What does it mean to rely on a professional dental billing partner? As a busy practice, it’s a real benefit to the average dental provider office to have these people monitoring accounts and revenue cycles.
Just like other kinds of medical providers, dentists have to deal with that patient and insurance company’s ‘triangle’ that is so troublesome and hard to deal with for nearly any of the stakeholders who might be involved. There’s the task of making sure insurance is billed and coded properly, and then there’s the rest of the process of trying to collect. Patients often have a hard time paying for dental services out-of-pocket, so the dentist’s office is left trying to wrangle money from an insurance contract. This is easier said than done! Even with the right insurance reimbursement contracts in place, all kinds of obstacles can apply, requiring some keen eyes to sort things out.
We help with all of this coding and billing work, as well as insurance verification and dental accounting, to make sure that our clients are benefiting from a smooth financial cycle. That takes a detailed knowledge of how this industry works, financially as well as clinically, and what common workflows look like. Without this, your office may get lost trying to plan revenue cycles correctly.
Here’s one way that we help dentists to “stay on top” of a fast-paced clinical cycle, in a world where medical and related practices are under growing pressure to perform. We can look at the big picture when it comes to the dental office and its revenue cycle, to see what’s needed and how we can assist in getting providers where they need to be for optimal workflows. We do all of this with attention to HIPAA so that we don’t compromise your privacy standards. We also do it with attention to other kinds of regulatory activity, and, for example, the digitization movement represented by the federal government’s past HITECH initiatives. All of it addresses some of the realities that dentists and doctors face in modern work.
Get a free consultation, and we’ll explain more about how we work with dental providers to make sure that the clerical side of their business isn’t slowing them down. Dentists are clinical rock stars, and they excel at keeping mouths in great condition, but they don’t always want to wear all of these different hats trying to make sure that the billing is optimized. That’s our specialty! We can work great together – to make sure that all of the bases are covered.
