CAQH serves as a centralized provider database used during credentialing, recredentialing, and payer enrollment. Instead of maintaining separate information for every payer, providers can maintain their information through their CAQH profile and authorize participating payers to access it.

A complete CAQH profile should contain accurate provider information, licenses, certifications, and supporting documents. Regular profile reviews can help identify missing information or expired documents before they create issues during enrollment.

CAQH management can include creating a new profile, updating information when details change, completing required attestations, and auditing the profile for accuracy. The service information provided for this project specifies CAQH attestation every 120 days.
