What is Dental Credentialing?

Dental credentialing is the process by which a dentist’s qualifications are verified and approved by insurance companies or healthcare organizations. It ensures that the dentist meets specific standards of education, experience, and professional competence before they are allowed to participate in an insurance network.

Key Components of Dental Credentialing:

1
Verification of Education and Training:
• Dental school degree (DDS or DMD)
• Postgraduate education or specialities, if any
2
License and Certifications:
• State dental license(s)
• DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration) registration
• CPR or BLS certification
3
WORK HISTORY REFERENCES:
• Employment history as a practicing dentist
• Professional references
4
Malpractice Insurance and Claims History:
• Proof of liability insurance
• Disclosure of any malpractice claims or disciplinary actions
5
Background Checks:
• Criminal history
• National Practitioner Data Bank (NPDB) report

Why Is Credentialing Important?

  • For Dentists: It allows them to join insurance provider networks (e.g., Delta Dental, Cigna), which can significantly expand their patient base.
  • For Patients: It assures patients that their dentist has been vetted for quality and safety.
  • For Insurance Companies: It minimizes risk and ensures compliance with regulations.

How Long Does It Take?

Credentialing typically takes 60–120 days, depending on how quickly the necessary documents are gathered and verified.
