CHAPTER 1: Introduction
The purpose of this document is to guide you as a provider through the process of entering
your profile information free of charge into CAQH ProView™ to meet a variety of data needs of
health plans, hospitals and other healthcare organizations. It also defines the steps to
authorize, attest and maintain your data profile through the re-attestation process.
CAQH ProView Overview
CAQH ProView is the healthcare industry’s premier resource for providers to self-report
professional and practice information to payers, hospitals, large provider groups and health
systems. CAQH ProView eliminates duplicative paperwork for these organizations that may
require provider profile information for claims administration, credentialing, directory services,
and more.
Through an intuitive, profile-based design, you can easily enter and maintain your information
for submission to your selected organizations. CAQH ProView can be accessed at
https://proview.caqh.org/pr.
The following steps provide you with a high-level overview of the process to complete your
data profile.
1. Register with the system.
2. Complete all application questions.
3. Review your data profile for accuracy.
4. Authorize participating organizations access to your data profile.
5. Attest to your data profile.
6. Upload your supporting documentation.
This document will provide additional information and helpful tips for each of these steps.
Getting Started
Completing the initial CAQH ProView profile may take up to two hours; however, preparing
yourself for the information requested will reduce the time required to complete your profile.
Additional time may be required depending upon several factors, including the number of
practice locations, amount of postgraduate training and work history, and overall familiarity
with online tools and systems.
While CAQH ProView was designed to be compatible with most Internet browsers, we
recommend upgrading to the most current version of Internet Explorer, Chrome or Safari, and
using one of these browsers for the best performance.
If your practice has an office manager or clinic administrator who assists with gathering
information for credentialing or other administrative purposes for multiple providers, the CAQH
Page 4
CAQH ProView Provider User Guide v13
3 | P a g e
ProView Practice Manager Module may facilitate your data entry process. Data that is the same
for multiple providers (e.g., clinic name, address and phone number) can be entered once by a
practice manager, rather than having to be entered repeatedly for each individual provider.
Please refer to Chapter 7: Importing Data from the Practice Manager Module for more
information regarding this functionality.
System Security
The confidentiality and security of provider information and the privacy of system users are
critical priorities for CAQH. CAQH has implemented information security policies, standards,
guidelines, processes, procedures, and best practices to strengthen its security program and to
protect its information assets. CAQH ProView is designed to be compliant with laws and
regulations relating to the privacy of individually identifiable information.
The CAQH ProView solution is housed in secure datacenters where multiple physical and
electronic safeguards are implemented. Secure Internet access to application screens, use of
passwords and certificates are used to help ensure only authorized use of the system. Powerful
Transport Layer Security (TLS) encrypts the data in transition; the database content is also
encrypted at rest and in backup to prevent unauthorized access to CAQH ProView. Only
authenticated users have access to their restricted data. Virus detection mechanisms are used
to help ensure that the database and the websites are free of viruses. Routine encrypted backups protect volatile system data and are secured in an off-site storage facility.

• If you need assistance on the Home Page, you can access the “Help” link that is
displayed in the top right-hand corner on the Home Page.
Page 26
CAQH ProView Provider User Guide v13
25 | P a g e
The Home page displays five components:
1. Profile Summary
• Provides a summary of your key profile information, such as your CAQH Provider ID, any
outstanding required fixes that need to be made to your data profile, and your primary
practice state. You can also easily access a “Change Password” button here to change
your password if necessary.
2. Message Center
• Displays information relevant to your account, information from CAQH and actions
required. This also displays any notifications from CAQH regarding missing or expired
documents.
3. Supporting Documents
• Provides links to any supporting documents that have been uploaded to your profile.
• Displays the approval status of your supporting documents.
• If you have questions on uploading your documentation, refer to Chapter 6: Uploading
Supporting Documentation.
4. Attestation History
• Provides a record of your attestation history.
• Attestation is the term used to show you certify that you have carefully reviewed all
information contained within your CAQH data profile and that all information provided
by you is true, correct and complete to the best of your knowledge. You also acknowledge
that your CAQH data profile will not be considered complete until supporting
documentation and signed Authorization, Attestation and Release Form are submitted.
5. Available Imports.
• Displays any sections containing data available for import into your data profile. With
CAQH ProView, practice managers have the capability to enter information on your behalf
and then export that information for your access and to ease your data entry
requirements. You will have the option to import any available data as a new set or
replace an existing set of data within the section. You also can compare your existing data
to the data entered by a practice manager before you choose to import the data.
In addition, to these components, across the top of the home page is a navigation menu, which
allows you to navigate to four sections to complete your profile information:
• Profile Data – Click here to enter your profile information (See Chapter 4)
• Documents – Click here to review your supporting documents (See Chapter 6)
• Review – Click here to review the information you have entered and correct any required
errors (See Chapter 5)

