Important Things to Keep in Mind About PPO Credentialing

For many dental practices of all sizes, being credentialed with Medicaid and the right PPO insurance companies can be an essential advantage. However, it can also be an incredible burden on a dental practice, especially one that’s new to the entire process. Before you begin the PPO credentialing application process, it’s important to know what to expect, and how to optimize your chances of coming out on top. 

You don’t have to take it all on alone

One of the most important things to know about the credentialing application process is that it takes a lot, both in time and in attention. For example, the application can take a total of more than 40 hours to complete fully and accurately, and it can take months for the process to be complete. Fortunately, it isn’t a process that you have to complete on your own. In fact, more dental practice owners are taking advantage of third-party expertise by working with trusted PPO experts who can handle the bulk of the application process for them. 

You may need to do it again in the future

There’s a great sense of relief that comes with completing the credentialing application process and being officially credentialed with the PPO company of your choice. Yet, it’s important to keep in mind that it may not be the last time you have to go through the process. As your practice grows and serves an increasingly broader base of patients, you can gain a more favorable position with the companies you’re credentialed with, or benefit from applying for credentialing with other companies. 

You shouldn’t put it off too much longer

Knowing that you can make the credentialing application process easier with the help of a team of experts can make it less stressful knowing that you may have to repeat the process. It can also motivate you to get started applying for credentialing sooner, and enjoy the benefits much faster. With the right team of PPO experts, you can even complete multiple credentialing applications at once, and within the same time frame, to optimize your practice’s revenue stream.
