Let’s Help Your Practice Thrive With Credentialing
Whether you’re a small or large dental practice, you could be experiencing an influx of new patients. After all, for the past year many practices were limited in the care they could offer, often only providing necessary restorations and preventive checkups and cleanings. Now, people are vaccinated and feeling more confident. To further encourage this growth, your dental practice could become credentialed and in-network with one or more PPO companies. But what does this process actually involve? Should you seek help from a team of experts or handle it yourself?
Being In-Network
When you’re in-network with a PPO insurance provider, this means that when people seek dentalcare in their community and carry this company’s coverage, they will look to them for referrals. You’re likely to be that referral, helping you attract new business. After all, when they seek you,this saves them money! You could also list this company on the insurance and financing pages of your website, and your office staff could let people know when they call or email that you accepttheir coverage. This process is key to encouraging growth, and is the reason many become in-network with multiple providers!
The Credentialing Process
However, the road to being credentialed isn’t an easy one. For example, once you enroll and start the application, you must finish it. In addition, a single wrong answer or a skipped question means you can’t amend the application, you must start over from the beginning. Finally, the application itself takes about 40 hours to complete, and that’s with no mistakes! Not to mention, that would be 40 hours per company you wish to become credentialed with, and doesn’t includerenewals and other issues down the road. Simply put, this is a major strain for the office staff of a large practice, not to mention smaller dental offices. However, we could help!
