Dental billing is quite different than medical billing. Also, many medical insurance plans have a dental component now requiring claims to be sent to them first. The billing world hasn't become easier, it is definitely more complex now days! Your office needs experienced billers to make sure claims are paid efficiently and correctly. Your bottom line depends on it!
Do you see trauma/accident patients? Do you diagnose abscesses and other medical issues with a CBCT machine? Do you know how to help your patient maximize their medical benefits and save their dental benefits for other needs?
What is your comfort level with your current staff submitting claims to medical insurance companies? Submitting to medical insurance isn't as straight-forward as sending the CDT codes on a HCFA-1500, your biller has to know how to convert CDT codes to CPT codes and which insurances want the CDT vs CPT codes. They need to know if a modifier has to be attached to one or more codes to prevent a denial. They need to know if the procedures require pre-authorization.
