Frequently Asked Questions

For Primary Practice Location, please select the state that you will be practicing in. If you are already on CAQH, please change the Primary Practice Location to MD, DC or VA (whichever center applies) because if you list your current state (ex: GA or MA) they have different applications.

For your primary, practice please put down the Kaiser location where you will be working. You may click “import” then select your center from the drop down list; the information will be automatically populated. However, if your current practice uses the CAQH website, then do not change your primary practice location to reflect Kaiser, until closer to your final days with them.

If this is the case, then please put down Kaiser as your primary practice, and your current place of employment in the practice history section.

Remember your CAQH app needs to be completed at least 6 week before your start date. You have to have a State license in order to begin the process (you can put either “Pending or N/A” for the license number and then put the License issuing state as either MD, DC or VA and then make up an expiration date (ex: 01/01/2012); you will be able to modify the document once your license is issued)

Please contact your recruiter to determine which location you will primarily be based out of.
