Do I Need Help With Credentialing?
The process of being credentialed with one or more PPO insurance providers could provide a number of benefits for dental practices, helping them attract a new patient base. However, the process could be more involved than you may assume. In today’s blog, your team of PPO Experts will explain how we help with the credentialing process.
The Benefits of Being Credentialed
Right now, more and more people are making appointments to see the dentist and make up for lost time. Your practice has struggled with reduced services and patient numbers, but now is a time to once again watch your office grow. Being credentialed with a PPO insurance company means that you’re in-network. When someone with dental insurance wants treatment, the company could refer them to you, or you could let others know about your in-network status on your website or social media materials. Many become credentialed with multiple companies to further expand their patient base. Enrolling and becoming credentialed with one or more companies is a great way to gain new patients!
The Potential Strain on Your Team
To become credentialed, you need to fill out a special form. This sounds simple enough, and many dental practices assume the process can be handled by their team. While this is possible, it could be a huge strain on your team members’ time and resources. Did you know that each application takes an estimated 40 hours to complete? If you miss a question or get one wrong, you can’t amend the document, you have to start over from the beginning. The form must be completed when you start it as well. This goes for each company, and doesn’t include the need for renewals and other associated tasks. Since each member of your team has tasks necessary to keep your office running smoothly, and you’re going to be focused on your patients, so it makes sense that this task falls in the hands of the experts!
