What Is MedCentral?

MedCentral was established by the Greater Louisville Medical Society in 1991 to centralize the primary source verification portion of the hospital credentialing process for Greater Louisville area hospitals and ambulatory care centers, eliminating duplicative credentialing for members of the Greater Louisville Medical Society. And other local physicians, nurse practitioners and other care providers who require hospital credentialing. We are the first part of the hospital credentialing process, but do not actually issue hospital privileges. The information we collect is turned over to each requested facility to make their own determination about issuing privileges. Now serving 28 facilities, MedCentral processes over 3,000 files each year. In 2018, MedCentral began processing files with an online application system, fully digitizing the verifications process to eliminate as much paper waste as possible and to make the process more efficient. Applications are emailed, rather than mailed, to the applicant and can be worked on concurrently by the applicant and their credentialing assistant and can be submitted to MedCentral without the burden of shuffling paper back and forth. Peer reference requests are also sent digitally when possible to ease the administrative burden of an applicant’s peers as well. What do you verify? MedCentral provides primary source verification of the following: 
    • Education
    • Previous employment
    • Previous medical staff appointments
    • Licenses
    • Board certifications
    • AMA and NPDB reports
    • DEA certificate and controlled substance registrations
    • Teaching appointments
    • Competency in training programs
    • Peer reference evaluations
The application process also collects many of the documents that will be needed in the privileging process, so that the applicant can give them to one source to be disseminated to multiple hospitals.  Why is this process important? Through primary source verification, the community is protected from “fake doctors” or other care providers  who include/report false or misleading information on their resume, or purport to hold licenses or education that they did not actually attain. The credentials process verifies that a physician, APRN or other care provider legitimately possesses the qualifications they claim. It is the first line of defense in protecting patient safety.

How To Apply

To apply for hospital privileges at one of our participating facilities, first please pay your application fee online by clicking here then please call (502) 589-2277 or email MedCentral@glms.org with the following information:

Applicant’s full name, license type (MD, APRN, etc.) and specialty
Applicant’s date of birth

Facilities applying to

A unique link will be emailed from AppCentral@CactusSoftware.com to the applicant to access their application. If you are new to our AppCentral software, select Sign Up to create a user name and password and log in. If you have used our application software since October 2017 for a different application, you can use the same log-in information. You must access your application from the unique link that is emailed to you. If you need the link re-sent, or have any questions about navigating the application, please call us at (502) 589-2277 or email MedCentral@glms.org.

Once your application is received, it will be reviewed and either accepted as a complete submission or returned to the applicant for clarification or missing documents. Once accepted, the application will begin processing. We cannot adequately process applications that are missing information or documentation.

Your file will be reviewed by a credentialing specialist and letters of verification will be sent to your places of education, peer references, previous medical staffs and employers, and verification of your licenses, DEAs, Board certifications will be completed. A “preapp” is sent to the hospital with your basic application information – this gets you in their system but does NOT automatically guarantee or result in privileges. The medical staff office will be asked to approve that we complete processing of your application or will notify us if you don’t meet their bylaws requirements and must withdraw or adjust your privilege request. Once all required documentation has been received, the complete file can be compiled and sent to your chosen facilities. At that time each facility has their own process and time frame before permanent privileges are issued. Please allow plenty of time for both MedCentral and your chosen facilities to process your application.
