June 4, 2025- The Clinic by Cleveland Clinic, a leading provider of virtual second opinions (VSOs), has renewed its relationship with Baton Health to expand licensed clinical expertise to patients around the country by streamlining and scaling physician credentialing. As more regulatory scrutiny is placed on virtual care providers, The Clinic chose to work with Baton Health—a modern platform for real-time primary source verification.
A joint venture between Cleveland Clinic and Amwell, The Clinic offers patients quick access to Cleveland Clinic’s world-class providers and sub-specialists. Collaborating with Baton has enabled The Clinic to generate an accurate and comprehensive view of provider licenses by state and specialty in near real-time. Going beyond the traditionally cumbersome manual processes and self-reported provider data helps The Clinic ensure compliance and physician availability quickly and completely to support the growing demand for specialty care across the country.
Upon implementation, Baton cross-referenced The Clinic’s database containing more than 3,000 Cleveland Clinic specialists against its Universal Primary Source platform. Within hours, Baton created a comprehensive report of over 10,000 licenses spanning all 50 states, including previously unknown licenses, which enabled The Clinic to expand services to more patients. Baton and The Clinic have worked together to continually monitor and verify new and existing licensure for its providers. In their renewed collaboration, The Clinic will also use Baton’s platform to automatically check provider licensure on an ongoing basis for an even more streamlined process.
