Your providers’ CAQH profiles are one missed attestation away from a network termination

We manage CAQH maintenance for PT, OT, and SLP practices so your providers stay in-network, your claims keep paying, and your front desk stops playing credentialing air traffic control.

Get a CAQH Risk Audit See how it works

The silent killer of in-network revenue

CAQH is not a one-time task. Every provider must re-attest every 120 days (180 in Illinois), keep every document current, and confirm every practice detail is accurate. Miss the window and the profile goes Expired. Let a malpractice COI lapse inside the profile and the attestation is worthless even if you signed it yesterday.

When that happens:

Payers can't pull current data, so recredentialing stalls.

Claims start denying with "provider not credentialed" codes.

Payers can terminate the contract. Re-credentialing takes 90 to 120+ days.

Patients get rescheduled, sent out-of-network, or lost.

Nothing is retroactive. Denials during the lapse stay denied.

Most practices ask providers to manage their own CAQH. It fails the same way every time: the clinician has five patients back-to-back, the reminder email gets buried, and nobody finds out until a denial batch lands three weeks later.

Built for Therapy Practices.

Generic credentialing shops treat outpatient therapy like an afterthought. We don’t do anything else. Prime Credential is a pure-play credentialing and payor enrollment company built exclusively for PT, OT, and SLP practices. We know which commercial payers pull CAQH weekly, which ones pull at recredentialing only, and which taxonomy and specialty fields trip up therapy providers specifically.

What We Maintain in Every CAQH Profile

We own the profile end-to-end. Every 120 days, on schedule, with documents verified against primary source before attestation. We keep the following current and aligned with NPPES, your W-9, your state license board, and your payer rosters:

Practice locations and contact info

Addresses, phone, fax, email, office hours, and languages spoken at each location.

Accepting new patients status

Availability kept accurate so payer rosters and provider directories stay up to date.

Malpractice history and disciplinary actions

Claims history, board complaints, sanctions, and Medicare/Medicaid exclusions on record.

Supporting documents & credentials

W-9, COI, license copies, board certs, and CV refreshed before each attestation cycle.

Professional licenses & certifications

State licenses, CPR/BLS, and board certs — renewed copies uploaded before expiration.

Facility and group ownership changes

Tax ID, NPI Type 1 and 2, and Medicare/Medicaid numbers updated as changes occur.

Re-attestation every 120 days

Logged in and re-attested on schedule — a stale profile means payers stop pulling it.

Professional liability insurance

COI with effective dates, expiration, coverage amounts, and carrier.

Specialties, programs, and taxonomy codes

Services, specialty designations, and taxonomy codes aligned with your payer records.

Four steps

You stop thinking about CAQH

Audit

We pull every provider’s current CAQH profile, flag expirations, mismatches, and missing data.

Clean up

We correct inaccuracies, upload current documents, align profiles with your payer contracts and NPPES.

Maintain

We re-attest every 120 days, track every document expiration, and update profiles any time a practice detail changes.

Report

You get a dashboard and a monthly summary. Every provider’s status, every upcoming expiration, every action taken.

Frequently Asked Questions

They can. Most eventually miss a deadline or let a document lapse. The cost of one terminated contract is larger than a year of managed CAQH service.

We recover it. Log in, identify the deficiency, upload current documents, re-attest, and notify affected payers. Most recoveries are days, not weeks.

Yes. CAQH maintenance can be a standalone service or bundled with full credentialing and payor enrollment through Prime Complete.

We request, track, and store directly. Your providers get one clear ask from us when something expires, not a drumbeat of CAQH reminder emails.

All of them. We manage credentialing across 40+ states and handle state-specific variations including Illinois’ 180-day attestation cycle and the thirteen wet-signature AAR states.

No federal mandate. But nearly every commercial payer — United, Aetna, Cigna, every BCBS plan, and most regionals — requires an active, attested CAQH profile to credential or recredential a provider. In practice, it is required.
