1.1
Introduction
Overview
The Extract Guideline document is a compliation of instructions and documentation for Participating
Organizations to set up and retrieve extracts from the CAQH ProView system (formerly Universal Provider
Datasource, UPD). This document will explain multiple types of extract options including standard, custom
and sanctions.
An extract is a file that contains the latest attested data for every provider associated with a Participating
Organization. The data can be requested in various formats (e.g: ASCII, XML and Application Replica PDF).
The delivery of the data is based on the schedule set up by the Participating Organization in the system.
In addition to provider’s latest self-attested information, CAQH ProView also can provide sanctions data
associated with a provider to the Participating Organizations’ through the Sanctions Extract. This option is
available for an additional fee.
1.2
Purpose
This document is intended to serve as a reference for data layout, field definitions, naming standards and
all other information pertinent to the dissemination of provider information through various CAQH ProView
extracts.
1.3
Target Audience
This document is intended for developers, data stewards, operational and technical staff or any other user
involved in the exchange of data between CAQH ProView and its Participating Organizations.
2
Extract Submission
Extract requests can be established in CAQH ProView through the Participating Organization portal or by
using the extract web service.
2.1
Using Participating Organization User Interface
The Participating Organization user interface in CAQH ProView will have a screen to schedule extracts.
The extract submission screen will let the users define the extract contents, frequency and format.
2.2
Using Extract Services
The Participating Organization can also trigger custom extracts through the Custom Extract Generator
Service. Please refer to the CAQH ProView Webservices Specifications document for more details.

Extract Retrieval
3
Both standard and custom extracts can be retrieved from the Participating Organization’s “Outgoing” FTP
folder. The naming standards for each type of extract are outlined in the following sections.
Extract Types
4
4.1
Standard Extract
Standard Extracts contain the latest attested data for providers who have attested since the last extract
run. It also includes a file that highlights the changes since the last attestation and a list of data elements
that changed value along with their previous and current values.
Participating Organizations can create a standard extract by selecting the format of extract, extract
frequency, and the sections required in each extract. They can also choose to include supporting
documentation with their extracts. Supporting documentation will be a separate zip file that contains all
the supporting documentation associated with all providers in the extract. The naming convention for
these files will allow the Participating Organization to distinguish the supporting documents for each
provider. Standard extracts can be scheduled to run immediately, at a later time, or on a recurring
schedule.
4.2
Custom Extract
Custom extracts include the latest attested data for a provider, but allow Participating Organizations to
customize the sections required in each extract. Custom extracts also let users filter data by Plan Provider
IDs or CAQH Provider IDs. In CAQH ProView, custom extracts can also be scheduled to run immediately,
at a later time, or on a recurring schedule.

Sanctions Extract
CAQH SanctionsTrak is a centralized data collection process of querying national and state boards for
sanctions data and loading this data to CAQH ProView. Sanctions are matched to unique providers
within CAQH ProView. Participating Organizations can request this sanctions data through the CAQH
ProView portal.
6.1
Sanctions Standard Extract
Sanctions Standard Extract can be scheduled to run on a recurring basis by the POs. The standard
extract will contain additions and updates to sanctions since the last standard extract. When new
sanctions are added or updates are made to existing sanctions for a provider, they will be reported on the

purchased the sanctions module of CAQH ProView)
6.2
Sanctions Custom Extract
Sanctions Custom Extracts are ad hoc reports based on the most current Sanction data CAQH ProView
has for a provider.The sanctions custom extract will be generated based on the criteria provided by a
Participating Organization (if the Participating Organization has purchased the sanctions module of
CAQH ProView).
6.3
Sanctions Extract Format
The sanctions extract will be delivered in a pipe-delimited text file. In addition, a PDF attachment will be
available for each sanction if supplied by the sanction vendor. The PDF file can be linked to the provider
in the pipe-delimited text file using the naming convention detailed below. In addition, the provider record
in the ASCII file will contain the name of the PDF file that corresponds to the provider’s sanction image.

ASCII and XML will be honored.
