Update CAQH to Practice with Nourish

Edited

Important deadline: You are required to complete the required sections of your CAQH profile within 14 days of your start date to remain compliant with payer requirements and continue reaching patients across plans.

Estimated completion time: Less than 10 minutes, if you grant Nourish permission to update on your behalf! Otherwise, approximately 1 hour.

CAQH is an online profile that insurance companies use as your credentialing application.


Every provider must have an active CAQH profile with complete personal information and Nourish’s information added before credentialing can move forward.

What You Are Responsible For

If you do not already have a CAQH profile, you must register for one. Nourish is unable to complete the initial CAQH registration on your behalf.

Every provider must fully complete the following sections in CAQH:

  • Personal Information

  • Professional IDs

  • Education & Professional Training

  • Specialties

  • Employment Information

  • Disclosure

After your required sections are complete, you may choose to have Nourish complete the remaining portions of your CAQH profile for you, in accordance with CAQH guidelines and standards. In the next step of your Credentialing Checklist while completing your Credentialing Onboarding Form, you will be asked if you’d like opt-in for Nourish to manage your CAQH profile.

If you elect to have Nourish complete the remaining sections, we will handle:

  • Practice Locations

  • Credentialing Contacts

  • Professional Liability Insurance

  • Documents

  • Correcting errors

  • Attestation and ongoing maintenance

If you do not elect to have Nourish complete the remaining sections, you will be responsible for completing all remaining sections, uploading and maintaining documents, attesting the profile, and keeping your CAQH information up to date.

Details on both options are covered later in this guide.
