How to Reduce or Maximize Insurance Administration



Listen in as we wrap up our conversation with Mr. Benjamin Tuinei, President of Veritas Dental Resources, to discover what most practices are doing wrong when it comes to insurance administration, and to identify some "low hanging fruit" opportunities that any dental office can focus on to be more efficient with insurance administration.

We’ll also answer:

        
  • When it comes to basic level CDT coding, what are common issues as it pertains to insurance billing that dental offices should be aware of?
  •     
  • How do you handle non-covered services?
  •     
  • What about services that are severely under-compensated by insurance such as veneers, implants, or even cosmetic crowns? How can I survive on providing 5-star dentistry at 1-star reimbursements?
  •     
  • Are pre-authorizations recommended? If so, how do you implement a pre-authorization policy without delaying treatment as a result of waiting 6-8 weeks to get a pre-auth sent back?

If you have questions about anything you heard, email Ben at:
