Dental Credentialing, PPOs, and Fee Schedules

Course Description:

Understanding dental PPO plans can be confusing!  Do you struggle with working through the PPO provider credentialing maze or temporary provider maze? Most PPO plans require provider credentialing per practice location and failure to do so may result in out of network coverage for your patients.  Explore all the details about PPO fee schedules and why they are important to the financial health of your practice.  Learn what three questions will tell you if being in-network is financially worthwhile to your practice. 

Course Objectives:

After the course attendees will:

  1. Know the importance of maintaining an accurate fee schedule to implement properly into your dental practice management software
  2. Share with the dental team how showing the PPO discount when presenting treatment is helpful for patient case acceptance
  3. Determine if being an in-network provider is profitable to your practice
