Provider Application Process
Through our on-line application process (AppCentral), a provider may request and apply for privileges and/or membership at one or multiple Presbyterian Healthcare Services' hospitals and/or clinics. In addition, providers currently on staff will have the opportunity to complete and submit their reappointment application through our on-line application process (AppCentral). The CVO team will perform the primary source verification on behalf of the hospitals and/or clinics. Once the primary source verification is complete, the completed application is sent to the appropriate medical staff office where the privileging/approval process will begin.
