Did you know that the number one reason why 20 percent of American adults haven\u2019t seen a dentist in at least a few years has to do with cost? Like it or not, money is a major concern for your patients. Perhaps that\u2019s why you\u2019ve decided to accept and work with dental insurance in your practice to attract more patients. In fact, you likely have found that new patients often ask whether you\u2019re in-network  with their insurance before scheduling an appointment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, if your team isn\u2019t verifying and filing insurance claims properly, you could end up losing patient loyalty. Read on to learn why dental insurance verification<\/a> is essential to retain patients and how Dental Support Specialties can help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The Importance of Accurate Verification<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For some patients, cost is a huge determining factor for their dental care. They want your office to be completely transparent when it comes to pricing, and they want to know what to expect before they begin any treatment. Verifying a patient\u2019s benefits during the consultation allows them to understand what they\u2019ll be responsible for paying after insurance. In certain cases, this amount can play a role in the patient\u2019s decision to move forward with treatment. As a result, this amount needs to be accurate!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Psychological Impact of Surprise Fees<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The world of dental insurance can be complex, and no one is perfect, so mistakes can happen now and then. When insurance isn\u2019t properly verified, patients may be hit with surprise fees. This can cause a rift of mistrust to form. They wonder why they weren\u2019t told about this fee before and whether your practice is being honest with them. Their frustration can lead them to search for other dental practices that will be straightforward from the get-go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Dental Support Specialties Can Help<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
