Why is the CAQH Universal Credentialing DataSource important to me?
BCBSNC and Partners work to ensure that the healthcare providers under contract with us are adequately trained, certified and/or licensed to provide care. One of the most integral parts of the credentialing process is the collection and verification of vital data from the provider regarding his or her education, training, experience, practice history, location, disclosure of any issues impacting their ability to provide care, and other background information. Credentialing involves paperwork and administrative time. The CAQH Universal Credentialing DataSource greatly reduces the amount of administrative time required in this process for physicians and other health care providers.
