Seeking Help with Credentialing for PPO Insurance
The application process for becoming credentialed is something that most dental practices will have to endure sooner or later. It’s the best way to secure favorable positions with the PPO insurance companies that dental practices deal with most frequently, as well as with the government for Medicaid reimbursements. However, it’s also a daunting process, and whether you’ve already been through it or not, it’s a lot of time and effort that you might not look forward to expending.
Credentialing for a new practice
Seeking credentialing with a PPO insurance company as a brand-new dental practice may be the most challenging of all credentialing processes. The credentialing process is largely a negotiation, and as a brand-new practice, you may not have the experience, the network, or the standing to demand much. Fortunately, most PPO experts can provide that for you, boosting your position to secure more favorable rates, while also handling most of the credentialing process for you.
Credentialing for an expanding practice
It would be relieving if you only had to seek credentialing once in your practice’s lifetime. Unfortunately, that’s not usually the case for dental practices that last. Eventually, as your practice grows and you begin serving broader patient bases, your standing and needs will evolve, as well. At some point, revisiting the credentialing process can be a significant benefit to your practice. However, it won’t be any simpler. The process can still take months to complete, and require dozens of hours to fill out the all of the paperwork.
Credentialing for new locations
If you’re an established practice and want to add new locations to serve more patients, then credentialing for the new locations will be essential. Different regions come with different patients, different insurance carriers, and different needs altogether. Part of the acclimation process will be getting used to these new patient needs, and that includes singling out the most beneficial companies to seek credentialing with. This is also something a skilled team of PPO experts can help you with, to optimize the results as well as help save you time and resources in the process.
