UT Southwestern Credentialing

Credentialing/Medical Staff Services is responsible for credentialing and recredentialing practitioners for participation in the managed care plans and for privileges at University Hospitals - St. Paul and Zale Lipshy.

Not all practitioners complete the entire credentialing process.

• When a practitioner will treat only Medicare and Medicaid patients, billing enrollment and hospital privileges are completed but not managed care.
• Part-time and Volunteer Faculty physicians require special handling.
