@Mooko12 CEP told me that I am a contract worker. CEP has a contract with this hospital.

@Mooko12 Thank you so much for your advise =)

@mooko12Yes this fee is for credentialing. So, this is a normal thing that everyone has to do?

@UGoLong I got hired with CEP America and they are contracted with this hospital that I will be working for. I assume that I am not self-employed. Please correct me if I am wrong. Thank you.

Hi guys, I am a recent graduate and just got hired as a contract worker as an ER PA. I am currently waiting for my credentialing and DEA license. I am trying to finish up my credentialing for this hospital but the hospital is asking me to pay $250 (non-refundable) for an application fee. I find that very odd and it is a red flag to me but since this is my first job as a PA, I don't know if this is a normal process or not. Please give me some insight. Thank you.
