Credentialing & network participation · Dental groups
Keep every dentist and hygienist billable on every plan.
A CAQH attestation goes 120 days unrefreshed and the payer loses access to the provider's profile. Re-credentialing freezes, par status drops, and claims start denying as non-par.
The reality
Credentialing is a deadline problem.
CAQH ProView attestations come due every 120 days, state dental licenses and malpractice COIs expire on their own clocks, and each payer — Delta Dental, Cigna, MetLife — runs its own re-credentialing cycle, typically every two to three years. Let an attestation lapse and the payer can no longer pull the provider's profile; re-credentialing freezes and the provider's par status is at risk.
The operator tracks every credential and every payer enrollment for every provider, re-attests CAQH and refreshes the expiring documents before they lapse, chases CAQH and payer portals through approval, and tells billing the moment a provider's par status changes.
