When starting a new physical therapy practice, you’ll need to update your CAQH (Council for Affordable Quality Healthcare) profile and NPPES (National Plan & Provider Enumeration System) records. CAQH serves as a central repository for credentialing information used by insurance payers, while NPPES manages your National Provider Identifier (NPI). If you were previously affiliated with another practice, updating these records ensures continuity in payer enrollment and claims processing. Maintaining accurate data will help avoid credentialing delays and reimbursement issues.
