrollment application.
On a provider's enrollment details page, there's now a "Set Products" button in the Lines of Business section. By clicking on that button, you are able to select the required payer for the lines of business and add an effective date for the payer you selected.

Privileges & Appointments
We have a brand new section on the MedTrainer platform that centralizes all of your staff's internal privileging appointments in one place. By attaching a provider's credentialing packet* to their appointments, the new Privileges and Appointments section makes it easy for you to view and track the appointments your providers have inside and outside MedTrainer.
The capabilities this feature provides administrators include:
Centralized location with visibility to all privileges, appointments and reappointments information for all your providers
Ability to track appointment and reappointment expiration dates to keep your providers current
Easy-to-use location with visibility into appointments information to reference during an audit
How To Access It:
1. Log into your MedTrainer account: https://lms.medtrainer.com/
2. Navigate to the mt | credentialing menu and click on the Privileges and appointments module.
*You have the capability to attach a credentialing packet for any new providers added to the platform. However, in this release, it's important to note that any providers currently on the MedTrainer platform will not have their credentialing packet automatically attached within the Privileges and Appointments section.

Streamline your Business Entities
The new business entities feature allows grouping providers by NPI and TIN under business entities instead of just by location.
How's it changing?
We've gathered all the essential details about each organization's entity in one convenient spot – the "business entity main page." Here, you'll get a close-up view, including vital info like locations, org NPI, tax IDs, and more, so you don't have to look around different areas.
What you need to know:
Set up business entities before you set up new locations.
Access the "business entity main page" for consolidated entity information.
If you've been using the "location details" page without entities tied to locations, find the link to the "business entity main page" in the organization's business entity section.
Continue managing location documents, verifications, and insurances on the "location details" page, while handling business entities in the new facility.

Florida Verification Automation
Florida license verifications can now be completed automatically on the MedTrainer platform, similar to the automated DEA license verification process. This can be done when you add a provider to MedTrainer, or you can choose to initiate the verification process manually for any state whenever needed.
Our automated verification process not only ensures accuracy but also saves valuable credentialing time. It automatically validates the license and adds necessary data to the platform, freeing up more time for increased productivity in other aspects of your work.
Stay tuned for more states coming soon.
*FL ABA licenses cannot be automated.
February 2024
Delete Mandatory Provider Verification
When credentialing providers, you are now able to rectify errors, update outdated information, and remove irrelevant verifications with the newly added "Delete Mandatory Verifications" functionality.
What's new?
You can now remove a mandatory verification from a provider’s profile. This is possible even if a verification has been set from the locations module. If you remove verifications from the location module, this will only impact newly assigned providers. The verification templates of your current providers will be unaffected. You can still assign verifications to providers from the locations module in the same process you currently use.
Important note
This improvement has also led to the previously available "Not Applicable" option being removed (since its purpose was to remove a verification).
February 2024
New Supervising Physician Field in Provider Profile
A new supervising physician field has been added to the MedTrainer Credentialing provider profile. Using this field, you can easily report on supervising physicians and ensure credentials are up to date.
Here are three ways to fill in this info in “Practice Information”
Select from Eligible Profiles: If your physician is already in our system, just pick their name from the list. It's easy, and their info fills in automatically.
Add External Physician: If your physician isn't in our system, no worries. You can type in their details yourself. We'll remember them for future use, making it simple next time.
Not Applicable: If you don't have a supervising physician to report, just choose "Not Applicable." That's it, and you're at 100% completion for this section.
