--- title: "What Is CAQH ProView? The CAQH Provider Data Portal" description: "CAQH ProView, now the CAQH Provider Data Portal, holds self-reported credentialing data for health plans. How it works, and how Cuvo Health credentials." canonical: "https://cuvo.co/glossary/caqh-proview" last-updated: "Oct 26, 2026" --- **Definition:** CAQH ProView, now called the CAQH Provider Data Portal, is a free online profile where clinicians enter and attest to their professional data once and authorize health plans to use it for credentialing, enrollment and provider directories. # What is CAQH ProView, now the CAQH Provider Data Portal? Clinicians who join health plan networks keep one credentialing profile instead of filling out a form for every plan, and for years that profile was called CAQH ProView. In 2026 CAQH rebranded as DataSpring, powered by CAQH, and the portal now carries the Provider Data Portal name. Cuvo Health credentials every provider in its network through primary-source verification before a first visit. Published Oct 26, 2026. Facts reviewed Oct 26, 2026. CAQH ProView is the online profile where clinicians enter their professional information once, attest that it is correct, and authorize health plans to use it for credentialing, enrollment and directory management. In 2026 CAQH rebranded as DataSpring, powered by CAQH, and the portal now calls itself the CAQH Provider Data Portal; DataSpring says portal access, accounts, profiles and saved links stayed the same, and sign-in remains at proview.caqh.org. The portal is free to providers, and profiles are kept current on a 120-day attestation cycle. Its data is self-reported, so a credentialing program still verifies it. Cuvo Health credentials every provider in its network through primary-source verification before a first visit. **At a glance** - What it is: A self-reported, attested credentialing profile that health plans access with the clinician's permission - Current name: CAQH Provider Data Portal, from DataSpring, powered by CAQH (DataSpring clinician Q&A, June 2026) - Cost to providers: None, per DataSpring - Upkeep: Profiles maintained on a 120-day attestation cycle - What it is not: Primary source verification; the credentialing program still confirms each credential - On Cuvo: Every provider credentialed through primary-source verification before a first visit **What the profile does and what a credentialing program still does (DataSpring, checked October 26, 2026)** | Task | CAQH Provider Data Portal | Credentialing program | | --- | --- | --- | | **Collect professional data** | The clinician enters it once for many plans | Uses it as the application | | **Attest accuracy** | The clinician re-attests on a 120-day cycle | Relies on a current attestation | | **Share with plans** | Only with organizations the clinician authorizes | Requests the clinician's authorization | | **Verify credentials** | Not by the profile itself; DataSpring sells verification as a separate service | Confirms each credential at the source | | **Monitor sanctions** | Not by the profile itself; DataSpring sells monitoring as a separate service | Screens on its own cadence | ## 01. Why does CAQH matter for a telehealth brand? Health plans credential the clinicians in their networks, and the portal is how many clinicians hand over the data: DataSpring's fact sheet describes one credentialing application accepted in all 50 states. A telehealth program whose clinicians join plan networks will meet the profile at every plan application. Every program, whether or not it bills a plan, still needs its own credentialing of each clinician, because the profile is the clinician's account of the facts rather than a verification of them. ## 02. Is CAQH ProView the same as primary source verification? No. The profile collects what the clinician reports and attests to, and the clinician controls who sees it. Primary source verification confirms each item with the board, school or registry that issued it. The two work together: the profile supplies the application, and the credentialing program checks it with the issuers before a clinician treats anyone. ## 03. What happened to CAQH ProView in 2026? CAQH, the Council for Affordable Quality Healthcare, became a for-profit company and rebranded as DataSpring, powered by CAQH. DataSpring's June 2026 clinician Q&A says CAQH was not sold or acquired, is owned by shareholder companies affiliated with health plans, does not charge providers to use the portal, and has no access to clinical or claims data. Clinicians needed to take no action: logins, profiles and saved links carried over. ## 04. How often must a clinician re-attest in CAQH? DataSpring maintains profiles on a 120-day attestation cycle, so a clinician confirms the profile is accurate roughly three times a year, and its fact sheet recommends updating the profile quarterly to cut follow-up requests from plans. On Cuvo, the brand never recruits a provider, files a license or tracks a renewal: Cuvo credentials and recredentials the network itself. ## Frequently asked questions **Q: What is CAQH ProView?** A: It is the online profile, now called the CAQH Provider Data Portal, where clinicians enter and attest to their professional data once and authorize health plans to use it for credentialing, enrollment and directories. On Cuvo, every provider is credentialed through primary-source verification before a first visit. **Q: Is CAQH ProView now called the Provider Data Portal?** A: Yes. CAQH rebranded as DataSpring, powered by CAQH, in 2026, and the portal at proview.caqh.org now carries the CAQH Provider Data Portal name, with logins and profiles unchanged. Cuvo Health's own credentialing confirms every provider's credentials with their issuers. **Q: How often do you have to attest in CAQH?** A: DataSpring maintains profiles on a 120-day attestation cycle, so clinicians re-attest about every four months. On Cuvo, the brand never recruits a provider, files a license or tracks a renewal, because Cuvo credentials and recredentials its network on a set cycle. **Q: CAQH vs primary source verification: what is the difference?** A: The CAQH profile holds what a clinician reports and attests to; primary source verification confirms each credential with the body that issued it. Cuvo Health verifies every provider at the source before a first visit. **Q: Does a telehealth brand need CAQH?** A: A program whose clinicians join health plan networks will use the profile for plan credentialing, but no profile replaces verifying each clinician. Cuvo Health credentials its whole network through primary-source verification and screens it monthly against the HHS-OIG LEIE and SAM.gov. **Related pages** - [Provider credentialing](/glossary/provider-credentialing): The full credentialing process - [Primary source verification](/glossary/primary-source-verification): What a self-reported profile cannot replace - [National Provider Identifier (NPI)](/glossary/national-provider-identifier): The HIPAA identifier on every profile - [Telehealth licensing and credentialing across all 50 states](/blog/fifty-state-provider-network): Who handles each step - [The 50-state provider network](/provider-network): Cuvo's credentialing file and screening cadence - [Telehealth glossary](/glossary): Every term a telehealth founder meets Canonical page: https://cuvo.co/glossary/caqh-proview
