How Do You Obtain Your Credentialing?
While the pandemic isn’t over, rising vaccination rates mean that more people are feeling comfortable seeking out dental treatment, especially since most haven’t seen a dentist in at least a year. Which means you have an opportunity to help your practice grow. Being credentialed means gaining an in-network status with PPO providers, and our team of experts can help! Now is the perfect time to make these changes, and make your practice more attractive to potential patients.
The Enrollment and Credentialing Process
First, you need to enroll and then become credentialed. The credentialing process means filling out a thorough application, one that takes at least 40 hours to complete. If you make any mistakes, the process must be started over from the beginning, and once you start the application you must finish it. After successfully becoming credentialed, you will be in-network with a PPO insurance provider. At this point, they can recommend people with their coverage to your office, and you can let people know you accept their coverage on your website and on social media. Since people in your community now save money by seeing you, particularly with preventive and restorative treatments, they’re more likely to make an appointment with your team!
Should Your Practice Handle This Without Help?
That 40 hours we mentioned above is per application, which means for every company you want to be in-network with, that’s a 40 hour application. For some dental practices, this could mean looking forward to hundreds of hours of work to be in-network. Not to mention renewals and other aspects. Running a dental practice is a major undertaking, and every member of your team already has a full plate. Trying to handle this yourself could mean less focus on daily operations and on your patients. For that reason, we suggest those seeking to become credentialed start by talking to our team of experts!
