The Benefits of Outsourcing Dental Billing for New Dentists
For dentists just starting out, the thrill of providing top-notch dental care to patients is unparalleled. You and your team are dedicated to assisting individuals, often at times when they're experiencing discomfort or would prefer to be elsewhere. The role of a healthcare provider is undoubtedly challenging, especially when it comes to handling the business side of things, such as administrative duties. With the demands of patient care, there's hardly enough time to ensure that every dental billing claim is processed accurately and promptly. In the early stages of establishing a practice, while the focus is predominantly on patient care, managing insurance matters often becomes secondary. Here’s why it should take precedence.
Attracting and Retaining Dental Patients
After forming your dental team, the next crucial step is to attract and retain patients. Dentists often form long-term relationships with their patients, a unique bond cherished by every member of your staff. It’s vital to keep your appointment schedule filled with both new and returning patients. The administrative task of scheduling appointments for new patients is key to the long-term success of your practice. But, how can you ensure these new patients are prepared to handle their copayment and other financial responsibilities at the time of their visit?
Understanding Dental Billing: The Importance of Dental Insurance Verification
Many patients, as well as dental staff, might not be familiar with the specifics of a patient's Explanation of Benefits (EOB). Without prior knowledge of what treatments are covered by insurance, patients may be uncertain about their out-of-pocket expenses. Accurate insurance verification is critical for maintaining your practice’s cash flow. By optimizing the insurance verification and dental billing processes ahead of a patient’s visit, both you and your patients can set clear expectations. It’s clear that an informed patient is a satisfied one.
Challenges with Dental Insurance Accounts Receivable
The essence of your practice’s financial health lies in dental billing. Once patients have their appointments and receive services, your team bills their insurance for the amount due to your practice. However, it's common for dentists to not fully receive what they're entitled to. Bloom Dental Services recognizes the specific needs of both new and experienced dentists in streamlining the dental billing process. Instead of allocating extensive staff hours daily to manage claims, this entire operation can be streamlined efficiently.
