Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about opening or purchasing a dental practice.

Credentialing should ideally begin 90 to 120 days prior to your target opening date. Payer processing times vary between 60-120 days, so starting early prevents billing delays when you open your doors.

No. Insurance contracts are tied specifically to the entity (Tax ID / NPI) and individual provider. When purchasing a practice, you must either complete a change of ownership / re-assignment with each payer or re-credential under your new Tax ID.

Billing under a previous owner's Tax ID without explicit payer approval is considered non-compliant and can result in claim clawbacks or insurance fraud allegations. You must bill under your own verified Tax ID and NPI.

If your practice is already open, we expedite application preparation and submission immediately to minimize the out-of-network window. We can also advise on retroactive billing options where permitted by specific payers.

Most dental insurance credentialing applications take between 60 and 90 days to process, though some insurance networks may take up to 120 days. Our team actively follows up with payers weekly to accelerate the approval timeline.
