Taking Some of the Stress Out of PPO Credentialing
Applying for PPO credentialing is a stressful process, especially if you take it upon yourself to do it alone. For new dental practices seeking credentialing for the first time, it can be enough stress to interrupt almost every other part of the practice’s daily operation. For practices who’ve already completed the process once before, the mere prospect of revisiting it again can cause enough stress before it even starts. Fortunately, there’s a way to substantially reduce the stress you have to endure throughout the credentialing process – by working with a team of experts who can handle most of it for you.
The time you have to invest in the process
One of the most stressful things about the credentialing process is the sheer amount of time it takes to complete it. The paperwork alone can take more than 40 hours to thoroughly fill out, and the entire process may last for several months. During this time, you can have a trusted team of experts handle the paperwork while you continue serving patients and efficiently running your practice. By the end of it, you will have not only saved time, but also reduced the level of stress you and your staff have had to endure throughout it.
The attention to detail that takes all of your focus
Simply filling out lines in paperwork isn’t the only thing it takes to complete a PPO credentialing application. Everything must be properly and accurately completed, or the application may be denied or rejected by the insurance company. Fortunately, being experts means that your team of professionals know this, and have the experience to ensure that your application is filled out precisely, with relevant, accurate, and up-to-date information.
The multiple applications you need to stay competitive
The point of seeking credentialing with an insurance company is to secure a better position and higher reimbursements for patients you treat under their banner. To gain the greatest advantage, practices should seek credentialing with all of the companies they interact with most often (including Medicaid). Every application is a separate process, though, and doing it yourself would mean repeating the process multiple times. However, with a trusted team of PPO experts, you can complete several different applications, with several different insurance companies, all at once.
