About Donna Gaydos
Donna is a Certified Provider Credentialing Specialist (CPCS) through the National Association of Medical Staff Services (NAMSS). With 20+ years of healthcare experience guiding her and her co-workers, she is one of the longest-serving family members for Fifth Avenue Healthcare Services and Primoris Credentialing Network.

Donna Gaydos: Early Life Accomplishments
Donna gathered her extensive credentialing experience in 1997 while working for Hillcrest Healthcare System, one of Oklahoma’s leading health systems. Hillcrest is the home of several hospitals and 80 regional clinics, and the Oklahoma Heart Institute, Oklahoma’s most advanced committed hospital for preventing and treating heart disease.
Donna worked as a provider representative in the managed care department at Hillcrest. She acted as a liaison between the organization and its healthcare providers, helping to reduce Hillcrest’s healthcare costs and increase the quality of patient care. In addition, Donna served as a valuable resource for physicians, providing accurate information about network procedures and contracts.
Donna Gaydos: Putting Experience to Good Use
In 2004, Donna took her years of experience at Hillcrest and joined Fifth Avenue Healthcare Services, formerly known as the Physicians Management Assistance Group. Along with cofounders Joe Spann and Brad Bond, she was one of the earliest team members as Fifth Avenue Healthcare Services began servicing the credentialing needs of healthcare organizations and providers in 2003.
Donna has worn many hats over the past two decades with Fifth Avenue and currently serves as the Director of Data Integrity Management with Primoris Credentialing Network, a sister company to Fifth Avenue Healthcare Services. From the beginning, Donna helped lay the foundation for credentialing policies and procedures with Fifth Avenue and Primoris. In addition, she deftly maintains and monitors these procedures to ensure they meet Fifth Avenue’s superior level of accuracy, having helped lead Primoris through numerous carrier audits and passing each audit with flying colors.
Donna also oversees the Client Relationship Managers. As the largest IPA in the Midwest, the Primoris team manages the credentialing and enrollment process for thousands of providers across the country with 54+ different health plans and network options. We couldn’t do it all without Donna, who leads her team with humility and grace, smiling and working relentlessly for our provider clients.

Apart from her hard work at Primoris, Donna has her hands full with her family. She has been blessed with two children and five grandchildren. Her daughter, Amy Haney, has long been a Fifth Avenue Healthcare Services employee. Together, they make up quite a mother-daughter power team, and we are fortunate to have them as part of our Fifth Avenue family.
As an essential member of the leadership team at Fifth Avenue Healthcare Services and Primoris Credentialing Network, Donna Gaydos CPCS, Director of Data Integrity Management, has the respect and admiration of her peers. Her co-workers have often said they wouldn’t be where they are today without her. She is incredibly sweet yet strong, modest yet prevailing, inspiring her colleagues through her unwavering dedication.
