CAQH

<< < (2/3) > >>

Michele:
Some of the carriers do require that you complete the CAQH, but if you don't already have one then they will assign you (the provider) a CAQH number so that you can complete the application, then they continue with the credentialing process.

I'm having the same problem as Michelle, I have sent application paperwork to several insurance companies and I'm waiting for them to assign my provider a CAQH number so I can go in and set up his CAQH account. I have several other insurance companies that require a copy of the CAQH application in order to apply to be in network. I wish they would allow us to apply directly to CAQH! It would make life so much easier! Do you know if an insurance company will only apply for a CAQH number IF they plan on allowing the provider to become in network? I asked BC/BS to get a CAQH number for my provider but they have too many of his provider types in our area so they would only approve the provider for out of network.

Thanks,
Cheryl

I have only encountered carries "encouraging" it not requiring it. It's a third party and it's optional. I have seen the option on most applications but I usually skip over it. Like I said I never have a problem.

Michele:
Some of the carriers wait to assign the CAQH # after they have determined if they are going to accept them in the network.  That is the problem.  I have had other carriers assign the number to me over the phone (in which case I threatened to crawl thru the phone line and kiss her!).  Unfortunately I have not found a national carrier that will assign them over the phone!
