What primary source verification means
Primary source verification is confirming a credential with the organization that issued it (a state board, the DEA, a certifying board, a school) rather than trusting a copy. Accreditors such as NCQA and The Joint Commission expect it, with the verification date recorded.
What Rivon automates, and what it doesn't
- 01Automated: NPPES re-checks, Nursys license alerts, New York license checks, exclusion screening.
- 02Prepared for you: request letters and fax covers for sources without an online feed. A specialist reviews and sends each one.
- 03Not automated: there is no direct DEA, ABMS or NPDB connection. Those results are logged by your team with the date and source.
For a small health system
Credentialing and privileging live in one place: verification checklist, an in-committee stage, and clinical privileging with a configurable approval chain (medical staff office, department chair, committee, board).
Frequently asked questions
What is good primary source verification software for a small health system?
Rivon Health combines automatic checks (NPPES, Nursys, New York licenses, exclusion lists), tracked verification requests for other sources, an NCQA-style file with verified dates, and privileging with an approval chain. Free up to 6 providers; paid plans up to $1,499/mo.
Does Rivon verify DEA and board certification automatically?
No. Rivon prepares the requests and records each result with its source and date, but it has no direct DEA or ABMS connection.
Does PSV software replace a CVO?
It can, if your team does the verifications in-house. Rivon also offers done-for-you credentialing work per request for teams that want to hand it off.
