Hospital patient undergoing surgery recounts how Hero Soul provided strength, inspiration, and hope during recovery

“I used to look in the mirror and only have time to take a quick glance to ensure that I looked acceptable for a full day ahead of me. At 32, I am a mother of two and a wife of 8 years. I work full time and after putting in a days worth of work, I come home to my next full time job. Dinner, clean up, soccer practice, dance class, homework, baths, laundry I have a fully hands-on devoted husband that equally shares in the daily responsibilities but even then it is still so busy at times.

I recently ruptured my Achilles tendon. I needed to have surgery and knew that my recovery period would take several months. Anxious the morning before surgery I began reading, “Psychology of the Hero Soul.” It was given to me to read by a friend at work. I began reading the book and it had a calming affect on me. I knew I had to face my fears and deal with my reality. The night after surgery I had trouble sleeping so I continued to read “Psychology of the Hero Soul.” When I finished, it rejuvenated my outlook on life.

After reading this book I can now look in the mirror and see so much more of myself. I can surpass my physical “self” and look beyond to my mind, soul, and spirit. I have forgotten about my passions, ambitions, and the true person that I am. I have neglected what it is that I want to be remembered for in life and what I want to pass down to my children. I have learned that I need to enjoy the moment because life is passing by quickly. I also need to take the time to accomplish my goals in life and not say that I just don’t have time. I have to take actions to achieve my dreams.

I have learned that I need to maintain my soul and spirit by cleansing it from stresses, jealousies, and overall negative energy. Once the mind is cleansed it can be replenished with love, tranquility, passions, and dreams. With a positive outlook anything is possible.

I believe that “Psychology of the Hero Soul” is a well-written book that provided me with many examples of people whose extreme focus, determination and good virtues resulted in greatness. I was pleasantly surprised by the analysis of Perseus in the book. The Clash of the Titans has been one of my all time favorite movies as a child and Greek mythology has always fascinated me.

I have been so inspired to make myself a better person in every aspect of my life, as a mother, wife, co-worker, friend, daughter, and sister. During my recovery period this book has provided me with “food for thought,” tools to make my dreams a reality and enable me to keep a positive attitude during my healing process.” - Krupali Prevete

Q. What is credentialing?

A. It is a process by which insurance carriers and hospitals verify the credentials of the medical provider. This includes verification of licenses, verification of malpractice insurance, verification of college degrees and background checks to disclose any felonies or criminal activity.

Q. Why is credentialing important? Who is it important to?

A. It is important to the provider to maintain his credibility with the insurance carriers and to hopefully receive a contract to participate in an insurance companies various programs. This is critical to a medical provider due to the fact that most of us want to see a doctor in our network as it creates a savings for us with our medical expenses. Most out of network benefits require us, the patient, to meet a deductible before any payments to the provider of services are made.

Q. How does credentialing help the medical provider?

A. Once a medical provider is credentialed and accepted into an insurance plan, their information is then posted in the provider directory. If a patient is looking for a medical provider in their network, they usually search by zip code. If a medical provider is not listed in that directory, the medical provider has missed the opportunity to get a new patient. Therefore, credentialing in a sense is a marketing tool as well.

Q. How does a medical provider go about the process of credentialing?

A. Credentialing is an extremely time consuming process and requires an individuals’ undivided attention. Current documents must be attached to a standard application which should be type written for legibility. Documents include licenses, diplomas, resumes, and declaration pages of the current malpractice. A cover letter should accompany the application and documents, introducing the provider to the carrier or hospital. Most providers use an outside service for this process.

Q. How long does it take to be credentialed?

A. Most carriers take from 90-180 days to complete their credentialing process. Once the provider is credentialed, the applications goes before a committee for final acceptance into an insurance plan.

Q. How will the provider know if they are accepted into a plan?

A. Most carriers inform the provider via letter along with a welcome packet of some type. Another method is to track your application which requires someone to contact the carrier every couple of weeks to check the status of the application.

All in all, credentialing is a very important part of the medical providers’ business.
