Dental Provider Enrollment Services
From application to effective date — completely managed.
Provider enrollment is the gateway to in-network billing. Every day it takes is revenue deferred. Credentialing DDS offers a 10-business day application submission SLA and tracks every application to confirmed effective date.
What We Handle
Every step of provider enrollment. Nothing left to you.
Most practices underestimate how much goes into a proper enrollment. We manage every component — so the application is right the first time and doesn't come back rejected.
📋
CAQH Setup & Management
We set up or audit existing CAQH profiles — ensuring every field is complete, accurate, and consistent with payer expectations before a single application is submitted.
- New provider CAQH creation
- Existing profile audit and correction
- Quarterly re-attestation management
- Document upload and verification
📨
Application Preparation & Submission
Applications prepared and submitted to all applicable payers within 10 business days of CAQH completion. Each application is reviewed for accuracy before submission.
- All major dental payers
- State-specific requirements addressed
- Group and individual NPI enrollment

🔍
Tracking & Follow-Up
Every application is tracked from submission through effective date confirmation. We follow up with payers proactively — no waiting, no wondering about status.
- Application status monitored continuously
- Payer follow-up on delays

Payer Portal Setup
Once enrolled, payer portal access is established and maintained. Provider profiles are kept current so portals accurately reflect your active roster at all times.
- Portal access established at enrollment

Group & Facility Enrollment
New locations, new entities, ownership changes — each requires group-level enrollment separate from individual provider credentialing. We manage both simultaneously.

- Multi-location coordination

Common Questions
What practices ask us most about enrollment.
How long does provider enrollment typically take?
Payer timelines vary — typically 60 to 90 days from application submission to effective date. We submit as quickly as possible and follow up actively to minimize delays.
Can providers see patients before enrollment is complete?
Providers can treat patients before enrollment is complete, but claims will process at out-of-network rates until an effective date is established.
What if a provider already has a CAQH profile?
We audit it first. Incomplete or inaccurate CAQH profiles are among the most common causes of enrollment delays and rejections.
Do you handle enrollment for new graduates?
Yes. We handle first-time provider enrollment regularly — including NPI application assistance, CAQH creation, and full enrollment across all applicable payers.
