What is CAQH and Why is it Important for Credentialing?

November 1, 2025 / admin /

CAQH (Council for Affordable Quality Healthcare) ProView is a centralized database that stores provider credentialing information used by most health plans and healthcare organizations. Instead of completing separate applications for each payer, providers enter their information once in CAQH, and participating organizations can access it. Maintaining an active, up-to-date CAQH profile is essential because most insurance companies require it for credentialing and recredentialing. You must attest to the accuracy of your information every 120 days to keep your profile active. Failure to maintain your CAQH profile can delay or prevent credentialing with new payers and cause issues with recredentialing for existing contracts.
