How often does CAQH ProView need to be updated?

What Is CAQH ProView?

CAQH ProView is a centralized credentialing database used by 1,000+ health plans. When you apply to join any commercial payer network, they query your CAQH profile to verify your license, board certification, malpractice insurance, and work history. Without a complete, attested CAQH profile, no payer application can proceed. Learn about ProEnrollment's CAQH management service.

Most Common CAQH Mistakes

The top CAQH errors that cause credentialing denials: (1) NPI-NPPES address mismatch; (2) Wrong taxonomy code; (3) Expired attestation; (4) Missing payer authorizations; (5) Unexplained work history gaps. Free CAQH Readiness Tool | get started with ProEnrollment.

Section-by-Section Setup Walkthrough

Personal information: must match NPPES exactly — legal name, practice address, phone. Education and training: every program with month/year dates and completion documentation. Work history: five years minimum, no gaps over 30 days without written explanation, dates matching your CV. Licenses: every state, every type, with expiration dates current. Malpractice: carrier, policy number, limits, and effective dates with continuous coverage shown — upload the face sheet. Disclosure questions: answer honestly and explain anything flagged; payers verify against the NPDB anyway, and an unexplained yes is far better than a discovered omission.

The Authorization Step Everyone Misses

Completing your profile isn't enough — the Authorizations section controls which payers can access it. Either select global authorization or individually authorize every target payer; an unauthorized payer sees nothing and your application stalls with no error message anywhere. Then attest, and re-attest every 90–120 days forever: expired attestation freezes every in-flight application silently. Set calendar reminders or use managed attestation.
