Dear Physician:
Thank you for your interest in applying to the Medical Staff of Banner Estrella Medical Center.
The Application Process
The first step in applying for privileges is to submit the initial application request form which can be accessed by clicking on “Physicians and Residents” located at the top of this page. Then click “Apply for Privileges.” Upon completion of this form, simply click “Submit Request” and it will be sent via e-mail to the Banner Health Credentialing Verification Organization (CVO). Once received by the CVO, you will be sent a more detailed application to complete.
The CVO will notify Banner Estrella regarding your interest in applying. In addition to the application mailed to you by the CVO, Banner Estrella will mail you a facility-specific packet that needs to be completed and returned directly to the Medical Staff Services Department at the Medical Center in order for your application to be processed.
Minimum Qualifications
The Medical Staff Bylaws describe the minimum qualifications for membership. If, upon review of your application, it is determined you do not meet the minimum qualifications for membership and privileges, your application will not be processed. BEMC requires board certification be obtained within five years of completion of training or sooner as required by the department, or within two years from the expiration of original board certification or recertification.
Please refer to the “Related Links” on the right side of this page for important documents relating to Medical Staff membership and privileges.
Once you have had the opportunity to review these documents and complete the required facility-specific packet, please return the packet along with the application fee of $300.00 to:
Banner Estrella Medical Center
