How Our Dental Billing Service Solves 3 Common Dental Office Disasters

    Dental billing is often frustrating and can determine the productivity of a dental practice if staff members spend precious time and energy redoing their work to correct mistakes. No wonder problems crop up, since most dental offices are staffed with dental professionals, not billing and finance specialists, and dental billing keeps getting more complicated. That’s why many dental practices are turning to outsourced teams of specialists, like SB Dental Solutions, to handle their billing and coding responsibilities. Along with simplifying the dental billing process for both dentists and patients, outsourcing also solves other common problems faced by most dental offices.  

        1. Inaccurate Patient Portion Estimates, Fixed! When patients receive their initial treatment estimates, they expect their resulting bills to match. Unfortunately, offices often underestimate the patient’s final portion, causing frustration, anxiety, and frequently, an unpaid dental bill. Inaccurate estimates result from many intersecting variables, including incorrect insurance breakdowns, errors during the filing process, and more.   When a trusted, team of dental billing specialists provides both cost estimates and final bills, there’s a much lower risk of inconsistencies. Knowledgeable billing specialists can devote all the time necessary to decipher and confirm each detail and deliver accurate cost estimates.  

      2. Confusing Customer Questions, Clarified! Patients calling into their dental office with billing questions might not consistently get reliable answers. Unpredictable customer service costs dentists valuable time and money and might even drive patients to seek another dental provider.   But with our billing solution, patients benefit from qualified billing experts who can accurately break down their bills. Patients appreciate receiving consistent, correct, and clear answers straight from knowledgeable billing professionals.  

​      3. Gridlock & Slow Cashflow, Cleared Up! Outsourcing increases accuracy and lowers the cost of labor compared to in-house billing, which frees up capital for dental practices to use elsewhere. Dentists also save the money that they'd otherwise spend to purchase dental billing software.   Additionally, dentists frequently encounter bottlenecked cashflow because of inefficient billing practices, causing the business to struggle. On the other hand, using dedicated billing management through a specially trained team results in a faster, smoother billing process than in-house billing. 


​          Outsourcing enables practices to better manage their assets and keep on top of any potential problems along the way.   More Time for What Matters: The Patient Spending too much time on billing issues reduces the amount of time available to focus on delivering excellent patient care.
