How to verify DEA:

1. Access the Information Tab

Begin by navigating to the Information Tab in the provider profiles.

2. Standardized Forms

You will now see a standardized and homologated verification form, similar to the Professional License (PL) form. This form allows you to:

3. Auto-Save Feature

As you enter information or complete an automation request, the system will auto-save your progress.

Improved Exclusions List Management

• Old Process:

Previously, when a match no longer appeared on the exclusion list (e.g., due to updated user details), the system would assign a "Match removed" status. This status couldn't be changed and might have led to confusion, as it implied the provider had no exclusions.

• New Process:

Now, when the system detects a match no longer aligns with the exclusion list data, the match will be cleared (deleted). This means the record will no longer appear on the match screen, making it easier to manage your exclusion lists. 

Enrollment Insurance Pivot Table

This pivot table is designed to help you have better visibility and control on the status of insurance(s) line of businesses directly from enrollment applications. The status of each insurance's line of business will be communicated through three different colors. 

The color coordination goes as follows: 

• Green: The enrollment application has insurance attached and includes the insurance effective date. It will display: Approved - Effective date

• Yellow: The enrollment application has the type of insurance attached but does not have insurance effective date. It will display: No effective date

• No insurance or insurance effective date attached. Nothing will be displayed in the cell

What you need to know:

1. Set up business entities before you set up new locations.

2. Access the "business entity main page" for consolidated entity information.

3. 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.

4. Continue managing location documents, verifications, and insurances on the "location details" page, while handling business entities in the new facility.

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When credentialing providers, you are now able to rectify errors, update outdated information, and remove irrelevant verifications with the newly added "Delete Mandatory Verifications" functionality.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).
