MISSOURI: SHOW ME THE CREDENTIALS, THE AUTHORIZATION—AND THE MONEY 

The Show-Me State came with RECEIPTS. 

This week on Credentialing Chronicles, Shannen & Nyleen are spillin’ the Missouri tea—from alleged fake nursing credentials and the importance of primary-source verification to prior authorization chaos, rural hospitals under pressure, patient portal privacy concerns, and major healthcare changes MSPs need to have on their radar.

We’re asking the questions every healthcare organization should be able to answer:

☕ Did you verify it from the SOURCE?
☕ Is the provider actually enrolled?
☕ Does an authorization guarantee payment?
☕ Who knows what your patient portal is sharing?
☕ And when staffing gets desperate… are your credentialing standards holding strong?

Missouri said SHOW ME—and we’re showing the receipts.
