CAQH Is Now DataSpring: What Providers Need to Know

If you've recently logged into CAQH and noticed a new name and updated branding, you're not alone.

CAQH has officially rebranded to DataSpring, marking a new chapter for one of the healthcare industry's most widely used provider data management platforms. While the name and visual identity have changed, many of the tools and processes providers rely on for credentialing and enrollment remain familiar.

So what does this mean for providers, practice owners, and credentialing teams?

What's Changing?

The organization formerly known as CAQH has introduced the new name DataSpring, reflecting its broader focus on healthcare data management, provider information exchange, and administrative efficiency across the healthcare ecosystem.

Providers may notice:

Updated DataSpring branding and logos
New website and marketing materials
References to "DataSpring, powered by CAQH"
Updated communications from participating organizations

What's Staying the Same?

For most providers and credentialing professionals, day-to-day workflows remain largely unchanged.

You will continue to:

Maintain your provider profile
Upload and manage credentialing documents
Complete attestations
Authorize participating organizations to access your information
Support payer credentialing and enrollment activities

The information stored within your profile remains an important resource used by many health plans and healthcare organizations during credentialing and enrollment processes.

Why Maintaining Your Profile Still Matters

Whether the platform is called CAQH or DataSpring, maintaining an accurate provider profile remains a best practice.

Keeping information current can help reduce administrative delays and ensure participating organizations have access to the most up-to-date provider information available.

Items to review regularly include:

✅ Professional licenses

✅ Board certifications

✅ Professional liability insurance

✅ Practice locations

✅ Contact information

✅ Supporting documentation

✅ Attestation status

Regular profile maintenance can help support smoother credentialing, enrollment, and recredentialing workflows.

What Providers Should Do Next

While no immediate action may be required due to the rebrand itself, this is a great opportunity to:

Log into your account
Verify all provider information is current
Review expiring documents
Complete any pending attestations
Confirm organizational access permissions are accurate

Taking a few minutes now may help prevent unnecessary administrative issues later.
