CAQH Attestation & Maintenance
Streamlining the Insurance Credentialing Process
The insurance credentialing process can be complex and time-consuming, requiring extensive paperwork and multiple forms. However, CAQH simplifies this process by storing all essential provider information in a secure, centralized platform. This allows organizations to easily access your business details, reducing administrative burdens.
With CAQH, your office can eliminate excess paperwork and focus more on patient care, ultimately improving workflow and efficiency. But what exactly is CAQH, and why is it important for your practice?
What is CAQH?
CAQH, or the Council for Affordable Quality Healthcare, is a nonprofit organization that provides a secure online platform for leading health plans and networks across the country. Its primary goal is to improve healthcare access and quality by simplifying administrative processes for providers and insurance companies.
What is CAQH Attestation & Maintenance?
CAQH facilitates secure access to provider information during the credentialing process, allowing health insurance companies to retrieve updated details such as work history and medical licenses. This eliminates the need for direct office contact and streamlines administrative tasks.
Understanding CAQH Attestation
CAQH attestation is the final step in your CAQH application process, where you confirm that all information in your profile is accurate and up to date. Providers are required to re-attest every 120 days to maintain the validity of their profiles.
Failure to complete or renew your attestation may result in payment delays or rejections. To prevent this, it is crucial to update your profile with any new malpractice policies, DEA certificates, licenses, or address changes.
The Importance of CAQH Maintenance
Your CAQH provider profile serves as a key representation of your practice. Since this information is accessible anytime, keeping it updated is essential. Ensure that your employment history, addresses, and practice-related details remain current.
Additionally, staying on top of re-attestation notices is vital. Even if no changes have been made, confirming the accuracy of your profile is necessary to maintain active participation with insurance providers. Missing this step can impact your credentialing status and disrupt reimbursements.
