Hospital affiliation gives you access to advanced medical technology, specialized departments, and coordinated hospital-based services. Affiliated providers can only practice within the privileges granted to them and may refer patients directly to specialists within the hospital.
Patients trust and prefer the physicians who are affiliated with a reputable hospital. Knowing they will receive complete care, patients feel more confident and comfortable with affiliated clinicians.
These are the essential services PHU provides to secure hospital affiliation and the clinical privileges:
Hospital-style CV, active license, DEA/CDS if needed, board status, malpractice/NPDB summary, immunizations, and BLS/ACLS. Includes privilege checklist, recent case logs, and peer references, exactly as the hospital requests.
Medical staff application and delineation-of-privileges form completed as required, then submitted via portal or packet. Deadlines are tracked; orientation items (EHR training, compliance modules, badging) are scheduled so reviews stay on track.
Primary-source checks coordinated for education, training, license, board status, malpractice carriers, and references. CVO/hospital queries are answered quickly, and department chair/MEC questions are routed until appointment and privileges are approved.
When hospital affiliation requires agreements, such as call coverage, scheduling access, or onboarding support, we coordinate the terms to ensure they align with your granted privileges and practice sites.
Our affiliation process follows hospital bylaws step by step, prepares verifications before committee review, and keeps you updated without back-and-forth delays.
We review the hospital’s medical staff bylaws and privileging checklist, then collect the exact documents their medical staff office expects. You see one list; nothing is missing.
Application and DOP are built and submitted in the hospital’s system. We keep a single channel with Medical Staff Services so department chair, Credentials Committee, and MEC reviews stay on the calendar.
Medical Staff Services (or its CVO) completes primary-source verification and runs the NPDB query. If an operational agreement is needed, terms are aligned to your privilege set and site details, without slowing review.
The hospital’s Board of Trustees takes final action on appointments and privileges. We confirm orientation, access, and badging, then hand off FPPE/OPPE expectations so you’re active and compliant on day one.
Hospitals don’t wait for incomplete files. Every step has to be in the right order. Prime Health United processes your file in the right sequence so providers don’t get stuck.
Yes. You cannot admit or provide hospital-based services without an active medical staff appointment and granted privileges at that facility.
Bylaws and CMS/Joint Commission rules require each hospital to verify your credentials directly and grant privileges based on its own standards.
Most hospitals require renewal every two years, with ongoing (OPPE) and focused (FPPE) evaluations to maintain privileges.
Hospitals must query the National Practitioner Data Bank at appointment and at least every two years to see malpractice payments or disciplinary actions.
No. Privileges are hospital-specific. If you practice at multiple facilities, each one runs its own application, verification, and approval process.
Missing transcripts, late malpractice claim histories, or incomplete peer references are the most common reasons hospital files are held.
It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English.
