Third Party Payer Credentialing Guide

POA has developed a guide, the POA Third Party Payer Credentialing Guide, that provides payer-specific directions for credentialing for 12 of the major payers in Pennsylvania. The guide also includes a list of products provided under each payer umbrella as well as a contact phone number for each payer. In addition, the guide provides a link for credentialing information for payers not specifically included on the list.
