ALS CREDENTIALING POLICY
NOTE:
All
providers seeking credentialing in the Westchester Region should
be familiar with the current REMAC
Credentialing
Policy 
.
PRIMARY AGENCIES
All providers must choose one agency to be their "Primary" agency. This agency will be responsible for tracking the providers continuing medical education (CME) and call audit (CA) hours required for re-certification. The "Primary" agency will submit reports to the REMAC regarding the provider's progress on a yearly basis.
APPLYING FOR CREDENTIALING
The provider must submit a completed Credentialing Application with copies of his or her NYS certification card, NYS drivers license or other NYS ID card, and a signed Credentialing Support Form from the "Primary" agency. This letter of support will indicate that provider is working for a regional EMS agency that will be responsible for tracking the provider's CME and CA.
TESTING
Written and physician interactive (oral) exams are scheduled on an individual basis by the EMS Office. Providers are not required to be employed (volunteer or paid) by a "Primary" Westchester Regional EMS agency to sit for a protocol exam. A credentialing ID card will not be issued, however, until a "Primary" agency is selected and a letter of support filed.
INFORMATION UPDATES
A provider must notify the Regional EMS Office of the following changes:
-
if he or she changes "Primary" agency (MUST be communicated within 10 days of change)
-
changes to contact information (ie address)
These changes must be communicated to the Regional EMS Office by submitting an ALS Provider Update Form with the appropriate section completed.
RE-CREDENTIALING
Westchester REMAC credentialing expires upon expiration of a provider's NYS certification card. Prior to expiration the provider should submit an Application For Credentialing Renewal, with copies of his or her new NYS certification card and a signed Credentialing Renewal Support Form from the "Primary" agency.
The number of CME and CA required to be completed for recredentialing depends upon the date the provider entered the system and when his or her NYS certification card expires. The standard forty-eight (48) CME and twenty-four (24) CA is based on a full three (3) year or thirty-six (36) month cycle. Credentialing periods less than that will be prorated accordingly:
