CAQH Universal Provider Datasource (UPD)

 

We are now accepting provider credentialing applications through CAQH (Council for Affordable Quality Healthcare) Universal Provider Datasource (UPD). This system is a national provider credentialing application initiative from the CAQH. 

 

The easy-to-use, streamlined database is the single repository of participating health plans for health care provider information, alleviating the need for physicians and other health care providers to complete and submit many different credentialing forms for multiple health plans, hospitals and other health care organizations. More than 300,000 providers are now reducing paperwork and administrative costs through the UPD.
