Disclosure in Application

Disclosure in application refers to your duty to fully and accurately disclose your history when applying for privileges, licensure, or insurance.

When you apply for hospital privileges, licensure, credentialing, or malpractice coverage, you are required to disclose your history accurately: training, prior claims, licensure actions, gaps. Contracts and applications often make a material omission grounds for termination or denial of coverage. Honest, complete disclosure protects you; a convenient omission can unravel a job or a defense later.

WHAT TO WATCH FOR

Disclose fully and keep copies of everything you submit. An omission that surfaces during a credentialing audit or a malpractice claim can cost you the position and the coverage at the worst possible moment.

You are about to sign something the senior people in your program signed without reading.

They had no guide either. You do. Start with the option that costs you nothing: see every practice that is actually out there before anyone hands you a contract.
