DBCP’s Billing Vantage Point
August 2024
As summer comes to an end, we reflect on our unique billing vantage point. Our staff performs full-service billing to a range of practices each and every day across various states. Some are small single providers while others are multi-provider practices with many locations. Each practice uses a different practice management software and has their own interoffice workflow. All participate with many different commercial medical and dental payers and many accept Medicaid.
Our strength is to see big-picture trends and use what we know and learn in one circumstance and apply it elsewhere – it is our unique billing vantage point. Each day/week/month we work with:
8+ practice management software (Dentrix Enterprise, DSN, EagleSoft, OMS Vision, Open Dental, Practice Works, Sensei, WinOMS)
150+ medical and dental payers and policies
200+ hours on the phone each month following up on claims and/or verifying insurance
12+ states (including Medicaid, Tricare, Veterans)
Oral and maxillofacial surgery, periodontics, general dentistry, pediatric dentistry
Office, facility/ASC, hospital
and countless portals!
Plus, it’s not just trends in billing and claims processing that we notice. Our in-house, custom A/R Analytics gives us insight into how to understand billing data, what data to export and analyze, and what story that data reveals about the overall health of a practice’s A/R and interoffice workflow. Our data analytics process takes the canned reports available within software to the next level and our understanding of the data is always framed within the context of all the broad trends we see across our clients.
While patient care relies on consistency, continuity and relationship building, successful billing is rooted in an ever-evolving, complex landscape of procedure codes, insurance guidelines, clearinghouses and annual updates. The broader your scope of understanding billing changes, the stronger your billing knowledge will be. We share our expertise and experience in this blog for this very reason!
