Many offices across the country are losing money daily on submitted patient claims due to two preventable factors:
- Payments or electronic-fund transfers (EFTs) from insurance companies are sometimes sent to the wrong bank account or are not even received by the office, despite insurance companies claiming to have sent the funds; and
- Funds that are actually received from the insurance companies are sometimes incorrectly applied.
It’s hard to think about, but the employees posting payments are human and sometimes humans make mistakes. The scary part of these human errors is that usually by the time the errors are discovered, it may be too late to fix because of filing timing restrictions.
Dental accountants can monitor and track these EFT payments on a daily basis to review accuracy while ensuring the funds are applied to the correct patient accounts. This set of eyes can also catch any warning signs of embezzlement early.
