(b) A health carrier shall notify a health care professional of any information obtained during the health carrier's credentialing verification process that does not meet the health carrier's credentialing verification standards or that varies substantially from the information provided to the health carrier by the health care professional, except that the health carrier shall not be required to reveal the source of information if the information is not obtained to meet the requirements of the act or if disclosure is prohibited by law.
