A message from Oishei’s:

Hello Providers,

Please be advised that there is construction that initiated today in the ED at Oishei. The ambulance entrance is open and operational but you will need to detour (signage up) to be triaged at the regular location. The anticipated duration of this project is 10 days.

Thank you for your patience and understanding,

Credentialing Deadline

By Uncategorized

Greetings Everyone,

So I just wanted to let everyone know that we are near the end of this years annual credentialing. Many of you have still yet to submit your reports to UBMD through the portal. Please get that done before Friday.

I have been contacted by several agencies in the Big Lakes region regarding this matter. All the Big Lakes agencies have yet to be added to the Portal and will not occur until at least next years credentialing. For those of you in the Big Lakes region, please submit your credentialing to Lakeplains in the same manner as years past.

Thanks
