Notice: Health care providers must attest in CAQH every 90 days

Have you attested in CAQH within the past 90 days? CAQH is a nonprofit alliance of health plans and trade associations focused on simplifying health care administration. If health care providers don’t re-attest with CAQH every 90 days, they won’t be included in Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan provider directories. That includes our Find a Doctor search tool. That’s why it’s so important to perform this task.

Here are some other reasons to re-attest with CAQH:

• Ensure that your affiliation with Blue Cross isn’t interrupted.
• Keep your contact information up to date.
• Make sure that claims payment isn’t interrupted.

Regardless of whether  providers are practicing at an office location or practicing exclusively in an inpatient hospital setting, they need to perform this attestation.

If you’re practicing exclusively in an inpatient hospital setting, you must indicate it on your CAQH application. This information is used to determine whether full credentialing is required.

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

If you have questions about CAQH, call the help desk at 1-888-599-1771, or go to CAQH.org.**
