Wendell,
Don't apologize for screaming; I found you to be rather restrained. In particular, you were kind to say "saprophytic" (as opposed to "parasitic"). It would appear that Mr. Healthdetail works for another company, one in competition with Enclarity (it's called Healthdetail). More upfront acknowledgement of this might have been nice, though it is obvious from his profile. The two companies do the same thing, and make their money the same way. In fact, they both do what CAQH does. The difference? CAQH is a non-profit alliance; hence his attempt to denigrate CAQH's value. We have found CAQH to be rather helpful in reducing the incessant requests for information by the numerous insurance companies. They do however ask that you regularly go online and "re-attest" to the accuracy of your information, in direct contradiction to the claim by Mr. Healthdetail that their information is not updated often enough. I wonder how his company deals with this issue; I would assume that they contact you even more frequently, demanding that you verify your information, then charging others to provide your information.