the re-attestation.
• Any changes done after the re-attestation will not be reflected on the Activity Log unless
you complete the re-attestation again after making the additional changes.
• If after the re-attestation these changes are still not reflected on the Activity Log, sign
out from CAQH ProView and log in again and go to Activity Log. The details of the
changes should appear on this page of your profile.
• Changes on the Documents section and Authorization page will reflect on the Activity
Log even if you have not yet re-attested.

CHAPTER 4: Completing Your Profile Information
CAQH ProView will guide you through the process of completing your information and
managing your profile data and supporting documentation. From the Home Page, click on
“Profile Data” on the top navigation bar to begin the process.
Tips:
1. Throughout the system, required fields are indicated with a red asterisk (*).
2. If you need assistance, you can access the “?” link that is displayed on the right-hand
side of the screens.
3. Use “Save and Go Back” or “Save & Continue” to page backward or forward within

4. It is important to click on the “Save” button or the “Save & Continue” button to save
your information. If you close the browser or move to another screen via the left-hand
navigation screen without clicking “Save” or “Save & Continue”, you will lose your
information. Clicking on the back and forward arrows will not save your information
either.
FIGURE 42
Page 32
CAQH ProView Provider User Guide v13

Clicking on “Profile Data” shows a drop-down list of 12 Sections: Personal Information,
Professional IDs, Education, Professional Training, Specialties, Practice Locations, Hospital
Affiliations, Credential Contacts, Professional Liability Insurance, Employment Information,
Professional References, and Disclosure. They are described in further detail below. Questions
presented to you may vary based on your primary practice state.
Personal Information
The Personal Information section requests basic information such as name, phone numbers,
and contact information. Some information on this screen may be pre-populated based on the
information you entered during the self-registration process. Additional information or tips are
provided below as applicable to assist you with completing these fields.
Tips:

▪ Provider Type, Practice Setting and Practice State
o You will first be asked to identify your provider type, practice setting and practice
states. The answers to these questions will drive the questions presented to you
throughout CAQH ProView’s profile sections. If you practice in multiple states and
one of those states includes a state specific credentialing application, the state
specific questions and the CAQH ProView standardized questions will be presented
to you in one integrated flow throughout the system. You will be required to
complete all required questions for both the CAQH ProView standardized profile
questions as well as any state specific questions.
▪ Home Address
o Not required to complete your application; however, hospitals have identified that
this information adds value in confirming your accessibility to the hospital.
▪ Mailing Address
o Enter the "Mailing Address” of the physical location of your practice. If you do not
have a physical practice location, you may enter a P.O. Box; however, it is important
to note that health plans intend to use this information for their directories. If you
would like to enter a P.O. Box for the billing address, please enter this information in
the Billing Contact section.
▪ Primary Method of Contact
o An email is required as a primary method of contact for CAQH ProView. This email
will be used for all system generated messages, such as reminders when it is time to
re-attest to your data profile.
o You also can enter two additional email addresses (PMOC CC1 and PMOC CC2) that
will be copied on the system generated messages.
▪ Personal Identification Numbers
o Your Social Security Number is required to complete the application.
o NPI – National Provider Identification Number
▪ This is a provider’s Type 1 National Provider Identifier. It is a unique, 10-digit
identification number issued to health care providers by the Centers for
Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).
Page 34
CAQH ProView Provider User Guide v13
33 | P a g e
Note: All Type 1 NPIs will undergo a one-time validation. Validation failures will be displayed as
a required fix.
FIGURE 44
You may see the following errors on the Required Fixes page:
• This number could not be found in the NPI database. – This means that the Type 1 NPI
that you have entered is an invalid one. Please review for any possible typo error.
• This is not an Individual NPI. – You may have entered a Group NPI on the Individual NPI
field. Please review the value that you have entered on the Individual NPI field.
• This number does not match the name you provided in ProView, {ProView First Name}
{ProView Last Name}. – Please review the Individual NPI that you have entered. There
might be a typo error that has caused the mismatch.

