Dental Clearance Is a Hidden Bottleneck in Hospital Care

Critical procedures are often delayed not because patients are not ready — but because dental clearance is slow, fragmented, and difficult to coordinate.

Patient Ready

Cleared for procedure

Find Available Dentist

Care team calls multiple offices

Referral / Intake

Patient info sent manually

Scheduling

Back-and-forth to find availability

Follow-up

Care team follows up for updates

Clearance Received

Results returned and reviewed

Procedure Can be Scheduled

Patient moves forward

DELAYS & GAPS

Delays can extend from several days to weeks, blocking time-sensitive procedures

Fragmented Coordination

Multiple calls, referrals, and handoffs across teams with no centralized workflow

No Real-Time Visibility

Care teams have limited insight into status, provider assignment, or timing

Unpredictable Delays

Clearance timelines vary widely, making scheduling and planning difficult

High-Acuity Cases Get Stalled

Transplant and cardiac patients can be delayed despite being clinically ready

As a result, time-sensitive care pathways stall, teams lose visibility, and high-value procedures may be delayed

HowVitalPassWorks

Launch from Epic / EMR

01

Launch and submit a dental clearance request directly from the patient workflow.

Case Intake

02

Patient context is pre-filled, and the care team adds urgency, service line, timing, and precautions.

Dentist Dispatch

03

Cases are routed to verified dentists based on license, availability, location, and medically complex case experience.

Dentist Reviews & Accepts

04

The dentist reviews priority, medical risks, and hospital details before accepting.

En Route Tracking

05

Track accepted, en route, ETA, and live location.

Clearance Result

06

Structured clearance result is returned to the hospital: Cleared, Not Cleared, or Conditionally Cleared.

VitalPass removes the dental clearance bottleneck by connecting hospital teams with verified dentists through a real-time dispatch platform.

Move High-Acuity Procedures Forward Faster

Cut clearance delays for transplant, cardiac, and TAVR patients so surgery dates hold firm.

One structured workflow replaces the calls, faxes, and referral chasing that stall care teams.

Reduce Operational Burden

Assignment, en-route status, ETA, and case progress update live — no manual follow-up needed.

Improve Patient Throughput

Help care teams move patients through pre-procedure clearance faster and with fewer bottlenecks.

Verified Provider Network

Hospitals see dentist credentials, license status, experience, and provider identity before arrival.

VitalPass turns dental clearance from a bottleneck into a visible, trackable hospital workflow.

Join the VitalPass Dentist Network

VitalPass connects qualified dentists with hospital-based dental clearance opportunities. Dentists complete professional verification, malpractice review, VitalPass training, and hospital-specific authorization before becoming eligible to accept cases. Requirements vary by state, hospital, and procedure.

Contracting Structure

Dentists may be eligible to participate as individual independent contractors or through approved dentist-owned professional practices or entities. The available structure depends on the laws of the state where services are performed and the requirements of the participating hospital. VitalPass reviews both the treating dentist and any contracting entity before activation.

What every dentist completes before activation

  • Active dentist license in every state where the provider accepts cases.
  • Individual professional liability insurance meeting VitalPass and hospital standards.
  • National and state screening, credential verification and background requirements.
  • VitalPass core training and separate authorization for each hospital site.
  • Procedure-specific approval when required.
  • W-9, independent contractor agreement and verified payment profile.
  • Entity documentation when contracting through a practice or professional entity.
  • Ongoing renewal and monitoring of credentials, insurance and hospital authorization.

Dentist Network FAQs

Do I need a professional dental corporation to join?

Not in every case. VitalPass may allow qualified dentists to contract individually or through an approved professional practice or entity. The available option depends on state law, hospital requirements and VitalPass compliance review.

Can I be paid through my dental practice?

Yes, when the entity is legally permitted for dental professional services in the applicable state and completes VitalPass entity, tax, ownership and insurance verification.

Does entity approval replace my individual credentialing?

No. Every treating dentist must be individually licensed, insured, trained and authorized for each hospital and procedure.

What malpractice insurance is required?

You must maintain professional liability insurance that meets the applicable VitalPass and hospital limits and covers the services and locations where you accept cases. Exact requirements are shown during onboarding.

Can I work in more than one state?

Yes, after you complete the separate licensing, insurance, training and hospital authorization requirements for each state and location.

Am I a VitalPass employee?

Dentists participate under an independent contractor arrangement, subject to applicable law and the signed agreement. Participation does not guarantee cases or a minimum schedule.

Are dental assistants or hygienists available through VitalPass?

Yes. Every case that requires chairside or procedural support is staffed through one of two options: you bring an approved assistant or hygienist from your own clinical team (you receive 70% and compensate them directly), or you request a VitalPass-dispatched provider (you receive 60% and the dispatched provider receives 10% of the final approved case revenue). Under both options the support provider must independently pass VitalPass verification, hospital-specific training and site authorization before the case is confirmed.

Designed for Epic / EMR-Connected Hospital Workflows

VitalPass is designed to integrate into hospital workflows, allowing care teams to request and track dental clearance without leaving the patient workflow.
