Discovered Organizations

The discovered organization is a template of a real organization pre-created by CAQH on the organization's behalf. The CAQH administrator can also register endpoints for such a discovered organization. Such endpoints are also considered discovered and displayed in the Directory on a separate tab Discovered Endpoints.

After a real organization that is represented by the discovered organization subscribes to the CAQH Endpoint Directory, this organization can claim its representation – discovered organization as well as its discovered endpoints. This means to request the discovered organization and its endpoints deletion.

Note that after you, as a real organization, claim a discovered organization or an endpoint and your claim is approved by CAQH, the discovered organization will be removed with all the information and endpoints from the CAQH Endpoint Directory. In this case, you should register endpoints once again for your real organization.

All the discovered organizations are displayed in the Directory on a separate tab Discovered Organizations.

The following section demonstrates a step-by-step scenario on how to claim a discovered organization that was pre-created for your organization by a CAQH administrator on your behalf.

  1. Go to https://endpointdirectory.caqh.org and click Sign Up to create a Smart Trading account.
  2. Contact a CAQH administrator to enable the CAQH Endpoint Directory subscription for your organization account.
  3. Sign in to the CAQH Endpoint Directory.
  4. On the Organization Profile page, enter information on your organization and send your organization profile for review.
  5. After your organization profile is approved and published to the Directory, in the Directory, click Discovered Organizations.
  6. In the Directory: Organizations section, on the Discovered Organizations tab, select a discovered organization that was pre-created for you by a CAQH administrator.
  7. In this discovered organization's pane, click Claim Organization.

    Note If the claim is being processed for a specific endpoint, the Claim Organization button remains disabled till the claim is rejected.

  8. In the Claim Organization dialog, in Comment(s), enter your comments or any information required to justify your claim, and then click Submit. A request to claim your discovered organization is sent.

    When a CAQH administrator has identified you as the organization for which the discovered organization/endpoint was created and approved your claim, this discovered organization/enpdoint is removed from the discovered organizations/endpoints' sections. And only your real organization remains in the Directory.
