Does Candor Health do credentialing?
No. Credentialing verifies a provider's licenses, training and history, and it is done by a credentials verification organization or credentialing software. Candor Health keeps the practice data that credentialing depends on accurate, and works with CertifyOS so the two run as one system.
The plain answer
Credentialing says who a provider is, and Candor Health says where they are and what they do today
Both touch the same provider, so the roles get mixed up. Here is the split.
-
01
What is credentialing, and who does it?
Verisys: Our storyCredentialing is primary source verification of a provider's licenses, education, training, work history and sanctions before a plan contracts with them or a hospital grants privileges. Verisys does it as an NCQA-accredited credentials verification organization. symplr and CertifyOS sell credentialing software. Atlas Systems PRIME runs credentialing and roster reconciliation as a service for payers. CAQH, now DataSpring, is where clinicians self-report their credentials once and re-attest every 120 days for the plans they authorize.

What does Candor Health do?
Candor Health: verified company informationCandor Health builds each provider record from 120,000+ sources and 4 billion+ claims a month and scores every field: practice locations, phone numbers, specialties, network participation and whether the provider is accepting new patients. It republishes the data daily and delivers it by API, flat files, MCP or a self-serve platform.

03
Where do the two meet?
CMS Online Provider Directory Review Report, Round 3Credentialing confirms a provider is qualified. It does not tell you where they practice this month, which phone number works or whether they are taking patients. Attested data goes stale between cycles, and CMS found at least one inaccuracy at 48.74% of the directory locations it checked. Candor Health fills the gap between attestations with evidence from claims and other sources.
