The Administrative Simplification Program has been engaged in a process to consider future vendors for the ongoing credentialing activities required by RCW 48.43.750(1)(a) and convened a credentialing working group. The Office of the Insurance Commissioner (OIC) has authorized the use of other vendors or other methods through a waiver process and tasked the working group with recommending a long-term solution for WA State credentialing. The working group, represented by health plans, providers, and Associations, recommended CAQH as the new credentialing vendor for WA State starting in 2024. We encourage you to begin your transition to CAQH.
