Aetna evaluates health care providers’ qualifications based on:

• Certificates and licenses received
• Registration to practice
• Academic background and training
• An assessment of professional competence and conduct

We use the Council for Affordable Quality Healthcare (CAQH) Universal Provider Datasource^® for our credentialing process. If you are registered with CAQH, we will get your credentialing information from them. Just designate Aetna as authorized to access this information on your application.

If you have not previously registered with CAQH, you will receive a registration kit in the mail.
