How Does Credentialing Help A Dental Practice?
As a dental practice, you’re always looking for new ways to attract patients and help your office grow. You strive to offer quality care, embrace new technologies, and maintain a good marketing plan. But you may be ignoring another major way to bring in new patients: Becoming in-network with PPO insurance providers. In today’s blog, your PPO Experts explain how being credentialed could help your office!
The Value of Being In-Network
When you enroll and complete the credentialing process, you’re now in-network with a PPO insurance provider. Which means that when someone with this coverage needs care, they can come to your office and save substantial amounts of money on treatment. Crucial preventive treatments will be covered completely, and restorative, prosthetic, and even cosmetic treatments will be discounted. The company itself could refer people to you, and you could let people know that you’re in-network on your website or social media. Since people save money seeking care, that gives you an advantage over other practices in your community.
The Application Form
The credentialing process is necessary to reach this status, but could be tough for your practice to handle on your own. The application itself must be completed once started, and a single wrong answer missed question could mean starting over from the beginning, you cannot amend the document. On average, it takes about 40 hours to complete, and this doesn’t include renewals down the road. If you want to be in-network with multiple PPO providers, then this could mean several applications. Your team could be looking at a workload of 80, 120, or even more hours.
