In Detail – The Benefits of Medical Billing for Dentists
What are the benefits of dental medical cross coding? And why does it seem like more and more dental practices are accepting and billing medical insurance? What’s in it for them?
Increased Case Acceptance – By billing the patient’s medical insurance, you are making your treatment easily obtainable to your patients. Patients who have a consultation for a procedure may opt against moving forward because of cost of treatment. What if you could verify that the patient’s medical insurance would cover a majority of the treatment, significantly lowering their out-of-pocket cost? They are much more likely to move forward with treatment knowing they are covered.
Shift Towards Dentists as Oral-Systemic Health Providers – Within the last decade, dentistry has become increasingly involved in the patient’s overall health and wellness. Many dental practices now provide nutrition counseling, oral cancer screening, headache and orofacial pain treatment. It just so happens the fastest growing field in dentistry, dental sleep medicine (sleep apnea dentistry), is commonly covered under medical insurance. Learning medical billing for dentists can help complete your oral-system health practice.
Standing Out From the Crowd- With over 200,000 dentists in the U.S.alone, it seems like there is now a dental practice on every street corner. How do you maintain an edge over your peers? You are perhaps the most qualified, experienced, and friendly dental practice in your city, but if a patient has to pay out-of-pocket for a service the dentist next-door will bill to medical insurance, the patient may choose them instead.
You should attend this course if you are interested in the following:
| Medical Billing for Dentists | Dental Sleep Billing | Implants and Oral Surgery Billing |
| TMJ Treatment Billing | Sleep Apnea Medical Billing | Botox for Bruxism Billing |
