March 14, 2022 Dental Billing, Dental Insurance Verification 3 min read

The reality is that dental insurance can impact a patient’s relationship with their dentist. The primary cause is often the payment expectation and insurance reconciliation process. Insurance verification, the most frequently missed dental billing step, is often skipped because dental administrators lack the time to handle it. This is where remote dental billing companies and their experts become essential for completing dental billing processes.

Without proper treatment, a patient’s oral health declines, and they might seek cheaper but lower-quality care depending on their insurance. However, if patients trust your practice’s dental billing processes, they are more likely to remain loyal. Outsourcing to dental billing companies can bridge the gap in insurance verification expectations and streamline dental billing processes.

Increasing case acceptance with insurance verification

Insurance verification helps patient billing and reduces unexpected patient statements, which can lead to frustration, poor online reviews, and low patient retention. Confidently presenting treatment plans with accurate insurance verification can improve case acceptance and foster trust in the dental billing process. Patients are more likely to pay outstanding copayments when properly informed. Regardless of whether a dental provider is in or out of network, insurance verification is crucial for presenting treatment plans, collecting patient copayments, and setting up financial arrangements.

Improving case acceptance, cash flow, and patient retention requires consistent and comprehensive insurance verification. Prioritizing accurate plan benefits and patient copayments allows your practice to offer excellent clinical care for every appointment type.

Using dental billing companies for insurance verification

Outsourcing insurance verification to a remote dental billing company can bring financial security and support your dental team. It also provides accurate benefit explanations before appointments, eliminating guesswork related to plan changes, expirations, or downgrades. Key benefits include:

  • More time for patient care
  • Less insurance follow-up
  • Perfected revenue cycle management
  • More chairs = more patients
