Start Your Credentialing Process

Organized guidance and defined requirements to help you move efficiently toward your start date.

Begin Your Credentialing Process with MPAS

Credentialing is a structured process that ensures you meet the professional, hospital, and payer requirements necessary to begin practicing with MPAS and OhioHealth facilities.
The process is detailed and timeline-sensitive. Completing each step accurately and promptly helps prevent delays in your anticipated start date.
As a new provider, you are responsible for submitting required documentation, responding to requests, and completing applications within established timeframes. Our Credentialing Team will guide and support you throughout the process.

Credentialing Process Overview

Below is a step-by-step outline of what to expect. Each step must be completed in sequence to keep your application moving forward.

Before you begin, download the complete checklist of required forms, documentation, and identification items needed for credentialing. This checklist will help you prepare all necessary materials in advance and avoid delays during the Modio process.

Step-By-Step Outline of What to Expect

MPAS Ohio uses Modio as the primary credentialing platform. Our credentialing team will send a secure link and instructions to your MPAS email address on file so you can access your profile. Completing your profile thoroughly will help ensure your applications are processed as efficiently as possible.

Please have the following information available before you begin:

  • Medical license(s)
  • DEA registration
  • Education and training history
  • Employment history
  • Professional references
  • Supporting documentation

This information will prepopulate required forms and hospital applications.
If you do not yet have a DEA number or an Ohio medical license, you may temporarily enter 123456789 to proceed within Modio. This is common for recent graduates, providers awaiting licensure, or out-of-state applicants.

You must update this information once your DEA or Ohio medical license is issued.

Completion Deadline:

Your Modio profile should be completed within 5 days of receiving the invitation.
Use the “Save & Next” function to ensure your progress is recorded. You are not fully credentialed after completing Modio. Additional steps follow.

Before OhioHealth can process your application, several compliance items must be completed.

TB Blood Test

A TB blood test is required. Skin tests are not accepted.

  • If you are located in Central Ohio, you may use OhioHealth Associate Health and Wellness.
  • If you are located outside Central Ohio, you may use Jason Health; reimbursement will be processed on your first day of employment.
  • You may choose to complete testing at another location; however, these services will not be reimbursed.

Results will be provided directly to you and must be uploaded to Modio. Due to HIPAA regulations, MPAS cannot access your results.
Your application will remain on hold until TB documentation is received.

Fingerprinting

Fingerprint screening is required prior to hospital processing and must be completed in accordance with OhioHealth guidelines.

For Ohio Residents

Ohio residents must schedule fingerprinting through FastFingerprints using the OhioHealth access code.

Access Code: 12KEV2S8

When prompted, confirm that your code was provided by OhioHealth.

You will select a location, schedule your appointment, and enter your applicant information directly through FastFingerprints.

Bring a valid government-issued photo ID to your appointment, such as:

  • Driver’s license
  • State ID
  • Passport
  • Military ID
  • Green card

Fingerprint results are sent directly to OhioHealth. Please follow all instructions carefully to avoid delays in processing.

CAQH is required for credentialing and must be completed or updated before your application can move forward.

If You Already Have a CAQH Profile

Please ensure your profile is current and attested, and that all practice locations are accurate.
You will also need to provide MPAS with access so our credentialing team can review your profile, add required information, and assist with any updates.

Submit CAQH Information

If You Do Not Have a CAQH Profile

MPAS can assist with creating your CAQH account to ensure all required information is entered correctly.
Simply indicate this in the form, and our credentialing team will initiate the setup process on your behalf.

Secure Submission Form – This would not be on the website. Just notes for the form. 

To securely provide your CAQH information, please complete the form below:

  • Name
  • Do you have a CAQH account? (Yes/No)
  • CAQH ID (if applicable)
  • Username
  • Password

This form is encrypted and securely submitted directly to the MPAS credentialing team.

If you have questions or need help completing your CAQH profile, our credentialing team is here to assist you.

Once your profile is complete, the MPAS Credentialing Team will generate your hospital applications, typically within one week.

Applications will be emailed to you for review and signature, along with any requests for additional information if needed. Please review all prepopulated details carefully, including dates, references, and work history, before submitting.

Timely responses to any follow-up requests will help avoid delays in processing.

After submission, OhioHealth and affiliated facilities will review your application.

You may be contacted directly by the facility for additional information. Please respond as soon as possible.

MPAS coordinates submissions, but final credentialing decisions are made by the facility credentialing committees.

Once hospital credentialing is underway, the MPAS Credentialing Team will initiate your insurance and payer enrollment.

Enrollment documents will be emailed to you for review and signature, along with any requests for additional information if needed. Please review and return all documents promptly to avoid delays.

Payer approval must be finalized before your employment with MPAS can begin.

Your Credentialing Timeline

Credentialing timelines are structured and deadline-driven. If you anticipate travel, relocation delays, or limited availability, notify the MPAS Credentialing Team immediately. Missed deadlines, incomplete documentation, or delayed responses may impact your start date.

Our goal is to keep your credentialing process moving efficiently from submission to final approval.
