Primary Source Verification (PSV)
What is Primary Source Verification (PSV)
Primary Source Verification (PSV) is the process of checking the authenticity of provider qualifications through original sources rather than trusting secondhand information.
The verification process includes examining licenses from medical boards and regulatory authorities, medical education and training, residency and fellowship training, professional work history, and more.
This is a critical step to validate the credentialing process. That’s why AlterMed RCM ensures proper execution of PSV and help providers get onboarded smoothly.

How AlterMed RCM Streamlines PSV
At AlterMed RCM, we take care of the primary source verification process through:
Verification of Licenses, Certifications, Education & Training
We ensure accurate verification of the qualifications of providers and confirm that they meet all regulatory standards. Verification includes reviewing state medical licenses, board certifications, medical education, postgraduate training, and specialty certifications. These credentials are validated
Work History & Reference Verification
Our structured verification process includes verification of employment history, validation of practice affiliations, confirmation of employment, and professional reference verification. This is crucial to reduce inconsistencies in the provider’s professional history.
Sanctions Screening & Compliance Verification
We review if the providers are allowed to participate in federally funded healthcare programs. Our compliance screening includes Office of Inspector General (OIG) exclusion database checks, System for Award Management (SAM) verification screening, monitoring of sanctions and exclusion status, and documentation of compliance verification results.
Documentation Tracking & Audit Readiness
Our team organizes and maintains compliance-critical documentation efficiently. We focus on centralization, structure, tracking, and maintenance. Our documentation tracking and audit assistance ensure that organizations are always prepared for payer audits and compliance checks.
