In the evolving landscape of healthcare, ensuring that providers meet the highest standards of professional qualifications before they are granted the privilege to care for patients in hospitals or health care facilities is paramount. The KAPER-1 form, developed in accordance with KRS 304.17A-535(5), embodies this crucial vetting process for health care providers seeking initial evaluation or credentialing in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Available through the Kentucky Department of Insurance website, this form serves as a Uniform Application for Evaluation, playing a pivotal role in the credentialing process. It mandates a comprehensive compilation of documents, including but not limited to, proof of current professional licenses, DEA certificates, verification of professional liability insurance, board certification, and a detailed curriculum vitae. Moreover, the form captures personal identification data, educational background, and outlines requirements for allied health professionals, indicating a tailored approach towards different practitioner categories. This meticulous documentation effort, underscored by the necessity of prior contact with desired health care facilities for information on submission specifics, underscores the thoroughness of the credentialing process. Such rigorous scrutiny ensures that only qualified professionals are allowed to practice, safeguarding patient safety and maintaining high standards of healthcare provision.

(Please read carefully before signing)
As a condition of applying for/accepting medical staff appointment or clinical privileges at the healthcare facilities listed in this application ("Hospital"), and whether or not my application is accepted, I acknowledge, consent, and agree as follows:
A)I extend absolute immunity to, and release from all liability, the Hospital, its authorized representatives, and third parties (as defined in subsection C below), for any good faith communications, recommendations, disclosures or administrative action involving and pertaining to: (1) applications for appointment, reappointment or clinical privileges; (2) periodic reappraisals; (3) proceedings for suspension or reduction of clinical privileges or for denial or revocation of appointment, reappointment, or any other disciplinary action; (4) summary suspensions; (5) hearings and appellate reviews; (6) care evaluations; (7) utilization reviews; (8) any other healthcare facility, medical staff, department, service or committee activities; (9) my professional qualifications, credentials, clinical competence, character, mental or emotional stability, physical condition, ethics or behavior; and (10) any other matter that might directly or indirectly impact or reflect on my competence, on patient care or on the orderly operation of the Hospital.
B)I will make myself available for interviews and acknowledge the burden of producing updated current information as to all questions on this application and such other information reasonably necessary to evaluate my qualifications. The Hospital and its authorized representatives may consult with and obtain information, including otherwise privileged or confidential information, from the Hospital's medical staff appointees and employees and from any third party bearing on my professional qualifications, all matters listed in subsection A, and any other matters bearing on my satisfaction of the criteria for reappointment to the medical staff. I authorize all persons and organizations having any knowledge of such matters to release said information to the Hospital or its authorized representatives upon request and I consent to the reporting of disciplinary information described below in section C.
C)The term "Hospital and its authorized representatives" means the Hospital, its governing entity, persons who have any responsibility for or knowledge pertaining to the matters outlined in subsection A above, and authorized Centralized Verification Organization (CVO). The term "third party" means any individual, including a reappointee to the medical staff or other healthcare facilities, other physicians and health practitioners, government agencies, professional liability insurers, and other entities from whom or by whom the Hospital, authorized CVO, or other authorized representatives have requested or supplied information pertaining to matters in subsection A above.
I acknowledge and agree that: (1) medical staff reappointment and clinical privileges are not a right; (2) applications and requests will be evaluated in accordance with prescribed procedures defined in the Hospital and medical staff bylaws, rules and regulations; (3) I shall be bound by the medical staff bylaws, rules and regulations, and corporate compliance programs, as amended from time to time, of hospitals to which I now and may subsequently apply;
(4)I pledge to provide for continuous care for my patients in the hospital; (5) Hospital or its authorized representatives and third parties acting in their official capacities will notify authorized CVO and appropriate governmental agencies, boards or professional associations of disciplinary or professional action taken with respect to me if required to be reported to the Kentucky Medical Licensure Board by KRS 311.606 or if required to be reported by the authorized CVO, by medical staff bylaws, or by any other state or federal law; and (6) that this authorization, attestation and release is irrevocable for any period during which I am an applicant for or have medical staff privileges at Hospital, or, if later in time, for as long as Hospital may be under a duty to report information pursuant to the Health Care Quality Improvement Act of 1986. Pub. L.
I represent and warrant that at the time of this application and at all times while I maintain medical staff membership that (1) I am not nor have I ever been, excluded or suspended for any period of time whatsoever from participation in any state or federal health care program, including Medicare and Medicaid;
(2)I have not been convicted under any state or federal law of any offense for which I could face mandatory exclusion from participation in any state or federal health care program, including Medicare and Medicaid; (3) I have not committed any act for which I may be permissibly excluded from participation in any state or federal health care program, including Medicare and Medicaid; (4) I do not hold, and have never held, a direct or indirect ownership or controlling interest of five percent (5%) or more in any entity that has been excluded or suspended for any period of time whatsoever from participation in any state or federal health care program, including Medicare and Medicaid, nor have I ever been an officer, director, agent, or managing employee of any such entity; and (5) I have never been convicted of a federal health care offense as defined in 18 U.S.C. § 24, including any theft, embezzlement, fraud, or other acts as prohibited therein with regard to any public or private health plan. I agree to notify Hospital immediately in the event I am unable to maintain one or more of these representations.
D)Information and documents derived from or compiled in connection with matters listed in subsection A above, shall be privileged and confidential to the fullest extent permitted by law.
Information contained in or attached to this application is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge.
