About your application
 

The Health Care Credentials and Data Collection Act requires us to use uniform forms to collect your credentials data. We now accept provider credentialing applications through the Council for Affordable Quality Healthcare (CAQH) Universal Provider Datasource. This system is a national provider credentialing application database that streamlines the application process by reducing administrative costs and the need to submit multiple applications for different health plans.
