What is Primary Source Verification?
Primary source verification (PSV) is the process of validating a healthcare provider’s credentials directly from the original or "primary" source. This means checking the authenticity of a provider’s educational qualifications, training, residency, licenses, certifications, and work history to ensure they are qualified to provide healthcare services.
