What You’ll Need When Pursuing Insurance Credentialing

As with all things, the best way for dental practices to get through PPO insurance and Medicaid credentialing processes is to prepare for them properly.

Even established practices that have already gone through the process before, preparing to go through it all over again can be daunting. New practices that aren’t quite sure what to expect might find it even more so. Today, we look at a few key things every dental practice needs to make pursuing insurance and Medicaid credentialing less of a hassle.

Preparation

On average, the credentialing process can include meticulously filling out dozens of pages of paperwork. Every line must be accurate and precise, so prepare to have all of the relevant practice information you’ll need to fill them out correctly. If you don’t know what information you’ll need, speak with one of our experts about you can expect during the credentialing process.

Time

Overall, the credentialing process can take 3-6 months, with a total of more than 40 hours, for each application. Be willing to dedicate the time necessary to ensure that the process is successful and each application is given the attention it needs, or you may have to repeat the process due to errors within the application.
