We have the expertise, technology, training and processes in place to make unbiased, well-informed credentialing decisions. We help independent pharmacy owners ensure market-leading service and quality, which are essential elements for every pharmacy’s commitment to service excellence and optimal patient outcomes.
The benefits of working with a URAC-accredited CVO include:
Each member of the pharmacy staff (pharmacists, technicians and so forth) is credentialed in the same manner, demonstrating for Pharmacy Benefit Managers and patients that all pharmacy personnel meet stringent standards and expectations.
Our industry-leading credentialing solution includes continuing education and training for network pharmacies, particularly on Fraud, Waste and Abuse prevention and HIPAA compliance. We provide these training opportunities to our members at substantially lower costs than they could find themselves.
We store and manage credentialing data and documentation from thousands of pharmacy owners and staff members in our network. We created a dedicated credentialing web portal for owners and staff members to easily apply for verification, submit their documentation, and view their data.
To strengthen competitive positioning and grow volume, our members benefit from being part of a network that rises above the rest in service, quality, accountability and efficiency.
