HTCC vs SurgiConnect

“Find a CHT” is a free app created by the Hand Therapy Certification Commission that allows users to search for a Certified Hand Therapist (CHT). Searches may be done by therapist’s name, country, city, state, zip code or clinic name. Search results are displayed with contact information and a link to a map and directions. A Certified Hand Therapist (CHT) is an occupational therapist or physical therapist who has a minimum of five years of clinical experience, including 4,000 hours or more in direct practice in hand and upper limb therapy. In addition, the Certified Hand Therapist has successfully passed a comprehensive test of advanced clinical skills and theory in upper limb rehabilitation. Because of changes in the profession, every CHT is required to demonstrate continued professional development and competency by re-certifying every five years.

SurgiConnect is a professional second-opinion platform for board-certified US surgeons. Bring your NPI and your CAQH ProView profile — SurgiConnect handles the rest. Onboarding in minutes, not weeks. Most platforms ask you to hand-type every state license, expiration date, and hospital affiliation. SurgiConnect pulls all of it directly from CAQH ProView the moment you consent, with identity verification through id.me — the same provider used by federal and state agencies. Your profile is complete and ready for case review in a single sitting. Everything a surgical case needs, in one profile. Board certifications, active state licenses with expiration tracking, hospital privileges, malpractice coverage, DEA registrations — all auto-populated from your CAQH profile and kept in sync. Cases in your specialty and where you operate. Areas of Interest let you tell SurgiConnect exactly the case types you want to review. Practice Settings (hospital, ASC, office) drive routing so you only see cases within your specialties and settings. Secure by design. Two-factor authentication, Face ID sign-in, HIPAA-compliant infrastructure, no third-party sign-in, no unnecessary data collection. For licensed physicians only. Not a substitute for professional credentialing. See surgiquality.com for details.
