Tedious Dental Billing Tasks We Make Look Easy

5/24/2023

0 Comments

 

      At SB Dental Solutions Dental Billing Company, we’ve seen many dental practices that are bogged down by the intricacies of insurance, coding, patient payments, and so on. But it doesn’t have to be that way. We offer easy, hands-off solutions for our clients that improve their revenue and relieve their staff from the most arduous aspects of dental office finance. Here are some of the tedious dental billing tasks that we easily implement for our clients:



      Renegotiating Insurance Fees Insurance companies need to turn a profit, so it is to their advantage to pay the smallest possible rates. That’s where we come in. SB Dental Solutions will negotiate with your contracted insurance plans to get you the best reimbursement rates for your dental claims. No need to make another frustrating call to clueless insurance reps; we’ll take negotiations off your plate and get you the best deals available.
       Updating Procedure Codes New dental codes come up all the time, and busy dental offices will lose out on potential revenue if they’re not informed. For example, during 2020 many dental insurance companies began reimbursing for additional Personal Protective Equipment due to Covid-19. As specialized dental billing professionals, we stay up to date on all dental billing procedures, including new opportunities for reimbursement.
      Managing Payment Plans Offering flexible payment options improves treatment acceptance rates and increases revenue in the long term. As a part of our standard services, SB Dental Solutions will bill patient portions, manage patient payment installments, and offer additional financing options. These options often enable patients to complete otherwise cost-prohibitive procedures, which benefits the patient and the dentist. Best of all, we handle the nitty-gritty of payment plans, freeing the dental office to focus on treatment rather than enforcing financial policies.  
        
Auditing Patient Info Dental insurance providers require everything on a claim to match their records, otherwise, they will deny the claim without a second glance. Unfortunately, busy office staff may forget to enter a piece of the required information into a patient’s file or may even enter incorrect information. This could include misspelling the name of a patient or policyholder, recording the wrong date of birth, or using an outdated billing address. To avoid denials, we transfer patient data electronically, regularly update billing information, and communicate directly between dental insurance companies and dental practices to ensure all patient files are accurate and complete.  
       
Getting these tasks taken care of can be quick and easy. Call us today to find out how we can take over your least favorite dental billing responsibilities.

AAE Declares May “Save Your Tooth Month” to Encourage Endodontic Treatment

5/2/2023

     The American Association of Endodontics (AAE) has declared May national “Save Your Tooth Month.” At risk teeth that require complex endodontic treatment often get postponed due to financial concerns, time constraints, or dental anxiety which can lead to the loss of natural teeth. However, the AAE has decided to take this opportunity to encourage patients to complete needed treatment, concentrate on prevention through hygiene, and receive frequent screenings.
      According to the AAE, saving natural teeth has important impacts on health and quality of life. The AAE also points out that extracting salvageable teeth causes complications because, “Tooth extraction often is more painful than the infection itself, and replacing an extracted tooth with an artificial one requires additional dental visits that can quickly add up.” 
    Patient education is key. Many are unaware that with advanced endodontic procedures and techniques, Endodontists can treat even severely treated teeth. Natural tooth retention is correlated with better nutrition and longevity, especially in elderly populations. The message behind the AAE’s focus on tooth retention comes from the stunning health outcomes from tooth retention. 
     Endodontic Practices can participate in Save Your Tooth Month by informing their patients how endodontic procedures cure pain, infection, and traumatic tooth damage. Reaching out through local and traditional media can help get the message out about natural tooth retention. 
      In addition to improving patient outcomes, education can help endodontic offices meet their financial goals. To ensure the expert handling of increased business from Save Your Tooth Month observances, reach out to the dental billing experts at SB Dental Solutions Dental Billing Company. We specialize in Endodontic Dental billing, which means that our highly trained staff have the expertise needed to help your practice thrive. Keep your patients and your profits healthy with professional billing specialists, and celebrate Save Your Tooth Month along with us and the AAE.
