As a dental practice owner, you probably have two thoughts that consistently creep into your brain. How do I get paid more? How do I get paid faster? The dental billing process can be stressful and overwhelming. Have you looked at your current process to see where the roadblocks and delays are occurring? As the nation’s leading dental billing platform that has pioneered the dental billing best practices, we’ve got 3 quick ways for you to get paid more and get paid faster.
1. Outsource your dental billing and increase focus
If outsourcing your dental billing scares you because you are afraid you will have to let someone on your staff go, you don’t need to worry. Outsourcing your dental billing does help lighten the workload for your existing staff, giving them time to focus on what truly grows a dental practice: the patients. However, dental codes and insurance requirements can be complex and ever-changing. Having dedicated dental billing specialists on your team allows them to focus on your streamlining your processes and increasing your revenue. Your outsourced team doesn’t replace your office but serves as an extension of it.
Your staff will finally be able to focus on customer service and providing an exceptional experience for your patients, not learning new codes and complexities in the software. That way your retention stays high and your receivables stay low.
2. Streamline your revenue
Does your dental practice still receive paper checks from insurance carriers? Insurance payments on services rendered could be hitting your practice bank account much sooner with EFT payments. This reduces embezzlement and lost checks in the mail. Click here to read How to switch to EFT payments.
3. Perfect Pre-Appointment Readiness Plan
Do you have a Pre-Appointment Readiness Plan? That is everything that needs to be completed before the patient is seated in your dental practice to send a clean claim for timely reimbursement. This includes:
- Complete insurance verification
- Up-to-date CDT codes in the practice management software and on the claim
- Knowledge of what documentation the claim needs
- Efficient and effective morning huddle
