Your license has not changed. The form keeps asking anyway.

Your license, your board certification, your residency letter, ten years of work history with the gaps explained. You have supplied all of it before. On Bip you hold it once, attest to it from your phone, and share it by section with whoever needs it, for as long as they need it.

The same file, opened on a share you control: the sections you chose, one recipient, an expiry you set, and a log of when it was opened. Revoke it and the link stops working.

The problem

Your license, your diplomas, the residency letter, ten years of employment with the gaps explained. All of it was collected, checked and filed by somebody. Then you change employers and none of it comes with you. The next office opens an empty file, and you fill it in after clinic. Not because anyone was careless. Because the record was never yours to bring.

What is actually yours

The record belongs to the person who knows it.

You are the only party to this who has all of it, first-hand, and knows the day it changes.

You keep it: Licenses, DEA, board certifications, education, training, work history, coverage — in one place, kept current by you.
You attest to it: Each section carries the date you confirmed it was accurate, in your own name, and the confirmation stands until something changes.
You choose the audience: Share by section, to one named recipient, with an expiration you set. Revoke it and the link stops working.
You can see who opened it: Every view is logged against the share, with the time.

The app that holds it is the Provider App. A facility never edits your record; it asks, and you answer.

What travels, and what does not

Your credentials travel. Your privileges do not.

A hospital grants privileges under its own bylaws, against its own delineation, and that grant stays with the hospital that made it.

Appointment works the same way. What travels is the record those decisions were made from, so the next committee spends its time deciding rather than collecting.

Questions we get

The passport, plainly.

How do I get started?

Usually a facility starts it. They send a short code, you enter it in the app, and your record links to their request. From then on the record is yours — it stays when the assignment ends, and the next facility connects to the same file.

What can a facility actually see?

The sections you sent, for as long as you set, to the recipient you addressed. Every view is logged, and you can revoke a share at any point. Nothing is visible by default because you happen to work somewhere.

Which of my credentials count as verified?

Licenses are verified against the issuing state board, and exclusions are screened monthly against OIG LEIE. Everything else is labeled provider-supplied: the document is on file and the date comes off it, and your record never calls a certificate a primary source check.

Your credentialing office has to start it.

Bip is set up by the facility, which sends you a code to link your record. Tell us where you practice and we will reach out to them, or send them this page yourself.
