To start, we have conversations with the healthcare provider and their practice administrator to determine the client base’s demographics they wish to serve and the types of dental or medical services they provide. After understanding their practice’s goals, we make recommendations from a list of insurance carriers for becoming participating providers, but the healthcare provider ultimately decides whether to accept or reject an offer. Our credentialing process begins by gathering all the healthcare professionals’ educational and reference credentials and ensuring that the practice meets all requirements to be accepted by a wide range of insurance plans.
