Travel Therapy Credentialing Guide

Before you can start any travel assignment, you must complete a compliance/credentialing packet. Your agency's compliance team manages this process, but you provide the documentation. Start gathering documents early — missing even one item can delay your start date by weeks.

Weeks 1-2: Gather existing documents, schedule any missing immunization titers, order background check.

Weeks 2-3: Receive titer results, complete skills checklist, confirm references.

Weeks 3-4: Submit full packet to agency compliance team. They review and request any corrections.

Week 4+: Facility-specific requirements may add additional items. Drug screening typically done within 30 days of start.
