How we decide pass / flag / block
- 01Attestation must be re-signed within the prior 120 days to be considered current.
- 02Work-history gaps > 30 days must have an explanation field populated.
- 03Self-reported data is cross-referenced against NPDB and state board data; conflicts surface as discrepancies.

Refresh cadence
Real-time on attestation
CAQH pushes real-time updates when a provider re-attests. UPP also polls every 24h as a safety net.
Source-down handling
When the authority is unreachable
If a provider has not authorized UPP in their CAQH ProView roster, the credential is marked unverifiable via CAQH and the provider is prompted to grant access.
