The partnership between The Clinic by Cleveland Clinic and Baton Health has been extended to streamline physician licensing and compliance processes across all 50 states. This collaboration allows The Clinic to offer rapid, fully licensed virtual second opinions from Cleveland Clinic specialists to patients nationwide.
Baton Health’s infrastructure backbone for healthcare credentialing enables The Clinic to verify and monitor licensure for its providers on an ongoing basis. By cross-referencing The Clinic’s database of specialists against its Universal Primary Source platform, Baton was able to generate a comprehensive report of over 10,000 licenses spanning all 50 states in a matter of hours. This has allowed The Clinic to expand its services and reach more patients.
With regulatory scrutiny on the rise, ensuring compliance with state laws and regulations is crucial for virtual care providers. Baton’s platform helps The Clinic stay ahead of licensing requirements, track renewals, and identify potential gaps in coverage. By automating the verification process, The Clinic can focus on delivering high-quality care without the burden of administrative work.
As virtual care models continue to evolve, regulatory compliance around licensing, enrollment, and scope-of-practice is becoming increasingly important. Baton helps The Clinic navigate this complex landscape by monitoring state licenses in real-time, flagging any issues early, and providing operational teams with the necessary tools to maintain compliance.
The Clinic specializes in virtual second opinions for complex and serious medical conditions, where expert input can make a significant impact on treatment decisions.
