Should I Be In-Network With Providers?
Now that March is here, a year has passed since dental practices across the country found themselves struggling through the pandemic, shutting down, partially opening, and now trying to encourage people to see them once again for care. Throughout the pandemic, offices both big and small have been looking for new ways to implement growth. Becoming credentialed and in-network with a PPO insurance provider is a great way to accomplish this, and our team of experts are ready to help!
The Value of Enrollment and Credentialing
When you enroll and become credentialed with a PPO provider, this means that you’re in-network with them. People who carry their coverage will be able to obtain more affordable treatment from you for everything from preventive checkups and cleanings to necessary fillings or crowns, and in some instances, even cosmetic care. The company will likely refer people to you, and those looking for more affordable treatment will be more likely to find you. The information can be added to your website as well, so people know exactly which companies you’re credentialed with, and if they will save money by visiting you for their oral health needs.
The Application Process
There is a thorough and often rigorous application process. This isn’t a form a few pages long, this is a process that on average, takes at least 40 hours to complete. A single wrong answer or skipped question then means starting over from the beginning, you cannot amend the form. In addition, the process must be finished once you start, and will need to be done for each individual company you want to be in-network with. Not to mention the need for renewals every few years!
