Electronic Claims Ease Stress for Medical Billing for Dentists

Technological advancements constantly revolutionize the dental industry by allowing dentists to increase comprehensive care to patients. However, dental procedures and diagnostic equipment are not the only aspects impacted by technology. The process of claims submissions is also enhanced. With the use of electronic medical billing for dentists, the entire process is simplified while offering a more accurate process with less headache and stress. By adopting electronic claims submission systems, dentists experience less stress and fewer rejections for an overall increased efficiency throughout the dental practice.

Benefits of Electronic Claims Submission

Dentists around the world are opting to use electronic claims submission systems due to the various benefits the systems offer. When making the switch to an electronic system, the amount of time staff spends tracking and following up on claims submissions significantly decreases. By allowing the system to automatically notify of claims that have been received, accepted, rejected, or past due, staff is able to better allocate their time to more importance areas. Dentist of all specialties are turning to this method. For example, with electronic sleep apnea medical billing for dentists, the staff is able to become more productive by not having to follow or maintain a lengthy paper trail.

With the reduction of clerical paperwork, electronic claims are often processed in half of the time than that of paper submissions. In addition, the electronic records are more comprehensive, accurate and timely when compared to paper methods. The decreased paper usage also decreases overhead costs by saving on postage, envelops, and forms, allowing for an increase in cash flow through a simplified process.

The timely reports allow you to be notified instantly regarding the status of the claims, granting you more control over your claim submissions and billing. This allows you to respond immediately to the notifications to check for errors. This decreases the number of rejected claims received due to mail sorting issues and other various, now avoidable, delays.

In addition, many dental insurance companies tend to process electronic claims faster than those summited traditionally because they require less manual labor. As a result, you will lower the number of outstanding receivables.

Switching to an electronic form of claims also simplifies recordkeeping. The detailed reports can easily be sorted and stored in proper digital files, decreasing the need to enter information manually into patient and dental practice files.
