What is primary source verification?

PSV is the process of verifying a credential directly with the body that issued it — a state licensing board, certifying organization, or educational institution — to confirm authenticity and current status.

Is PSV required for accreditation?

Yes. The Joint Commission, NCQA, URAC and other bodies require PSV for many practitioner credentials. CerTracker captures the evidence accreditors expect.

Can PSV be automated?

Most PSV checks can be fully automated through CerTracker's integrations and verification engine. Edge cases are routed to a human reviewer.
