What Should You Expect From The Credentialing Process?
Have you ever heard about the credentialing process? Essentially, this is what is necessary to become in-network with one or more PPO insurance providers. By becoming in-network, you have a chance to obtain new patients and help your dental practice grow. In today’s blog, your team of PPO Experts is talking about this process, and why you may need assistance from our team!
Becoming Credentialed
The credentialing process can be a little more involved than you might suspect. First, you need to enroll with the company or companies you wish to be in-network with. Next, you will need to complete a very thorough application. This must be done for each company, and the application itself takes about 40 hours to finish on average. Not to mention the fact that a mistake means starting over, and that the document must be finished once you start it. For dental practices big and small, this could be quite a task to take on, especially if you hope to become credentialed with multiple PPO providers!
The Benefits of Your New In-Network Status
We don’t mention the difficulties to dissuade you from becoming in-network. Reaching this stage is very beneficial for a dental practice. You can update your website to let people know which coverage you accept, and the PPO providers themselves could refer people in your community to you. When people see you for their care, they save money, which gives you an edge over other dental offices in your area. This could help bring in new patients, which is a must for most offices. Throughout the pandemic, dental practices have had to limit how many people they can see, and for a time, what kind of procedures can be provided. Now is the time to build back up, and that begins with gaining an in-network status!
