How Hard Is Credentialing for a Startup Practice?
With everything from business management and marketing, administrative processes, and more to handle – none of which were the focus of your dental health education – starting a dental practice can be confusing and scary.
On top of simultaneously running a business and maintaining a caring, patient-centered dental practice, you also have to apply for credentialing and negotiate fees with various insurance companies and Medicaid. Fortunately, you don’t have to handle all of it on your own. From answering questions to handling the entire credentialing process for you, we’re to help relieve some of the stress of getting your dental practice up and running.
What to Know About Credentialing
Before deciding whether to handle credentialing on your own, or to seek professional help to save yourself time and money, there are a few important points you should keep in mind. For example, during the credentialing process, you can expect to dedicate plenty of time to:
- Negotiating fees with every insurance provider
- Dedicating up to 40+ hours to reach full credentialing
- Repeating the credentialing process dozens of times
- Having to repeat the process if any mistakes or errors are made
How to Streamline the Process
The credentialing process can be intimidating even for well-established dental practices, but for new and startup practices, it can be even more difficult. While you focus on getting your practice started and establishing yourself among your patients, you can streamline the process of credentialing your practice by seeking help from a team of professionals. Our streamlined approach is informed by years of experience, and can help you save up to 30 days in cumulative time throughout the credentialing process.
