Process for Approving/Denying Applications

We finish the final review for approval after a credentialing specialist verifies that the application is fully complete and complies with requirements in chapter 18.360 RCW and chapter 246-827A WAC. We complete background checks and make sure applicants have submitted required fees. Credentialing supervisors and lead workers have the authority to approve routine applications. The disciplining authority may conduct further review if the credentialing supervisor can't verify that the applicant meets all requirements. We'll formally notify applicants of a denial. Those applicants may request a hearing to appeal the decision.
