How to Get Credentialed with Dental Network of America in Illinois

Dental Network of America: PPO and managed dental networks (affiliated with HCSC/BCBS). This is an HCSC/BCBS home state — DNoA network participation may overlap with BCBS dental benefits. Providers enrolled with the local BCBS plan may already have DNoA access. Apply via DNoA provider portal or through affiliated BCBS plan. Uses CAQH ProView. Processing typically 30-60 days. State licensing: Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation issues DDS/DMD licenses. Dental hygienists (RDH) may credential separately. State note: Accepts CDCA or ADEX clinical exam. Public aid dental program enrollment separate from commercial payer enrollment. Subsidiary of Health Care Service Corporation (HCSC), which operates BCBS plans in IL, MT, NM, OK, and TX. DNoA network extends nationally and is used by many self-funded employer dental plans. Network participation may overlap with BCBS dental benefits in HCSC states.
