What if a provider does not answer all the questions on the CAQH Form UCDS?
An HMO may determine how much information is required on the CAQH Form UCDS. An HMO is allowed to require providers to complete the entire form, and may reject providers who fail to provide a complete form. Alternatively, an HMO may determine that some items are not necessary. However, an HMO and its credentialing agents must be consistent and nondiscriminatory if the HMO decides some information on the CAQH Form UCDS is not required.
