| |
| Who
conducts this credentialing of cosmetic surgeons? |
| American Cosmetic Surgery
Network(ACSN), is the only dedicated nationwide
cosmetic surgery network. Prospective physicians
applying for participation go through an extensive
credentialing process to ensure that ACSN members
are referred only to qualified, board certified
physicians. |
| |
| What
information do you collect and evaluate? |
| ACSN accesses the National
Practitioners Data Bank (NPDB) in order to receive
the most comprehensive information available for
prospective ACSN physicians. |
| |
| Do
you provide the details of your credentialing? |
| Cosmetic surgeons are only
included in ACSN after they have passed all credentialing
and quality assurance requirements. If a doctor
makes application, goes through our credentialing
process and we find concerns that would not meet
our credentialing standards, the doctor will not
be allowed to participate. ACSN provider credentialing
details are confidential and are not available for
review. |
| |
| Do
you guarantee the doctors work? |
| No one can guarantee the
outcome of any surgery. Many factors affect the
outcome of surgery including patient compliance
and individual healing differences. However, we
can guarantee that the chances of a successful outcome
are many times greater when you are educated, use
a qualified physician, and take a proactive role
in the healing process. |

| |
| Do
physicians pay to be listed on your panel? |
| No—there are no yearly
or ongoing fees for the doctor to participate with
ACSN. ACSN only accepts a doctor if they meet the
ACSN credentialing requirements. |
| |
| What
are the specialties of the doctors who participate
with ACSN? |
| Currently we credential
plastic and reconstructive physicians and facial
plastic surgeons. Plastic surgeons are trained and
board certified in both facial and body procedures.
Facial plastic surgeons have taken their additional
board certification in surgery of the face and neck. |
| |
| Why
do I have to wait until I've purchased the referral
to get the name and contact info of the physicians
I've chosen? |
| ACSN has signed confidentiality
agreements with partipating physicians. ACSN
physicians have agreed to substantial discounts
in order to participate in the network and prefer
to have this information withheld from their competitors. |
| |
| Why
do you have a Disclaimer? |
| It is impossible to guarantee
the outcome of any surgical procedure. Outcomes
vary from person to person, and are affected by
many factors, such as post surgery patient participation,
individual rates of healing, etc. We have a disclaimer
so that you understand that ACSN is only facilitating
contact with physicians who have met certain criteria,
but that the decision to pursue that relationship
is solely up to you, and that ACSN is not responsible
for the outcome or services provided by the doctor. |
| |
| What
is the relationship between ACSN and the participating
physicians? |
| ACSN and the participating
physicians are independent entities and have no
relationship other than contracting with each other
solely for the purposes of delivering the described
services to ACSN members at a discounted rate. |
