As per http://www.militarycredentialing.com the steps are as follows:
Steps to complete ARNG centralized credentialing:
Complete the online Council for Affordable Quality Healthcare (CAQH) Universal Application
- Log-on to https://upd.caqh.org/OAS/
- If you are logging on for the first time, click the Logging in for the first time link on the right side of the page, read the following page and click Next, insert the CAQH ProviderID number provided to you by MCS, and continue to complete the fields as they are presented to you.
- If you are a current or prior user of CAQH, use your existing log-on and password to enter the system and ensure that you have selected the United States Army National Guard as a plan.
- Complete the data fields and pass the CAQH Data Audit
- Attest to the accuracy of the information provided
- Select the ARNG as an authorized plan within CAQH
- The Documents tab of CAQH will show you which of your credentials have been forwarded to CAQH on your behalf by MCS. You will need to fax any remaining supporting documents to CAQH utilizing the CAQH-provided fax cover sheet.
- Once you have completed your CAQH application or reattested your existing application, MCS will contact you again regarding any remaining documents that are needed to complete your file to military standards.
- Once your CAQH application is completed and the requested documents have been submitted to MCS, your portion of this process will be complete.
The process takes a few hours to complete on your part. Then it will take weeks or longer to finish everything on the ARNG side, especially depending on additional needed paperwork.
