Credentialing Services Simplified
“My husband and I acquired two dental practices that were on the verge of collapse due to years of neglect …
My first order of business was to establish Dr. Keys as an in-network provider with a handful of insurance carriers. I quickly found Dental ClaimSupport ... it was the best decision we have made to date.
A process that has taken little more than 90 days would have otherwise taken six or nine months ... Not to mention it was painless and affordable.
When cash flow is critical to the success of your practice — you can't put a price on that kind of service.
I would highly recommend Shannon and DCS ... You will not be disappointed.”

Our friendly credentialing experts fully manage the credentialing process for you! We work with provider relations departments so you can focus on patient care.
Credentialing should take place prior to the doctor’s start date. Any patients seen prior to the doctor’s effective date will be considered “out of network.”
The credentialing timeline takes 30-120 days, depending on the insurance company.
Single providers needing PPO credentialing for each insurance.
Multiple providers needing PPO credentialing for each insurance.
Multiple locations needing PPO credentialing for each insurance.
Credentialing can take anywhere from 30-60 days with all information submitted correctly. Due to COVID, many insurance companies can take up to 12 weeks to fully credential a provider.
No, credentialing is not a one-time task. You are initially credentialed, and then every 2- 3 years (depending on the insurance company), you will need to be re-credentialed.
Once you are fully credentialed with an insurance company, you'll receive a welcome letter which will include your fee schedule. Some insurance companies will mail the welcome letter and fee schedule, others will email it.
