Could You Use Help with PPO Credentialing?
Applying for credentialing with one or more PPO companies is something that dental practices will have to face at different points throughout their existence. Whether it’s the first time you’re seeking credentialing for your practice, or the application is part of a bigger plan to expand your practice or add new locations, the process itself can be somewhat disruptive if you aren’t fully prepared for it. Fortunately, that preparation can often include seeking help with the credentialing application process from an expert or team of experts who can help streamline the application process for you.
Making it easier to build a new practice
Becoming credentialed with a PPO company and/or Medicaid can be one of the most stressful application processes, mainly because it may be the first time that your practice has had to deal with the process. That includes accommodating the time and effort that it will take to complete the process, which can total more than 40 hours’ worth of paperwork and up to several months of processing. In addition to everything else involved with opening your new practice, this can become a lot more of a burden than new practices expect. For many of them, seeking help from a team of PPO experts is essential to benefiting from credentialing without making it harder to open for business.
Reducing the stress of expanding your practice
Expanding your practice means gaining the ability to serve a larger number, and greater variety, of patients in your community. With this increase may come a change in the dynamics of your patient base, including which insurance plans you see more of in your office. Part of your expansion plan should include analyzing this new dynamic and, if applicable, seeking credentialing with one or more additional PPO companies. Having a team of experts to help you with this analyzation and with multiple application processes at once can help make the process significantly more efficient.
Improving the position of new locations
If expanding your practice means adding new locations in different areas, then the need to seek additional credentialing is certain. Each practice location will need to be properly credentialed with the appropriate PPO companies and Medicaid, and each application will be as time-consuming and cumbersome as your initial credentialing application. Successfully completing multiple credentialing applications at once will be key to securing favorable positions for each location as soon as possible. This is only possible with the help of a team of experienced professionals streamlining the application process for you.
