Could Your Practice Use Help with PPO Credentialing?
Once a dental practice has secured credentialing with multiple PPO companies, the advantage of being credentialed becomes obvious. However, the first time a dental practice goes through the process, it can often prove more demanding and daunting than the average practice expects. While some dental practices might not be fully prepared for it, they can make the process a lot easier on themselves by seeking help from a highly experienced team of PPO experts.
If you don’t have the experience
Lack of experience in the process can be one of the most significant challenges to facing the credentialing application. It’s important to be aware that it can take 40 or more hours to complete the application, and you must be diligent over the next few weeks or months tracking the application’s progress. When you work with a team of PPO experts, your team can handle the bulk of the process on your behalf, including carefully ensuring that the application is completely and accurately filled out before submitting it.
If you want a better negotiating position
When you seek credentialing with any PPO company, you’ll have to negotiate the position you think is best for your practice’s financial future. This position can be relatively weak for dental practices who face the process alone, especially when it’s their first time. However, working with a team of PPO experts grants a dental practice the expertise and experience of a team of professionals, as well as a stronger position at the negotiating table to improve your chances of securing a more favorable position.
If you want to save your in-house team time
The time that it takes to complete the credentialing application process is the biggest burden that it can place on most dental practices. Without a third-party expert or team of experts to handle the process, dentists and their teams have to absorb the process into their day-to-day operations. This leaves less time to properly pay attention to and care for patients, or handle daily administrative tasks for the practice. Working with a team of PPO experts will help your practice avoid this burden, and rest assured that the credentialing process is being handled with the utmost care.
