Being Credentialed In 2022
With a new year on the way, many dental offices are thinking about changes they can implement to help their office grow. From new marketing plans to adding new technologies, there are a lot of possibilities. But one way to encourage growth is to become credentialed, which offers you an in-network status with PPO companies. In today’s blog, our PPO Experts talk about this process.
A New Year Means New Opportunities
As a dental office, you’ve had a number of challenges in the previous year and a half. With the pandemic came limits on what kind of treatments you could provide, and limits on how many people you could see in a day to help control the spread of COVID-19. Vaccination rates are rising and many people are trying to make up for lost time, and that includes overdue dental visits. Which means finding ways to let people know about your practice and your services is crucial to take advantage of the influx. By being in-network, you can open yourself to a new stream of patients.
The Value of Your In-Network Status
When you’re in-network with a PPO insurance provider, this means that the people carrying their services save a lot of money when they see you for preventive, restorative, and prosthetic care. Some plans even offer discounts on certain cosmetic procedures. These providers could recommend people to your office, and you can let the world know about the plans you accept on your website. If someone has a choice between practices in your community, they’ll likely opt for the one that saves them money!
The Credentialing Application
To reach this status, you need to enroll with these companies and for each one, complete an application form. While this sounds easy, the process can be quite challenging, as each application takes about 40 hours to finish, and a single wrong answer means starting over from the beginning. This could strain your team members’ time and resources. However, if you work with our team of experts, we can complete these applications, saving you hours of work and letting you focus on the day-to-day actions needed to keep your practice running smoothly and ensuring your patients obtain quality care.
