The universal credentialing (and recredentialing) application, created and maintained by the ACPCI, is meant to be a convenience to providers in Oregon, eliminating the need to complete multiple unique applications for each health plan, hospital, insurer, etc. However, credentialing is not governed by the state.

The state cannot give legal advice or give direction about how to answer any questions on the applications. Please use your best professional judgment, contact the health related organization responsible for credentialing or seek legal counsel, as appropriate.

Please only send completed applications to the health care related organization where you have applied. Applications received by this office must be shredded.

Credentialing standards are set and reviewed by The National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) which is a is a private, 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization dedicated to improving health care quality. Questions about their work should be directed to the NCQA website.

The OPCA and ORCA forms have been revised and are effective as of May 1, 2012. The Committee has granted a 90-day grace period of transition from the 2009 to 2012 forms, during which time both applications are acceptable.
