Why does the CAQH Provider Data Collection Form ask for such detailed practice information?
Detailed practice information helps ensure that UPD-participating health plans, hospitals, and other healthcare organizations can obtain all the information they need without having to conduct any follow up with physicians or other healthcare providers. The form’s broad scope also ensures that participating organizations can better maintain and improve provider directories and data systems. The online form only asks questions that are relevant to a particular specialty or provider type.