For Providers whose Provider Type is either MD, DO, NP, or DMD with Inpatient/Outpatient or
Outpatient Only as the Practice Setting, the Primary Practice State and each of the other Practice
States (in case of multi-state Providers) should have a matching value populated for the State
field in the General information section for any active Practice Location (where you answered Yes
to the question: Do you practice at this location?). There will be an error for each Practice State
that does not match an active Practice Location.
FIGURE 45
On the screenshot above, the practice state on the account is Colorado but there is no active
practice location in Colorado listed in the profile. The Provider is required to either add an active
practice location in Colorado or remove Colorado as a primary practice state, whichever is
applicable.
• The Update Practice States hyperlink in the error links to the Personal Information Page.
Once the user has clicked the hyperlink, the following error is displayed on the top of
the Personal Information Page, in red text:
You have selected {Primary Practice State or Practice State} as a practice state
but you have not indicated that you practice at a location in {Primary Practice State or
Practice State}. Please add a practice location in {Primary Practice State or Practice
State} or remove {Primary Practice State or Practice State} as a practice state.

FIGURE 46
• If you add a practice location to match the Practice State, and click "Save and
Continue", you will be redirected to the Correct Errors Page and will no longer see the
error.
• The Ignore hyperlink in the error links to the Ignore pop-up that already exists for
Address Standardization. The pop-up should have the same functionality, i.e., if the user
clicks the "Yes" button, the error is removed from the Correct Errors Page.
• You are required to either fix the error or click Ignore and then click "Yes" in the pop-up
so that the error disappears on the Correct Errors Page, and you will be able to attest.
Professional IDs
The Professional ID section requests that you enter all professional identification numbers and
upload any applicable supporting documentation. If you have questions on uploading your
documentation, refer to Chapter 6: Uploading Supporting Documentation.
Tips:
• If you need assistance, you can access the “?” link that is displayed on the right-hand
side of the screens.
• Use “Save and Go Back” or “Save & Continue” to page backward or forward within
sections.
• It is important to click on the “Save” button or the “Save & Continue” button to save
your information. If you close the browser or move to another screen via the left-hand
navigation screen without clicking “Save” or “Save & Continue”, you will lose your

The subsections are listed below and may vary based on your practice state.
▪ Primary Specialty
▪ Secondary Specialty
▪ Additional Specialty
▪ Board Examination – dynamically displayed/hidden based on your entries
▪ Certifications – The system will ask if you have received any of the following
certifications. Additional information regarding each certification is provided below for
your reference.
o CPR - Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation certification: Community level classes
concentrate on performing CPR on adults and older children. Some also include
AED training, which teaches how to use the electronic defibrillation unit on heart
attack victims. Professional level classes are designed for health care
professionals, ski patrol, police, firefighters and emergency medical technicians.
These classes teach all the skills previously mentioned, as well as removal of
airway obstructions for victims of all ages. Other skills are also included in these
classes, including inserting tubes to keep the airway open, using an oxygen tank,
artificial breathing apparatuses and techniques for performing two-person CPR.
o BLS - Basic Life Support Certification: Basic Life Support (BLS) certification is a
relatively short training course required of many health professionals to help
revive, resuscitate, or sustain a person who is experiencing cardiac arrest or
respiratory failure of some sort. This could include a drowning victim, heart attack
or stroke patient, or any scenario where breathing or heartbeats have been
compromised.
o ACLS - Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support Certification: ACLS is an acronym
for Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support. This certification is required of many
healthcare providers who will be interacting with patients. Like its name implies,
ACLS is usually required of more advanced medical professionals, as it does
include some invasive procedures, unlike Basic Life Support (BLS), which is
required of almost all healthcare professionals.
o ALSO - Advanced Life Support in OB Certification: Advanced Life Support in
Obstetrics (ALSO®) is an evidence-based multidisciplinary training program that
prepares maternity health care providers to better manage obstetric emergencies
when and wherever they occur. ALSO's evidence-based learning path bridges
knowledge gaps and boosts skill sets using a team-based approach, hands-on
training, and mnemonics to reduce errors and save lives.

