Frequently Asked Questions

Q I have submitted my paperwork to become a Golden West Provider. When do I know if I have been accepted?
A If all paperwork is complete and the agreement and credentialing information is attached, we will be able to let you know within 30 business days.
Q Do you accept all Dentists as providers?
A No. We consider three factors when accepting dentists: quality and history of service, geographic area, and member density near the dentist's office.
Q Why should I accept Golden West?
A Golden West Dental & Vision has more than 25 years of experience providing innovative dental products. In the offices of a number of doctors, Golden West Plans are the only plans accepted. This is no doubt attributable to our history of service and stability. Golden West is proud of and dedicated to the network of private practices that treat our members.
Q What type of help do you offer to my office staff?
A If your staff has questions on the plans, they simply call our Network Development Department. Our staff is always ready and available to assist you at the same number. You will also have a Network Area Manager accessible to you and your staff who will be able to provide personal office training.
