If your team is on hold with insurance companies more often than with patients, your receivables are suffering. Insurance claims are notorious for hold-ups, denials, and maddening “missing info” requests.

 

Why Dental Insurance Chaos Hurts

  • Cash flow bottlenecks as AR grows
  • Uncertainty over patient portions vs. insurance payments
  • Wasted admin time chasing claims

 

Taming the Insurance Beast

1. Submit Claims Daily
 Never let claims “pile up”—send and track them daily.

2. Follow Up Relentlessly
 Set timetables for contacting insurers. Don’t let claims disappear into oblivion.

3. Train Your Team
 Everyone handling insurance should know coding, documentation, and follow-up best practices.

4. Analyze Denials
 Spot common problems and fix process gaps fast.
