1.5 Create a CAQH Profile (Provider Data Portal, formerly CAQH ProView)

Last updated: July 23, 2026

⚠ Note: As of June 2026, CAQH rebranded to "DataSpring, powered by CAQH," and the system formerly called "CAQH ProView" is now sometimes labeled the "Provider Data Portal." Nothing about the login, your data, or the process below has changed — same URL, same steps, same 120-day attestation cycle. If you see either name when you log in, you're in the right place.

Step 1: Get an NPI Number

Make sure you have an active NPI before starting. (Apply at https://nppes.cms.hhs.gov if needed.)

Step 2: Go to CAQH ProView

Visit: https://proview.caqh.org

Step 3: Create an Account

Click "Register" (if you don't already have a CAQH ID). https://proview.caqh.org/PR/Registration

Fill in:

  • Name

  • NPI

  • Email

  • Contact info

Step 4: Complete Your Profile

Enter your info section by section:

  • Personal info (name, DOB, SSN, etc.)

  • Education & Training

  • License(s)

  • Work history (last 5 years)

  • Malpractice Insurance

  • Board Certification(s)

  • DEA/CDS (if applicable)

  • Hospital privileges (if applicable)

Step 5: Upload Documents

Scan and upload:

  • State license(s)

  • Malpractice insurance face sheet

  • DEA certificate (if applicable)

  • Board certs (if applicable)

  • CV/Resume

Step 6: Review & Attest

Double-check all info.

Click "Attest" to confirm it's accurate.

🕒 You'll need to re-attest every 120 days.

Step 7: Authorize Health Plans

Grant permission for payers (insurance companies) to access your CAQH profile.

🎉 Done!
