\"stressed<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Did you know that about 57 percent of the American population has dental insurance? Compared to medical insurance, that number may not seem as impressive, but that\u2019s roughly half of your potential patients who have insurance and want to use their benefits! In other words, if you want to bring in more patients, you need to be flexible and work with the dental insurance plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like it or not, finding a practice that works with their dental insurance is an important attraction for your patient base. But you know all too well just how troublesome insurance can be. Since it\u2019s a necessary evil, you have two choices for your practice: try to deal with the stress of dental insurance verification<\/a> on your own or let Dental Support Specialties handle it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

On Your Own<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you file insurance claims, you typically end up forgoing about 30 percent of the dentist\u2019s fees to meet the PPO rates. This means that while being insurance-friendly may attract more patients, the only way to be profitable is to be efficient with a large volume of patients. That equates to a lot of paperwork for your team! With the obligation to perform other duties around the office as well, your team can feel overwhelmed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, you may consider hiring an insurance coordinator specifically to handle the process. However, this workload can quickly get out of hand. After all, this one staff member needs to access your patients\u2019 insurance company to verify coverage and benefits and enter all fee schedules (which can be different from plan to plan) into the computer within a short period of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before starting treatment, many patients want to know how much the procedure will cost, meaning you have a tight deadline to put together an accurate<\/em> treatment plan. The keyword here is accurate<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some research shows that more practices lose patients because of miscommunication about dental insurances and billing than because of clinical dental care. That\u2019s how critical insurance is for your bottom line! As a result, it is maybe unwise to take on this responsibility alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
