The world of the MSP has changed a great deal since then. She’s helped three different organizations go paperless and realized she delighted in the challenge of creating new and more efficient processes based on new technology and regulatory needs. In doing so, she realized she enjoyed leading a team through these challenges even more.

In her role, Angela leads teams in commercial payer credentialing (inclusive of privileging), government payor enrollments and system-wide provider data management.

Cheri Lipps-Brindle
Senior Credentialing Coordinator, Office of Medical Affairs
Centura Health
My name is Cheri Lipps-Brindle, I have been credentialing since 2014. I have experience in payer credentialing and medical staff services in both a Pediatric and Acute Care Hospital setting.
Currently, I am a Senior Credentialing Coordinator with the Office of Medical Affairs (OMA) for Centura Health. I handle files which must meet both NCQA and Joint Commission requirements. My files are prepared/processed for our contracted payors and the medical staff services department (MSSD) for privileging. I am knowledgeable in both payor terminology and privileging requirements for facilities, and I enjoy the challenges and fast-paced environment that credentialing provides. In addition to managing initial and reappointment applications, I assist in monthly and annual payor audits. I have been given the opportunity to lead in the delegation of our Kansas State Operating Group. This entails organization, implementation, and processing of all Kansas Centura Health Physician Group files. Delegation is when a health plan gives another health care entity (OMA) the authority to credential its health care providers on its behalf. This project for Kansas was a huge win for our team and will make the initial and reappointment credentialing process easier for our employed providers. Currently, I am managing the Southwest Operating Group, Kansas Operating Group, and the Hospitalists Operating Group. Within these groups, I work through several different physician specialties. In October of 2021 I overcame one of my biggest challenges which is public speaking. I presented at the National Association of Medical Staff Services (NAMSS) with two of my teammates on the Success in the Digital Age of Credentialing. We spoke on how changing credentialing software has improved processes and efficiency with credentialing and has created a more unified credentialing team. In the past OMA and MSSD worked independently of each other causing a lot of duplication, this has been minimized significantly with our credentialing software.
Outside of work, I am all play! I have two children, Johnny is 12 and Marley is 4, they are constantly on the go, whether it’s for school, sports or fun. My son enjoys baseball and basketball, and my daughter likes to bounce around on any and every object. For fun in the summer (or all seasons) we enjoy motocross together. My son and husband race, while my daughter and I ride around the tracks. We are completely obsessed with Disney; I am the definition of a Disney adult, and my kids follow right behind my footsteps. My favorite Disney movie is Beauty and the Beast, followed closely by The Little Mermaid. I have a slight obsession with iced coffee, if you know a good coffee spot, please send it my way. I will watch any movie you ask me to, and I love music more than life. Both of my children are named after famous musicians (Johnny Cash and Bob Marley). I love to read and listen to podcasts. Most importantly, I love living life to the fullest and spending it with my family and friends.
