TYPICAL CVO
PSV priced per file, other workflows as add-ons
Verification feed only, workflow stays with your team
Manual reporting and audit prep
Tier-based ticket queues
Each plan pays to verify the same providers again
Not all CVOs are built for health plans at scale.
Most credentialing services are still verification feeds with a help desk attached. CertifyOS is an NCQA-certified CVO on its own provider data platform, with PSV, committee support, monitoring and rosters in one contract, and SharedCred for cross-plan credentialing.
