Peer Review and Physician Credentialing Committee

The Peer Review and Physician Credentialing Committee is composed of 13 members of the San Francisco Health Plan Quality Improvement Committee and supports the health plans efforts to ensure that its providers deliver the highest quality of care to its members. The committee achieves this by reviewing and approving the credentials of providers seeking to participate in the SFHP provider network or that face disciplinary action that affects their licensure, as well as monitoring and approving the credentialing policies and activities for delegated entities. The committee also serves as the reviewing body in the event of potential quality of care issues on the part of an SFHP provider.

The Peer Review and Physician Credentialing Committee of the San Francisco Health Plan meets every two months from 8:30am to 9:00am. Meetings are held at 50 Beale St., 12th Floor, San Francisco, CA 94105. Agenda and printed meeting materials are available for inspection at the same location in addition to the San Francisco Health Plan website.
