Vendor Credentialing Process

MyMichigan Health has implemented a credentialing program to ensure that all vendors and their representatives are appropriately screened, oriented, and receive training in MyMichigan Health policies prior to conducting business with any MyMichigan Health subsidiary.

This policy will help improve patient safety by assuring that vendor representatives are who they say they are, are trained to provide the services we expect them to provide, and have the appropriate clearance to be in the MyMichigan Health area(s) we expect them to be in. It will benefit vendors by facilitating access to MyMichigan Health facilities and personnel to conduct business.
