c)         Data collection:

 

1)         will be based on the last digit of each health care professional's Social Security number;

3)         will provide for a two-month collection period for each digit during which each health care entity and health care plan receives data from those persons being recredentialed.

 

d)         The single credentialing cycle reflects a six-month "OPEN" period when health care entities and health care plans cannot collect data from a health care professional, except as noted in subsection (a).  This period coincides with the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation's licensing schedule of physicians.

f)         Once recredentialing is begun in accordance with the single credentialing cycle, a health care entity or health care plan may continue to request data from a health care professional outside of the published single credentialing cycle if it is not submitted by the deadline date published in the schedule.

 

g)         Nothing in this Section shall be construed to preclude, or otherwise exempt, a health care plan from monitoring, on an ongoing basis, in between recredentialing cycles, information on sanctions, limitations on licensure, and complaints against health care professionals consistent with guidelines issued by any entity that provides private accreditation to health care plans, or from meeting any quality assurance requirement of the entity related to credentialing for the purpose of accreditation or otherwise.

B)        a detailed explanation and outline of the plan for conducting and time frame involved in the process that would be utilized in place of the published single cycle by the requesting health care entity or health care plan.

 

b)         The Director will evaluate the request for exemption based upon whether the plan is a small or unique health care entity for which compliance with the single credentialing cycle presents an undue hardship.

 

c)         The Department will notify waiver applicants of approval or denial by December 15 of the year prior to implementation of the single cycle.

 

d)         A denial of a waiver may be appealed in accordance with the procedures in Section 965.250.
