Managing Find-A-Doctor

For New MedStar Providers

→ Onboarding Process

To be listed within the MedStar Health Find-A-Doctor system, an employed provider must be:

  • Step 1: Active in PeopleSoft and credentialed in Hospital Credentialing or MedStar Family Choice Credentialing. See Verifying Employment
  • Step 2: Practice managers or marketing stakeholders must inform the digital team that the new provider has joined MedStar. Once the Digital team receives notification, the practice group will be assigned to the profile page and the profile page will be live. See Informing Digital Team
  • Step 3: Practice managers (post onboarding) must inform Kyruus to activate a new provider account in Kyruus. Provider will be able to edit their profile using their login information.  See Informing Kyruus

Find-A-Doctor is an online tool that displays provider's profiles, accessible through all MedStar websites.

An employed provider must be credentialed by Hospital Credentialing and active in PeopleSoft in order for their profile to appear in Kyruus ProviderMatch. 

  • To verify if a provider is active in PeopleSoft:
    • Contact Human Resources
  • To verify if a provider is credentialed in Hospital Credentialing:
    • Contact Hospital Credentialing
  • To verify if a provider is credentialed in MedStar Family Choice Credentialing:
    • Contact MedStar Family Choice Managed Care Credentialing

The practice manager or marketing stakeholder must also inform the Digital Team through Task Management that a provider has officially started employment at MedStar. The Digital Team will then assign the provider practice group (based on Hospital Echo) in order for the provider to show up on Find-A-Doc.

Practice managers or providers (post onboarding) must submit a ticket to [email protected] to activate a provider’s Kyruus ProviderMatch account by providing the provider’s MedStar email address, NPI, and Network ID. Provider will be able to edit their profile using their login information.

Kyruus ProviderMatch is a digital platform that the Digital Team and MedStar providers utilize to manage online Find-A-Doc profiles.

Kyruus pulls data from multiple sources such as Hospital Credentialing (Hospital Echo), Scheduling Systems (IDX), Managed Care (MFC Echo), and PeopleSoft. MedStar providers, practice managers, and hospital marketers play an essential role in submitting profile updates to either the Digital Team or various data sources.

Providers can access their profile (once activated) by visiting Kyruus ProviderMatch and utilizing their MedStar email address and Network ID (single sign-on is enabled).
