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?
Not at launch. VitalPass dispatches verified, credentialed, and hospital-authorized dentists. For procedures that require clinical support, dentists may bring their own qualified dental assistant or hygienist. However, every support provider must independently complete VitalPass verification, hospital-specific credentialing, required facility training, and receive approval to practice at that hospital before participating in patient care. In a future phase, VitalPass will also offer the option to request a VitalPass Clinical Support Provider. These assistants and hygienists will already be verified, credentialed, trained, and approved for participating hospital sites, allowing hospitals and dentists to staff procedures more efficiently. No clinical provider—including dentists, dental assistants, or hygienists—is permitted to provide care through VitalPass unless they have been individually verified, credentialed, trained, and authorized for the specific hospital where services are performed.
Verified Providers Hospital Teams Can Trust
