Do You Have Questions About PPO Credentialing?
In addition to providing exceptional treatment and services to patients and being highly attentive to their needs, dental practices need to take several steps to set themselves up for success. One of these includes becoming credentialed and in-network with the right PPO companies, which can help position your practice to receive optimal benefits and reimbursements for providing high-quality treatment to more patients. However, going through the credentialing application process can sometimes be more than a dental practice expects. Today, we answer a few common questions about PPO credentialing and why it’s important to optimize the process as much as you can.
Does every practice have to be credentialed?
Most successful dental practices are in-network with multiple different PPO insurance companies, and in most cases, the more networks they join, the greater the benefits they receive. This means it’s never a good idea to avoid seeking credentialing or procrastinate applying with the right companies. The key is to carefully analyze which networks will benefit you the most, and the soonest, and create a list of PPO companies to apply for in order of importance.
How many networks should you join?
When making your list of PPO networks to join, one of the biggest questions may be how many companies should you add to the list. You may not have a definitive answer yet, and the answer may change as your practice grows and you serve a broader range of patients. One of the most effective ways to develop a sustainable plan for seeking credentialing is to work with a PPO expert, or team of experts, who have experience in applying for and tracking PPO credentialing. You can benefit from a highly experienced team guiding your credentialing application process while minimizing the amount of time and effort you have to put into each application.
Where can you get help with the application process?
Getting help with PPO credentialing is becoming one of the most effective ways for dental practices to benefit from credentialing faster, and with more companies at a time. The right team of experts can handle every aspect of the application process for you, including submitting and tracking the application, while giving you constant and fully transparent updates into the application’s progress.
