In formation. No plan agreement is in place yet.
In network under your own name.
OAT Network is being formed as a national network of dental practices that treat obstructive sleep apnea with oral appliance therapy (OAT). Once a plan agrees and has your practice on file, you’re in network under your own name, and the plan pays you directly.
The network holds the agreement. Your practice stays the supplier.
- 01
You stay the supplier.
Your practice bills under its own NPI and its own tax ID, as it does today. Your patients and your charts stay yours.
- 02
One agreement per plan.
The network asks each health plan for a single in-network agreement that its member practices join, instead of one exception at a time.
- 03
Credentialed and loaded.
Each member is credentialed and loaded with the plan. No claim goes in network until the plan has your practice on file.
- 04
The plan pays you.
Claims go out under your name and the plan pays your practice directly. No payment passes through the network.
Built to keep every member clean with every plan.
- 01
Prices are yours.
Rates go through a messenger model. Each practice decides for itself, members never agree prices with one another, and the network never asks what you charge.
- 02
A fee is never a cut.
If the network charges a fee, it is flat and billed on its own, never a share taken out of what a plan pays you.
- 03
One billing partner.
Members bill their claims to the network’s contracted plans through the network’s designated billing partner, under their own NPI. It is a condition of membership, so every in-network claim meets the network’s standards.
- 04
One claim per service.
A service is billed once, under the practice that gave it. Money paid in error goes back to the plan within sixty days.
- 05
No referral money.
Nothing is paid for a referral, for a patient sent or for a case.
Practices that already fit oral appliances.
- Dental practices that fit custom oral appliances for obstructive sleep apnea
- A licensed dentist, and the practice’s own NPI and tax ID
- Ready for the credentialing each plan asks of a supplier
- Any state where member practices treat patients
Confirm your practice’s intent.
Each practice that confirms tells a plan the network speaks for real offices in its states. Confirming is not a contract: it binds your practice to nothing, and you can withdraw it at any time.
It never asks what you charge. A plan is given your practice’s name only if you tick the box that allows it.
Every practice has its own link. Enter the NPI your practice bills under and it is emailed to you. The same link changes or withdraws it.
