The DSO Landscape Is Shifting Fast
ADSO 2025 brought together some of the brightest minds and boldest technologies in the dental support organization (DSO) world — and one thing was clear:
DSOs are scaling faster than ever. But with expansion comes complexity — from onboarding new providers and navigating multi-state payor rules to maintaining compliance across growing networks.
Throughout the event, one question kept surfacing:
How can DSOs grow smarter, not harder? The resounding answer?
Credentialing and payor enrollment automation. Challenge #1: Manual Credentialing = Delayed Revenue
Across every conversation, we heard a common pain:
manual credentialing is slowing down growth. Did you know?
•
60–90 days: That’s the average time it takes to credential a provider
•
$10,000+ per provider: Estimated revenue loss for every onboarding delay
•
5–10% annual revenue leakage is directly linked to enrollment inefficiencies
For DSOs investing heavily in expansion, this bottleneck isn’t just inconvenient — it’s
costly. Challenge #2: Payor Enrollment Is Still a Maze
DSOs are managing dozens of payor relationships, each with
different forms, portals, and follow-ups. This outdated system leads to:
• Frequent
errors in submission
• Increased
claim denials • Poor
provider satisfaction 65% of DSOs report
regular errors in payor enrollment, with compliance gaps putting them at
audit risk. The industry’s ready for payor enrollment workflows that are modern, scalable, and
automated from day one. What DSOs Need Next: Intelligent Automation
At
Booth #719, at ADSO, Santech introduced DSOs to
I-Enroll, our purpose-built, automation-first credentialing and enrollment platform.
Here’s how I-Enroll solves the biggest provider onboarding challenges: •

Scales effortlessly with DSO growth – without adding headcount
It’s more than just a credentialing tool —
it’s a growth accelerator for modern DSOs.
Why DSOs Must Prioritize Credentialing Automation in 2025
Modern DSOs are at a turning point. With aggressive growth plans and razor-thin margins,
manual processes simply don’t scale. Automated credentialing and payor enrollment isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s a necessity for:
• Faster go-lives when opening new locations
• Improved compliance and payor relations
• Happier providers and admin teams
• Faster revenue realization with fewer denials
I-Enroll is designed to meet these needs—helping DSOs eliminate inefficiencies and scale confidently.
Key Takeaway: It’s Time to Fix What’s Broken
The next evolution of DSOs won’t be built on more headcount, spreadsheets, or systems that don’t talk to each other.
It will be built on
workflow intelligence, automation, and smart integrations. I-Enroll bridges the gap between credentialing, payor enrollment, and compliance
