Why does the CAQH application ask for such practice specific details?
CAQH is collecting additional information about your practice so that participating health plans can improve and maintain the data in their provider directories and provider data systems, as well as have the full scope of information needed to conduct initial credentialing and recredentialing. Health plans often collect practice information on the credentialing application to have data available to assist health plan members in making more informed selections of providers and potentially reduce the volume of calls to your office for this practice-specific information. As with all of the other questions in the application, it is important that you complete the sections on your practice, and attest to the accuracy of your responses. The CAQH application contains a broad scope of questions so that all of the participating plans can obtain the information that they require for their own credentialing processes without having to contact you directly.
