These site visits will be conducted parallel to the credentialing process for new and existing providers, and when a member submit a complaint concerning to practice sites’ physical accessibility, physical appearance and adequacy of waiting room space. These visits will begin on October 2016.

During the site Visit, a TNPR Quality representative will be evaluating aspects such as: office accessibility, security and office environment, equipment, confidentiality, patient safety and risk management services, credentialing, medical records, quality assurance and utilization and appointment availability (24/7 telephone accessibility).
