Dental revenue cycle management is an ever-evolving service technology that works with your practice to streamline all aspects of financial management. For most practices, this means the process of dental billing. Ensuring claims are paid on time and accurately is the goal of any company offering outsourced solutions. However, depending on the needs of your practice, you may need more than just a simple AR management tool. We’re here to offer you a comprehensive look at evolving dental billing services so you can make the right choice for your practice.
What are the biggest benefits of outsourced dental billing services?
Most dental billing services claim to reduce your outstanding insurance and or patient AR balances. This is done by outsourcing the primary tasks of dental billing to remote billers with experience. This helps eliminate the need for an in-house dental biller and replaces it with a dedicated expert able to work through your AR even outside of normal business hours.
How much do dental billing services cost?
Be sure to look at the cost-to-service ratio for any dental billing services you’re thinking of implementing. And, ask yourself these all-important questions:
- • Are you paying for many services or just a few?
- • Are these services actually useful for your practice goals or are you paying for things you don’t want or need?
- • Is there a bundled service package?
- • Are there any financial guarantees?
