CAQH Is Now DataSpring: What Therapists Need to Know
If you logged into your CAQH account recently and noticed a new name, you were not imagining it. On June 8, 2026, CAQH officially rebranded as DataSpring, powered by CAQH. Your login did not change. Your profile did not change. Your attestation schedule did not change. But there is context worth understanding, and a few things worth checking while you are in there.
What Actually Changed
The name and the branding changed. DataSpring launched a new website at dataspring.com and announced the rebrand publicly at the AHIP 2026 conference in Las Vegas on June 8. The underlying platform, which you likely knew as CAQH ProView, now operates as the DataSpring Provider Data Portal. Your login at proview.caqh.org still works. Your profile, documents, and attestation history are all intact. Nothing needs to be re-entered or re-submitted as a result of the rebrand itself.
What Did Not Change
The Provider Data Portal is still the same system. The enter-once, share-with-many model that makes the platform useful is unchanged. Major commercial payers including Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, and Blue Cross Blue Shield plans still pull your credentialing data from this portal when processing your applications. Your payer authorizations are still in place. Your attestation window is still every 120 days. The portal is still free for providers.
The Bigger Shift: Nonprofit to For-Profit
The rebrand followed a more significant structural change that happened five months earlier. In January 2026, CAQH converted from a nonprofit organization into a for-profit company owned by twelve shareholder organizations affiliated with the nation's largest health plans. Those shareholders include UnitedHealth Group, Aetna, Cigna, Elevance Health, Humana, Centene, and several Blue Cross Blue Shield plans.
This means the organization that holds credentialing data for the majority of clinicians in the country is now owned by the payers themselves. The company has stated that provider data will not be used differently and that the portal will remain free, but it is worth understanding the structure of what you are working with.
What You Should Do Right Now
Log into the portal at proview.caqh.org using your existing credentials. Confirm your profile is complete and that your attestation date has not lapsed. Check that your supporting documents, including your license and malpractice certificate, are current and clearly legible. Verify that your payer authorizations are still in place for each payer you work with.
If your attestation is coming up in the next 30 days, re-attest now rather than waiting. An expired attestation during an active credentialing process is one of the most common causes of application delays, and the name change has created enough confusion that some providers have missed their window.
What This Means for Your Credentialing
For the practical purposes of your credentialing applications, nothing is changing in the short term. Payers are still pulling your data from the same portal. The process for setting up a new profile, authorizing payers, uploading documents, and attesting is the same as it was before June 8.
We are monitoring any changes DataSpring announces that could affect provider credentialing timelines or requirements and will update our clients accordingly.
Should I Be Concerned About My Data
That is a reasonable question given the ownership change. DataSpring has stated publicly that provider data will continue to be used solely for credentialing and administrative purposes and that the portal will remain free. Provider advocacy groups and professional associations are actively monitoring the situation.
As a practical matter, the portal holds the same data it has always held, which payers have always had access to through the credentialing process. The ownership change is worth watching, but it does not change what you need to do operationally right now.
How TheraProfessional Handles DataSpring for Our Clients
We set up and manage the DataSpring Provider Data Portal profile for every client we work with, just as we managed CAQH ProView before the rebrand. We ensure your profile is complete, your documents are current, your payer authorizations are in place, and your attestation is active throughout the credentialing process.
