Revised Certificate of Death

Beginning January 1, 2012, the Pennsylvania Department of Health will be implementing a revised Certificate of Death, Form H105-143.

A few general reminders in achieving a complete and accurate death certificate:

• When photocopying blank forms or utilizing software to print the certificates, please keep in mind that the paper must be legal size.
• Please refrain from hole-punching the certificate as this hampers the numbering process.
• Always remember to use BLACK permanent ink.  No gel pens or erasable ink.
• After January 1, 2012, old certificates will not be accepted.

 
Credentialing

Our goal is to ensure that all of Pinnacle Health providers are highly qualified and competent to provide the best patient care in Central Pennsylvania.
 

Our professional team strives to maintain an effective credentialing and re-credentialing program by adhering to Pinnacle Health's bylaws, policies and procedures, as well as guidelines established by external accrediting organizations such as TJC, NCQA, URAC, State and Federal. We serve as the hub of practitioner information for departments providing clinical care or related ancillary or administrative services.
 

We support the medical staff, medical staff leadership and medical staff committees of this organization who are recognized for their clinical and academic achievements.

Provider Enrollment

Our staff facilitates enrollment for employed physicians and allied health providers with the contracted health plans at PinnacleHealth. We also serve as the contact person(s) with the health plans and handle re-credentialing applications as they are due.
