Questions About Credentialing? We Can Answer Them for You!
As a dental practice, applying for credentialing with multiple PPO insurance companies is one of the most significant things you can do, for both your practice and your patients. However, it can also be one of the most intensive processes you can go through, whether it’s your first time doing it or you’ve already gone through the process multiple times before. Today, we answer a few frequently asked questions about PPO credentialing for dental practices of any size.
Do you need to seek credentialing again if you already have it?
For dental practices that have already gone through the credentialing process, one of the most frequent questions is how can they avoid having to go through it again. Refusing to is always an option, but it isn’t one that benefits your practice in any way. In fact, being credentialed with the right companies is essential to securing the best rates for reimbursements. As your practice grows, it may be a good idea to revisit the credentialing process, or apply with another company, to meet your practice’s evolving needs.
What if it’s your first time going through the process?
If you haven’t gone through the credentialing process with any insurance company yet, then you may be full of questions about what to expect, what you’ll need, who you can turn to for help, etc. Because every application is different, the best way to prepare is to speak with an expert who has vast experience going through the entire process. You’ll not only get a better idea of what the process has in store for you, but can also make the process much easier on yourself by working with the expert throughout it.
How do you know if outsourcing is a good idea?
Given the vast amount of time and attention to detail that’s necessary for every credentialing application, it’s almost always a good idea to consider outsourcing the application process to an expert, or team of experts. The level of experience that a PPO expert can bring can help ensure that you don’t miss any important part of the application, and that every line is filled out accurately and precisely. Most importantly, you can continue focusing on your practice’s day-to-day necessities while your expert team seeks the most favorable credentialing position for your practice.
