§ 162.156. DATA DUPLICATION PROHIBITED. (a) A health
care entity may not collect or attempt to collect duplicate core
credentials data from a physician if the information is already on
file with the board. This section does not restrict the right of a
health care entity to request additional information not included
in the core credentials data on file with the board that is
necessary for the entity to credential the physician. A health care
entity or its designated credentials verification organization may
collect any additional information required by the health care
entity's credentialing process from a primary source of that
information.
(b) A state agency may not collect or attempt to collect
duplicate core credentials data from a physician if the information
is already on file with the board. This section does not restrict
the right of a state agency to request additional information not
included in the core credentials data on file with the board that
the agency considers necessary for its specific credentialing
purposes.
(c) The board by rule may except from Subsections (a) and
(b) a request for core credentials data that is necessary for a
health care entity to provide temporary privileges during the
credentialing process.
