Become a Collaborating Physician

We provide physicians with secure, compliant and convenient clinical collaboration opportunities that expand their practice and maximize their earning potential.

Clinical collaborations are regulated by complex rules that vary based on state and clinical specialty. Our chief focus is maintaining the compliance of all of our collaborators, including:

• Contractual specifications

• State capacity limitations

• Chart reviews, check-ins, referrals

• Geographic limitation and proximity requirements

• Quality Assurance requirements

• Speciality requirements

Depending on the services you want to support, see below for general requirements for each collaboration:

Monthly Meetings: meeting with your provider at a regular cadence, typically via teleconference in a group or individual setting. These meetings may support general clinical and professional development questions as well as other aspects of the collaborative relationship.

In some restrictive states (such as Georgia, Tennessee, and Alabama) there could be additional in person meeting requirements which we will supply compliance information for if you are collaborating in those states.

Ongoing Support: review and respond to clinical questions and escalations raised by the provider through the Zivian Health platform.

Chart Review: Conduct a specified number of monthly chart reviews, which depends on the state you are collaborating in.

Zivian Health provides medical malpractice insurance to physicians. Once you are in an active collaboration there will be a COI assigned to you. We do require that each collaborating provider also add you as a secondary provider on their malpractice insurance.

Physicians must need to complete an enrollment form, disclosure form, credentialing profile, and W-9.

Yes! You will be required to share the total collaborative agreements you have outside of Zivian Health so we can make sure you do not exceed the allowable capacity. Each state has different requirements, so we’ll request the information by state.

Payment is issued on a monthly basis per individual executed and active APP collaboration. Agreements are executed once you and the APP have signed the agreement. You will be paid on the 15th of each month, following the first full month of collaboration. If collaboration commences in the middle of a billing cycle, you will be paid the following pay date.

Please note that if you are collaborating in a state that requires Board approval, the collaboration won’t be active until you receive approval.

The onboarding process typically moves as fast as you do. Most physicians are able to be onboarded in as little as 3 days.

When physicians and providers enroll with Zivian Health, we collect information that helps us determine their matching preferences based on the services they need, scope and licensure. We work to find matches that we feel will be long-lasting collaborative relationships.

Certain providers may need the ability to prescribe controlled substances through a collaborative agreement. Prior to accepting any agreement, all physicians are required to meet with their potential collaborators to discuss feasibility.

During the physician intake process, a physician may also provide specific requirements for these arrangements, such as EHR preferences and other limitations.
