During busy times, your dental practice is humming with activity\u2014you\u2019re examining and talking with patients, your hygienists are cleaning teeth, your front desk staff members are checking patients in. When you have a lot going on, it may seem like an inconvenience to add another task to the mix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, if you aren\u2019t currently taking the time for insurance verification<\/a>, it could end up hurting your practice. Why is this step important? What could happen to your relationship with patients if you don\u2019t do this? Keep reading to find out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

What Could Happen If Insurance Isn\u2019t Properly Verified Before Filing Claims<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s say your team doesn\u2019t verify a patient\u2019s insurance prior to the appointment. When the patient arrives and is treated, you collect their assumed deductible and submit the claims with their insurance for the rest of the payment. A while later, your team would follow up with insurance to ensure that the claims are going through, only to find out that some information is incorrect. In other words, the claim is denied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After this setback, your staff would need to contact the patient to collect accurate policy information, starting the process all over again. Not only does this add to your team\u2019s workload, but it delays your payment from the insurance company. And that\u2019s just for one patient!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smoother Insurance Processing Makes for Happier Patients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For the most part, the world of insurance makes sense predominantly to those who work in it. Put another way\u2014most of your patients would rather not know the nitty-gritty of how their dental insurance works. They just want claims to be handled correctly with minimal involvement on their part.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you take care of insurance verification before the appointment, you confirm that the patient does, in fact, have coverage with an insurance provider and avoid the awkward, annoying phone call to the patient after the visit to resolve the issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Insurance verification pre-appointment also shows the patient that your team is proactive, competent, and on the ball, helping the patient trust your practice. It\u2019s a small step, but it helps to build a stronger relationship with your patients and helps with retention in the long term!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dental Support Specialties Can Take Care of This Step<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Although verification is certainly important, many dental offices simply don\u2019t have the staffing capacity to have someone devote time to calling insurance companies all day. Their attention is taken up by patients in the office, answering phone calls, and other administrative tasks. That\u2019s where Dental Support Specialties comes in! We can verify each patient\u2019s insurance information and even file claims, making the process seamless for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
