How Credentialing Is Different When You’re Already Established

A lot of things get easier the more experience you have. Now that your dental practice has been established for a while, you might expect that to include the process of applying for credentialing with a new insurance company, or revisiting existing agreements with the companies you already work with.

Knowing what to expect can make the process less stressful and easier to prepare for. However, the process itself still takes a lot of time, effort, and dedication, and even as an experienced dental practice, it pays to have a team of experts handle the bulk of it for you.

You’re working with new insurance companies

As your practice has grown and you’ve taken on an increasingly wider variety of patients, you may find a particular insurance company is popular among many of them, but that you aren’t in-network with. Seeking credentialing can be a good move for your practice and for your patients, and because you’re already established, you have much higher chances of negotiating favorable rates. However, experience as a dental practice is no guarantee, so choose a team of experts that can help you secure the most beneficial fees.

You’re renegotiating from a better position

Time may also have brought your practice plenty of additional patients under one or more of the companies you’re already credentialed with. If you worked with a team of credentialing experts previously, then that growth is almost certain. Serving more patients who are covered by the same insurance company can give you more leverage to negotiate better fees, which may require you revisit the credentialing process.

You’re savvy enough to get expert help

If you worked with a team of experts for your initial credentialing efforts, then you’ll already know that doing so again is the best way to streamline the process while also ensuring optimal results. Your team can handle the bulk of the credentialing application process while you continue to serve patients and run your practice’s day-to-day business.
