eAssist Dental Solutions was founded with a primary goal: make outsourced dental billing more accessible and profitable for dental practices. Instead of relying on the old methods of insurance billing, eAssist created a culture of “by dentists, for dentists” that has given us the premier distinction of being the nation’s leader in dental billing outsourcing solutions. As we continue to evolve, our suite of solutions has grown to expand six core areas of dental practice management. Along with this, we provide you with accountability and transparency in reporting for each of our solutions platforms. Each of our achievable brand promises work to provide you with this transparency even before you enroll in our platform. Whether you’re looking to fill your calendar, streamline your dental billing processes, or simply balance the books each month, here are six dedicated solutions your practice can benefit from:

Dental insurance billing

Our bread-and-butter solution to your accounts receivable problems is our dental insurance billing platform. If you have a backlog of claim denials, rejections, or unpaid insurance accounts, this is your solution. By adding outsourced dental billing to your investment roster, you get the dedicated support you need to collect 100% of what you’re rightfully owed. Plus, your staff will thank you for allowing them to focus on what matters most: your patients.

  • Primary and secondary electronic claims submitted daily using your PMS
  • Aging report focus worked for 30-60, 60-90 days overdue accounts

Patient billing

As an add-on service to our dental insurance billing solution, the patient billing platform combines the best of both worlds in maximizing revenue. Are you ready to give your staff time to dedicate to patient care instead of patient billing? Losing time in your PMS to track statements doesn’t allow you to focus on quality care. Outsourcing your patient billing can give you your peace of mind and patient-first culture back.

Insurance verification

Insurance verification is a hugely important aspect of fulfilling our promise of collecting 100% of what is rightfully owed to you. Without sufficient verification, your patients might be getting treatment that they aren’t covered for or has lapsed without either party knowing. Often, wait times for phone verification can be anywhere from 20-45 minutes per patient. Our insurance verification platform works to prevent this through accountability in coverage before the appointment begins. To better serve the needs of your practice, our platform has two unique verification systems. Let’s break down our Standard and Extensive IV plans:

Standard:

  • Plan frequencies
  • History
  • Benefit maximums

This option is best for when adding new family members to an existing plan or confirming benefits for existing patients.

Extensive:

  • Plan coverage details
  • Code specific coverage
  • Expands on standard verification

We verify and provide you with the most thorough verification breakdown you require. This option is ideal for new patients, existing patients with a new insurance plan, or simply an update for all your patients in the new year. We can also customize the full benefit breakdown for specific specialty offices.

What to expect from our insurance verification platform:

  • Build trust with patients by preventing surprise bills and copays
  • Cut accounts receivable through proactive patient insurance management
  • Greater satisfaction and potentially increased case acceptance through trust in your practice

Patient recall and scheduling

eAssist’s Full Schedule platform is a personalized patient recall system that is built to deliver results to you by getting patients in the chair.

Educating patients about the importance of their oral healthcare has never been easier than with Full Schedule.

What to expect from the Full Schedule platform:

  • Patient recall through HIPAA-safe communication channels
  • Weekly and monthly ROI reports
  • You don’t pay unless your patients schedule

Credentialing

It can be difficult for dentists to repeat the credentialing process annually and remember the specific dates to re-credential. As a result, many of us can find ourselves receiving an out-of-network status notification. This can be a costly error to your practice, leading to lack of patient retention as well as lost time due to the necessity of credentialing.

What is dental credentialing

What to expect from the dental credentialing platform:

  • We take care of necessary documents and forms
  • Knowledge of what is required for specific insurances
  • Vetting in and out of network dentists
  • Fee schedule updates as needed

Imagine knowing that every practitioner (and yourself) are completely covered and ready to work, all without the mountain of forms, paperwork, and hoops to jump through.

What we promise you with our credentialing platform:

  • Successfully credential your providers with all requested insurances within 120 days
  • 60 day notification of contract renewal dates and offer to re-credential
  • Submit contracts within 2 business days of receiving completed forms and documents