o Health Care Provider (CoreC)
o ATLS - Advanced Trauma Life Support Certification: Advanced Trauma Life
Support (ATLS) is a training program for medical providers
(MD/DO/DPM/PA/NP/CO) in the management of acute trauma cases, developed
by the American College of Surgeons. Similar programs exist for nurses (ATCN) and
paramedics (PHTLS). The program has been adopted worldwide in over 60
countries, sometimes under the name of Early Management of Severe
Trauma (EMST), especially outside North America. Its goal is to teach a simplified
and standardized approach to trauma patients. Originally designed for emergency
situations where only one doctor and one nurse are present, ATLS is now widely
accepted as the standard of care for initial assessment and treatment in trauma
centers. The premise of the ATLS program is to treat the greatest threat to life
first. It also advocates that the lack of a definitive diagnosis and a detailed history
should not slow the application of indicated treatment for life-threatening injury,
with the most time-critical interventions performed early.
o NRP – Neonatal Resuscitation Program certification: NRP was developed and is
maintained by the American Academy of Pediatrics. This program focuses on basic
resuscitation skills for newly born infants.
o NALS - Neonatal Advanced Life Support certification: NALS training,
administered by the American Academy of Physician Assistants, delivers the same
syllabus as NRP, has similar flexibility in its format, and equips trainees with
identical knowledge and skills.
o PALS - Pediatric Advanced Life Support Certification: The PALS Course is for
healthcare providers who respond to emergencies in infants and children. These
include personnel in emergency response, emergency medicine, intensive care
and critical care units such as physicians, nurses, paramedics and others who need
a PALS course completion card for job or other requirements.
o Anesthesia Permit
▪ Other Interests
▪ Professional Associations: A professional association or professional society is usually an
organization seeking to further a particular profession and the interests of individuals
engaged in that profession. This is the section where you specify which Medical
Professional Associations and Societies you are affiliated to. You can add more than one
association to the list.

Inpatient/Outpatient or Outpatient Only Providers who practice in any of the states.
If your answer is either a Yes or a No to “Do you practice at this location?”, options will be
displayed in a single select dropdown list.
You should enter a Yes answer if there is a chance that you will submit a claim for this practice.
Whether you work at this practice every day, once a week, once a month, just to cover as
needed, or to read tests or provide other services, a Yes answer accurately answers the
question.
You should answer No to this question if you do not practice at this location and would never
(or no longer) submit claims for services rendered at this location. This option is generally used
to update existing practice locations. The absence of a practice location is difficult for a health
plan to understand so rather than delete a location at which you no longer practice, you should
enter a No answer to “Do you practice at this location?”.

▪ General Information
o Provider’s Start Date
o Office Type
o Can general correspondence be sent to this location?
o Office Phone Number - Please ensure that the phone number listed is the one that
patients can use to schedule an appointment with the provider at that location.
Patients depend on the accuracy of provider directories when choosing a health plan and
physicians. Inaccurate directories pose significant challenges for patients, contributing to delays
in care, limiting choices of providers and masking problems with network adequacy.
FIGURE 67
In an ongoing effort to improve the accuracy of provider information listed within directories,
CAQH ProView will ask providers to confirm that the phone number listed for each practice
location is the primary method that patients may use when scheduling an appointment. If you

For Providers whose Provider Type is either MD, DO, NP, or DMD with Inpatient/Outpatient or
Outpatient Only as the Practice Setting, each active practice location (where you answered Yes
to the question: Do you practice at this location?) should have a matching Primary Practice State
or Practice State on the Personal Information section. There will be an error for each active
practice location that does not have a matching Practice State.
FIGURE 69
On the screenshot (Figure 53), the account has an active practice location in Colorado but
Colorado is not selected as a Practice State in the Personal Information section. The Provider is
required to either change the answer to the question “Do you practice at this location?” from Yes
to No for this practice location record or archive the practice location record, or add Colorado as
a Practice State.
• The Update Practice Locations hyperlink in the error is a hyperlink to the Practice
Locations Home Page. Once the user has clicked the hyperlink, the following error is
