Physician Access - Network Physicians

At Physician Access, we're committed to providing you with highest quality care. This commitment applies to all aspects of your member experience, but it begins with who we select as our caregivers. That's why we've partnered with the Physician Network cutting edge organization of medical professionals specializing in telehealth. This organization has established a rigorous screening and credential verification process for each and every physician applicant, ensuring they meet the highest standards of qualification. In addition, the network physicians are continually reviewed to ensure they're being attentive to each of our patients' needs, conducting thorough examinations, and providing individualized diagnoses and treatment plans.

Training and Credentialing

Network physicians are:

• Licensed in their respective states
• Credentialed using nationally recognized industry standards
• Covered by malpractice insurance for consultations

Physician applicants who meet the rigorous background standards begin a multi-stage interview process, meeting with both Physician Access Network doctors and staff. Network doctor applicants are assessed on the basis of medical treatment proficiency, strengths in personal communication, and their ability to confidently treat patients on the platform.

Upon successful completion of the credentialing verificiation process, physicians must take part in extensive physician training, to master the technical aspects of telehealth and acquire a firm understanding of best treatment practices. Throughout this training process, physicians engage in a wide range of scenario consultations with telehealth Consulting Network doctors, preparing them for the most common treatments, as well as rare and out of the ordinary situations. New physicians begin taking consultation appointments only when they’ve attained the highest level of proficiency and confidence on the platform.

All physicians on the Physician Access platform must undergo a formal review process every 6 months to reinforce their ability to operate the system.
