Group Insurance Requirements

Proof of insurance is required for group credentialing. Insurance payers, hospitals, and state agencies need to verify that your organization is protected against both clinical and non-clinical risks. This page provides an overview of the types of insurance you’ll need and links to detailed instructions for each.

What this is

Group insurance requirements refer to the documentation your practice or facility must provide to show you have adequate insurance coverage. The two most commonly required types are general liability insurance and professional liability (malpractice) insurance. Some payers or states may require additional coverage, such as workers’ compensation or cyber liability insurance.
