When you’re new to dentistry, the feeling of being able to provide professional, exceptional oral healthcare to patients is second to none. You and your staff are helping people each day, sometimes on days where they’d rather be anywhere else. Being a healthcare professional is never easy, especially when dealing with the administrative aspects of the business. There isn’t enough time in the day to spend with patients and commit to making sure every dental billing claim is filed accurately and quickly. When your practice is new and committed to patient care, insurance can take a back seat. Here’s why it should be a priority.
Finding and keeping new dental patients
Once you’ve created your dental team, the next step is to find and keep patients. The at times lifelong relationships that dentists have with patients is a special bond that every one of your staff work to maintain. Keeping your schedule full of new and returning patients is essential. The administrative necessity of booking new patient appointments is crucial to lifelong practice success. But how can you know that those new patients will be ready to commit to their copay and portion when their appointment comes?
Problem solving with dental insurance verification
Consider the fact that many patients (and your staff) don’t exactly know or understand an individual patient’s EOB by memory. Without foreknowledge as to whether treatment is covered through insurance or not, patients can be left in the dark about how much they’re supposed to pay out of pocket when they visit your office. Accurate insurance verification can be the make-or-break point for your practice when it comes to cash flow. Along with dental billing, the insurance verification process can be optimized to work for you prior to a patient’s appointment, meaning you will both know what to expect. It goes without saying that a knowledgeable patient is a happy one.
The problem of dental insurance AR
Dental billing is the bread and butter of your practice finances. Once those patients book an appointment and receive service, your team bills their insurance for a reimbursable amount owed to you. Unfortunately, many dentists aren’t consistently getting 100% of what they’re rightfully owed. eAssist Dental Solutions understands the unique need of new and veteran dentists when it comes to optimizing the remote dental billing process. Instead of spending hours of staff time each day working claims, you can effectively put the entire process on autopilot.
