CAQH Maintenance: The Silent Revenue Killer Most Practices Don’t See Coming

What Every Healthcare Leader Needs to Know About CAQH in 2025

CAQH ProView is a cornerstone of modern credentialing — but the industry often underestimates how much attention it requires. Inconsistent maintenance, missed re-attestations, outdated documents, or overlooked expiration dates can create massive slowdowns that directly interfere with a provider’s ability to work and bill.

While the CAQH platform may look simple on the surface, the operational risk it carries is anything but.

Why CAQH Maintenance Matters More Than Ever

1. Re-attestation every 120 days

Many organizations believe CAQH is “set it and forget it,” but the system requires routine re-attestation every four months — meaning every provider needs multiple touchpoints every year.

2. Providers cannot be credentialed with payers without an active CAQH

This is often where practices are blindsided. A single expired license, outdated malpractice certificate, or missing DEA automatically halts the process.

3. Payers now rely more heavily on CAQH validation

More payers are moving toward automated pulls from CAQH, meaning any gap affects multiple insurance plans at once.

4. Delays create revenue loss

Outdated CAQH profiles can prevent:

  • Claims from being processed

  • Providers from being shown as in network

  • Payers from approving new enrollments

Even a one-week lapse can create a domino effect.

Common Problems We See Inside Organizations

  • Providers who forget to re-attest

  • Missing or expired documents

  • Payer access issues

  • Incorrect personal information

  • Uploaded files in the wrong format

  • Staff unsure which documents CAQH requires

  • No reminder system

  • No dashboard or visibility across all providers

These issues scale quickly — especially for growing organizations or those with multistate providers.
