What CAQH credentialing is, how the CAQH ProView portal works, common pitfalls, and how to automate the data work that surrounds it.
CAQH ProView is the universal provider data source most US payers consult to credential clinicians. This guide explains how CAQH ProView attestation works, what data providers must keep current (NPI, DEA, licensure, board certifications, work history, malpractice, education, references), the typical 30–120 day payer credentialing window, and how CerTracker automates the upstream data collection, monitoring, and re-attestation reminders that determine whether CAQH submissions go through cleanly the first time.
Eligibility, the DEA Form 224 application process, fees, state controlled-substance prerequisites, common pitfalls, and renewals.

This guide walks through eligibility (active unrestricted state license + state controlled-substance registration where required), DEA Form 224 application on the DEA Diversion Control site, the $888 three-year fee, NPDB and state board considerations, MATE Act training requirements, common rejection reasons (address mismatches, missing state CDS, expired licenses), and how to renew or transfer a DEA between states. CerTracker tracks DEA expirations, MATE training completion, and state CDS prerequisites alongside every other credential.
