United Healthcare is one of the largest health insurers in the country, and its dental plans reach patients through both employer group and Medicare Advantage coverage. Credentialing runs about 60-90 days and pulls from your CAQH profile. Re-credentialing is required every 3 years. We handle the full process from application through approval and track your renewal dates so you never accidentally drop out of network.
Start United Healthcare credentialingUnited Healthcare is one of the largest carriers in the US, with dental reaching patients through employer and Medicare Advantage plans. That scale means a meaningful share of your patients may carry United Healthcare dental. Being in-network keeps your practice accessible to them at their expected copay; out of network, many will choose a participating office instead.
United Healthcare credentialing runs 60-90 days with a standard process. Like most payers, United Healthcare pulls from CAQH ProView and verifies credentials through primary sources. The timeline is predictable when the application goes in clean. Most delays come from incomplete CAQH profiles, expired documents, or nobody following up on the application status.
Re-credentialing every 3 years is the part practices forget. The initial credentialing gets attention because it's blocking revenue. But three years later, the re-credentialing deadline arrives and nobody remembers. Miss it and your network status lapses. Claims start getting denied. We track every date for every provider.

Ori Bekerman, Founder
Built and scaled a multi-location dental organization. Every new provider meant credentialing with every payer at every location. The paperwork, follow-ups, and timeline tracking were never handled well in-house.
PracticeAlpha was built to fix that. Credentialing managed as a revenue-critical process, not background paperwork.
