When it is not possible to verify that the individual's credential is on the AMS list
using the rules in DI 22505.004A in this section, document all attempts to resolve the issue through personal contact,
or a state authority. DDS staff must use the “Claims Communication” function in the
electronic claims analysis tool (eCAT) to document the disability determination explanation
(DDE). For information about DDS documentation requirements in non-eCAT claims, see
DI 20503.001E and DI 40525.125.
NOTE: Verification may be verbal, written, or via an official state agency website. It is
not necessary to obtain a copy of the certification or license for inclusion in the
folder. Include the verification information in the DDE.
1. Verification through personal contact
Call, fax, write, or use secure email without personally identifiable information
to contact the source to resolve the issue.
2. Verification through a state authority
IMPORTANT: The following instructions provide an optional expedient without changing the role
of the DDS Medical/Public Relations Officer (MPRO). Follow your local DDS policy regarding
the verification of credentials.
You may verify credentials using an official state agency website maintained for the
purpose of verifying medical licensure. You may also call, fax, or write, the appropriate
state authority. The following list of official state agency verification authorities
