Update your delineation of privileges list with any new requested procedures (include CPT codes for easy reference) and get governing board approval as that happens. Once approved, provide a copy to the scheduler so she knows what's appropriate to schedule. Upon re-appointment, create a document for the applicant to sign and request either no changes, or indicate any requested changes with the correlating CPT code. Don't forget to include non-procedure privileges, like moderate sedation and radiology. Once you grant appointment … provide the applicant with a let- ter indicating the appointment period, and a reminder that the appointment is based on adherence to the facility's by-laws. Put the re-appointment date in your calendar.
