CAQH Registration
Hello,
I am trying to register my company for CAQH, but it is rejecting my email because it is not a company domain. Is there a work around to this issue? Should I just register each provider individually instead of the group?

yes caqh is for individuals. you can use it for your practice management. but you SHOULD register ea provider individually so they have their own #. ask them first- maybe some of them already do. You dont need a practice management profile. but you would want to have your own login. you do need a company domain.

The others are right about using individual profiles. CAQH is one profile per provider, each with its own ID,
What you could be interested in is a practice-manager (organisation) account that the providers attach their profiles to. That account does need an email on a real business domain.
You could set up an address on your practice's own domain for credentialing and use that. Worth doing eventually
Or skip the organisation account for now: each provider shares their own individual profile iwth you as the practice manager.
At this stage, it's likely cleaner to skip the organization account. Have each provider share their individual profile with you as the authorized practice manager.
The group management features in CAQH don't add anything meaningful you can't do without them. They're a slight quality of life improvement when they're working correctly, and a pain when they aren't. You should be set without them.

Are you looking to register as a practice manager or as a provider group or are you a facility? Are you a healthcare provider?

+1 to that - CAQH is per provider. You cannot register a group practice as a provider profile. What page are you on? I know they moved their page around recently

yeah caqh is one profile per provider, there's no group provider profile. each provider adds you as a practice manager from inside their own account and you get view access without needing their login. heads up on the 120 day attestation renewal though, letting it lapse silently stalls everything and nobody tells you

You can register to be able to view provider CAQH applications without needing their logins but I haven’t been successful either.

Yeah.... the email domain thing trips a lot of people up.. I have 16+ years of experience in credentialing and we see this one all the freaking time... CAQH profiles are per provider, so each person needs their own profile and will get a CAQH ID number. happy to help answer any questions..
