Payer Considerations for Dentistry
Dentistry providers must enroll individually with each payer. Medicare enrollment through PECOS is required for all providers billing Medicare. Medicaid enrollment is state-specific. Commercial payer enrollment timelines typically range 60–120 days from submission.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does dentistry credentialing take?
Dentistry credentialing timelines follow the standard payer schedules: Medicare (30–90 days), Medicaid (varies by state, 30–180 days), commercial payers (60–120 days). Starting at least 90–120 days before you need to bill insurance is recommended.
Does each dentistry provider in a group need to enroll separately?
Yes. Each individual provider must complete their own enrollment with each payer. The group or practice entity also enrolls separately. Both are typically required to bill insurance.
