Is DataSpring still free for providers?
Yes, as of September 22, 2026. CAQH became a for-profit company in January 2026 and rebranded as DataSpring on June 8. ADA News reported on June 10 that it is owned by 12 health-plan-affiliated shareholder companies, that the ADA Credentialing Service remains free with “no interruption in service,” and that the ADA will “hold the company to its agreement” to keep it free. We found no announced fee, attestation or data-access change for providers.
What to do: nothing yet. Practices, and the credentialing services that maintain their profiles, should watch attestation and data-sharing terms under payer ownership.
