Credentialing

Credentialing is easy to treat as a one-time setup task, until a re-credentialing date is missed and a provider quietly falls out-of-network — and every claim submitted after that point denies. Most credentialing problems aren't hard to solve; they're just easy to lose track of across CAQH attestation cycles, multiple payers, and multiple providers.

What's included

• CAQH profile setup & maintenance. Creating and keeping CAQH profiles current, including staying on top of the required attestation cycle so a lapsed attestation doesn't stall enrollment.
• Insurance panel applications. Enrolling new providers and new practice locations with dental and medical insurance payors.
• Re-credentialing. Tracking expiration dates and re-submitting paperwork before a provider falls out-of-network — not after.
• Payer follow-up. Ongoing status checks with insurance companies until enrollment is actually confirmed, not just submitted.

How it works

Credentialing runs as a tracked, ongoing process rather than a one-off task: every provider's CAQH status, panel applications, and re-credentialing dates are monitored so nothing expires quietly. Onboarding typically takes 3 to 5 business days to gather current provider and practice information, and work with payers begins right away.

Why practices choose DCP for credentialing

Expired credentialing is one of the most preventable sources of denied claims, and preventing it just requires someone actually tracking the dates and following up with payers — which is what this service is built to do. It runs month-to-month with no long-term contract, for practices onboarding new providers, opening new locations, or just tired of finding out about a lapse after claims start denying.
