The health network will instruct you on whether you need to the CAQH profile/application or andros application. If you need to use CAQH, please sign in to your account by clicking here. If you do not already have a CAQH profile, please register for an account. Practitioners with updated CAQH applications prior to beginning the credentialing process, can be credentialed within one week. If the required documentation is incomplete or missing at the time of credentialing, the process can take up to sixty days.
If you need to use the andros application, please follow the instructions provided in your original invitation that was sent to your email.
Incomplete or non-compliant applications will delay acceptance into the network.
