Sean Carroll, CEO of Fluent, stated, “We are thrilled to add Delegated DDS to Fluent’s suite of offerings, and are excited for the opportunity to better support both dental payers and providers through best-in-class credentialing services that complement our acquisition of Credentials Verification Organization (CVO), Dentistat, last year.
