We can now charge the hospitals and clinics that are covered by the companies the fees charged to us by them plus internal processing for us having to get the required information. For any healthcare facility that thinks this is going to be a free service to them , pull your head out of the sand. These companies are a scam and this service can be done by any facility that can make and keep files. Generate a vendor badge and give it to all vendors. Have them scan a door reader on the way in and the way out, tracking done easy. I am a service vendor and would like to thank the credential companies.

However they have no credentials themselves! This fly by night companies are not recognized as far as I know by any oficial healthcare organization (JCAHO,the State or federal agencies, Better Business Bureau even!). So who polices this rent a cop that provides nothing but a PC and a printer at a hospital with no clinical concern to ensure good care? There needs to be a real agency that controls credentials of credited clinical providers and not this "money pit "call Reptraxx, and we have it, it is called JCAHO.

Please have someone call me at 937-609-2053, or give me your contact phone number. I need to know what hospitals does vendor mate cover in the states of Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky & Pennsylvania. Do I have to take and pay for these course again, each year or this a one time event? With covering 5 different states and so many different vendor companies like yourself, one could go broke or spend many hours managing all the requirements one has to complete to keep in compliance with all the different hospital I deal with.
