3 Ways to Make Your Credentialing Application Less Stressful

Whether you’re a new or startup dental practice, or you’ve been operational for years and are credentialed with multiple PPO networks, the stress of applying for further credentialing can be unavoidable. It’s a long and arduous process no matter what company you’re applying with, and it has to be completed with the utmost care and attention to detail. The good news is that the stress doesn’t have to be overwhelming, and for most practices, it can be made less of a burden with help from a team of trusted PPO experts. 

1. Speak with peers who’ve completed it

One of the best ways to learn is from experience, and it doesn’t have to be your own. If you’ve never gone through the credentialing application process, then you won’t have any experience of your own to draw from. Speak with peers who already have to get a feel of what to expect, and to know what types of information you should gather beforehand. If you have completed the application before, then speaking with peers who’ve done it successfully might also give you insight into ways to manage the process more efficiently this time around. 

2. Be strategic about which networks you join

For optimal results, dental practices can benefit from being credentialed with multiple PPO networks, depending on which are most popular among their patients. However, you can only complete one application at a time, and even at that can be a daunting experience. Be strategic by analyzing which networks will benefit your practice most to be credentialed with, and then organize them by making the most beneficial one the first one you complete. 

3. Relegate the bulk of it to a trusted expert

One of the most effective ways to make PPO credentialing applications more efficient is to have help from a trusted expert to guide you through it. Unfortunately, PPO companies don’t provide that for you, though you can still gain access to that expertise by working with a team of trusted PPO credentialing experts. Not only can the team complete your top priority credentialing applications for you, but do so simultaneously so you can benefit from being credentialed with multiple companies much faster.
