Sponsor:  Kirkton

This bill establishes the Prompt Credentialing Act which requires
a health carrier to credential a doctor of osteopathy or
allopathic medicine who is licensed to practice in Missouri
within 45 days of receiving a completed application or to grant a
provisional credentialing status until a final decision is made.
Once credentialed, a health carrier must retroactively compensate
a physician for services rendered from the date of his or her
application.
