As part of the contracting process for participation in Pinnacol’s provider network SelectNet, we evaluate physicians and other healthcare providers to confirm providers are adequately trained, certified and/or licensed to provide quality care. The credentialing process includes the collection and verification of data on the provider’s education, training, experience, practice history, location; disclosure of any issues impacting their ability to provide care; and other background information.
The Council for Affordable Quality Healthcare (CAQH) is a nonprofit alliance of more than 140 health plans and related organizations designed to make credentialing easier by gathering data in a single repository accessible to participating plans and organizations.
CAQH participation can improve data accuracy, reduce administrative burden and costs, streamline businesses processes, and mitigate compliance risks. CAQH participation is available at no charge to providers.
CAQH serves as Pinnacol’s credentialing verification organization. More than 90 percent of SelectNet participants use CAQH to self-report their professional information to major carriers.
CAQH makes it easier for providers to update their profiles, reducing the time and resources necessary to submit accurate, timely data to Pinnacol. Time-saving features enable healthcare providers to:
Office managers can enter information for multiple providers and eliminate the duplicative paperwork required for claims administration, credentialing, directory services and more.
