Definition
CAQH
CAQH ProView is a central profile that physicians and other providers can keep so health plans can read the same credentialing data. It is run by CAQH, not by CMS. It is not the NPI registry and not PECOS. A plan may still ask for documents the profile does not hold.
Questions
CAQH, answered
Is CAQH the same as an NPI?
No. The NPI is the federal identifier from CMS. CAQH is a private profile many plans use during credentialing.
