URAC Data Validation: Preparing for the 2025 Reporting Season

The 2025 URAC reporting season is officially underway. To ensure your organization starts off on the right foot, it’s critical to begin the URAC data validation process promptly and accurately.

Here's what you need to know:

1. Check for Your Portal Fee Notification

By mid-April, URAC typically sends out email notifications regarding portal access fees. If you haven’t received this communication, we recommend reaching out to your URAC account manager immediately. Access to the portal is essential for uploading your documentation and ensuring timely submission.

2. Log into Accredinet

Ensure you’ve logged into the Accredinet platform to download the latest documentation and technical specifications. These materials are updated each year and are crucial for proper data formatting and submission compliance.

3. Activate Your Portal

Having an active portal is the foundation of a smooth submission process. Double-check that your access is current and all relevant users within your team have the appropriate credentials.

4. Download All Updated Specifications

URAC updates its data submission guidelines regularly. Be sure to download and review the most recent specifications to avoid rework and potential delays due to non-compliance.

Conclusion

Why Early Preparation Matters Timely validation and accurate data submissions not only ensure compliance with URAC standards but also support your accreditation goals and reflect your organization’s commitment to quality care. Delays in preparation can result in technical issues, misaligned data formatting, and potential late submission penalties.
