CAQH Attestation: A Provider's Quarterly Checklist

If you've been credentialed with even one commercial payer, you have a CAQH ProView profile — and that profile needs to be re-attested every 90 days. It's a small task with an outsized consequence: an expired attestation is one of the most common, and most avoidable, reasons a credentialing application stalls.

What attestation actually confirms

Attestation isn't a re-application. It's a confirmation that the information already in your CAQH profile — your practice address, licensure, malpractice coverage, specialty and affiliations — is still accurate. Payers pull directly from CAQH, so if your attestation has lapsed, they may treat your entire profile as unreliable until it's refreshed.

A quarterly checklist

1. Confirm your practice information is current. Address, phone number and group affiliations should match what's actually true today.
2. Check document expiration dates. Malpractice insurance certificates and state licenses have their own renewal cycles — make sure CAQH reflects the latest versions.
3. Review your specialty and practice location listings. If you've added a new location or changed your scope of practice, this is the moment to update it.
4. Re-attest before the 90-day window closes. CAQH will send reminder emails, but they're easy to miss in a busy inbox.
5. Confirm payer authorizations. Make sure every payer you work with still has permission to view your updated profile.

Why this is easy to let slip

Ninety days goes by faster than it sounds, especially for a task that takes ten minutes but isn't tied to a recurring calendar reminder anyone owns. For solo practitioners without administrative staff, it's often the first thing to get missed during a busy quarter.

Our customized tracking system is transparent for our providers and provides updates for our providers anytime.

This is exactly the kind of recurring task that's easy to outsource: low effort per cycle, but high cost when it's missed. We track every provider's attestation window and complete it before it becomes a problem.
