uses screening guidelines similar to those set forth by National Committee
for Quality Assurance (NCQA), Joint Commission on Accreditation of
Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) and Utilization Review Accreditation
Commission (URAC) guidelines. These organizations are accreditation entities
that apply quality measurement protocols to determine if physicians meet
certain quality standards. These standards have been primarily used in the
managed care industry CSC uses those guidelines as a template and has
developed additional criteria specific to cosmetic/plastic surgeons.
CSC is currently the only company in the US
to formally evaluate physicians in this manner. The comprehensive nature of
this methodology sets us apart. It provides clients with peace of mind and a
convenient way to find a competent and talented surgeon. All physicians
participating with CSC must go through this credentialing process. |
