The Council on Affordable Quality Healthcare (CAQH) Index has launched its 2023 Medical Data Collection Tool. The CAQH Index is the only national effort tracking the costs and other trends in business interactions between medical and dental plans, providers, vendors and pharmacy benefit managers.

The CAQH Index also tracks and reports progress on the adoption of electronic administrative transactions and the potential savings associated with switching from manual to electronic transactions. By tracking progress and saving opportunities, the industry can more easily identify barriers that may be preventing providers and health plans from realizing the benefits of electronic transactions and prompt new initiatives to address and reduce those barriers.

All physicians are invited and encouraged to participate. Participation is voluntary and individual provider submissions and data will be kept confidential. The aggregate deidentified results and findings will be published in the 2023 CAQH Index Report.

Each participating provider who submits a survey will receive a $100 gift card along with a custom benchmark report with detailed comparisons between their performance and national results. The deadline to complete the 2023 CAQH Index survey is August 31, 2023.
