Looking for an Easy Way to Cross-Recruit Providers to a PPO Network?
Many payers struggle with encouraging providers to contract with a PPO network and accept a lower fee schedule. But smart dental network recruiting tools can help you meet every challenge in network development and management. The NDM is specially-designed to help you find the right providers: Leverage the largest dental database, DentaBase®, to search by dentist behavior, location, fee acceptance and more. Build the ideal network with the Network Development Module in these 5 easy steps:
- Develop your recruitment list by identifying providers currently accepting Premier network-only.
- Review each provider’s accepted fees to further segment and target those that will accept a PPO fee schedule.
- Identify whether or not the provider is participating in other commercial PPO networks.
- Ensure you’re only targeting providers at active/confirmed locations based on our claims data and provider file updated each month.
- Clean your target list by including only dentists with utilization behavior that fits your network standards.
