Facility Site Review

Provider Type

  • Physicians (does not apply to Cal MediConnect)
  • Participating Physician Groups (PPG)
    (does not apply to HSP)

Attention: The following information applies to Cal MediConnect physicians. Please disregard the above reference, “Physicians (does not apply to Cal MediConnect).”

Prior to enrolling Medi-Cal and Cal MediConnect beneficiaries with a primary care physician (PCP), the Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) require Health Net to perform a facility site review (FSR) as part of the initial credentialing process. Re-audits are conducted at least every three years as part of the recredentialing process. DHCS reviews the results of Health Net's site reviews and may also audit a random sample of provider offices to ensure they meet DHCS standards.

In an effort to decrease duplicative FSRs and minimize the disruption of member care at provider offices, Health Net and all other managed care health plans are required to collaborate in conducting FSRs. On a county-by-county basis, the plans cooperatively determine which plan is responsible for performing a single audit of a PCP and administering a corrective action plan (CAP) when necessary. The responsible plan shares the audit results and CAP with the other participating health plans.

Scope of the Review

Health Net conducts office site reviews and inspections using the same criteria and inspection checklist used by the DHCS Medi-Cal Managed Care Division. Refer to these DHCS samples:

Refer to definition of facility site review for more information.
