CAQH: a recredentialing Blunderbus Used by Humana; BCBSNC; Smoky Mountain Center/ Centerpointe

Somebody must have bought CAQH about 8 months ago.  They created a monster that providers must deal with---yet another barrier to patient care.  I gave up months ago trying to figure out how to 'Attest' and so lost my recredentialing w / BCBSNC.  I never knew until one day I didn't get paid.  So, I called them up and said, HEY: I don't want to fill out 30 more pages of paperwork AGAIN.  They didn't care. 

CAQH was SUPPOSEDLY created to make credentialing/ recredentialing easier.  All it is ---is a pain in the arse.

I get stupid emails from people at  CAQH telling me things that I already took care of....as is clearly seen on the CAQH "Proview" (warning: oxymoron) webpage.  Like I didn't put in my liability insurance company, policy number, and dates of coverage.  I did. 

Then they ask you to electronically sign---then they tell you that you cannot electronically sign.  So, I used the "tool" to scrawl my signature, which is now unrecognizable.  I guess that's an "authentic" improvement.

If this does not work I am going to print out the blasted forms and mail them to the agencies.

Now, I wait for them to tell me I did it wrong again.  I cannot "Attest" though everything appears complete.  They have to yet again look over the "fill in the blank" forms associated with: Humana/ BCBSNC/ Smoky/ Centerpointe.  Godalmighty: did Smoky Mountain Center LME / MCO join forces with the black forces of Centerpointe? (see previous Madame Defarge posts).

What a world.  Endless barriers to care.  Massive workloads for providers that have no relationship to providing patient care. 

I told CAQH in a closing paragraph to my e mail that I did not know who wrote their crummy software----the insurance industries?----but they should send them back to computer school.

What a freaking mess. 

HELLO BERNIE SANDERS: ONE PAYER SYSTEM PLEASE. MAIME AND DESTROY THE PRIVATE INSURANCE INDUSTRY PLEASE.  HEALTH CARE SHOULD NOT BE LEFT UP TO THESE MALFEASANT IDIOTS WHO CREATE BARRIERS TO HEALTHCARE.
