Reminder: Keep your CAQH® information current

To ensure that your affiliation with the Blues isn’t interrupted, be sure you reattest with the Council for Affordable Quality Healthcare every 120 days. You’ll also want to update your CAQH information if you change your practice location.

Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan uses CAQH to gather and coordinate our practitioner credentialing information. All health care practitioners, including hospital-based health care providers and nurse practitioners, need to be registered with CAQH.

If you do not regularly attest to your information on CAQH, you will not appear in our provider directories or online search tool. Also, if your affiliation with us is interrupted, it can affect the claims you submit.

If you have any questions about CAQH, call the CAQH help desk at 1-888-599-1771. For questions about the credentialing process, contact your provider consultant.
