As you may know by now (by reading previous articles) an important part of getting (and staying) on insurance panels is CAQH Reattestation.
In the series of posts, we’ve written about how every provider need to update their CAQH, or re-attest to its accuracy every 120 days.
See articles: Stay on Insurance Panels: Don’t let your CAQH Expire and Medical Credentialing and CAQH Re-Attestation.
About 30 hours after submitting your online Re-attestation with CAQH, you will likely get an email such as the one below. Basically, a confirmation.
Interesting Note: The email below says that CAQH can notify you of a re-attestation being due by both email and fax, but I’ve never known to get a fax notification.
Here’s the CAQH email Confirmation. Enjoy!
Provider Name: JOHN SMITH MD
CAQH Provider ID: 11888811

thank you, many people do not realize about the importance of insurance, they are generally aware of the bad things happen. so why should delay if now we can begin to set aside a little money to invest in the future.
That’s a good point — Thanks for the Comment!
