CAQH seeks dental providers for 2025 index

Survey tracks adoption of electronic administrative transactions

The Council for Affordable Quality Healthcare, the health care industry alliance better known as CAQH, is calling for dental providers to participate in the 2025 CAQH Index.

The CAQH Index is the only industry benchmarking tool that tracks and reports progress on the adoption of electronic administrative transactions and the possible savings associated with making the switch from manual.

The 2024 CAQH Index Report showed dental spending on administrative processes increased in 2023, as dental providers and staff handled a higher volume of both manual and electronic tasks that cost more to complete. The largest increase in administrative spending in the dental industry came from eligibility and benefit verification spending, which increased by 15% to $2.1 billion.

The deadline for participating in the 2025 index is Aug. 15. Responding providers receive a $75 gift card for participating and a personalized benchmark report that compares their data with national averages. Providers can complete the survey online or through a form that can be emailed to insights@caqh.org.
