As a basis to continue the discussion on "Validation or Certification" - might I suggest that rather than begin with the 'assumptions' of the Vendors in the market place that the group take upon itself to conduct a survey of 'providers'. These are ones heavily impacted by the changes in 'filing claims' which translates to 'their livelihood and income'. If a properly worded survey was to be created that obtained a cross-section perception of what the 'provider' feels holding a 'certification' or 'validation' means this then can become the foundation upon which to begin the discussion. From this survey, requirements should quickly surface as to what the 'provider' perceives as 'required outcome' when he or she arrives at a point of 'certification' or 'validation'. If the provider perceives one thing and the 'vendor' another than no matter how much effort is put forth the end is 'unpleasant' at best.
