6 REASONS TO CHOOSE
ASCENT DENTAL BILLING
YOUR INCOME WILL GROW & RECEIVABLES WILL SHRINK :
By knowing what causes rejected insurance claims and how to prevent them, effectively appealing denied claims, and focusing on your accounts receivables, our clients earn more than they did before-even after paying our fee.
YOU WILL WRITE OFF FEWER INSURANCE ADJUSTMENTS :
Often unnecessary adjustments are requested by insurance companies. Because we understand what is rightfully yours, we do all we can to make sure you get it. Your over 90 day insurance accounts receivables will always be at a minimum.
YOUR STAFF’S FOCUS SHIFTS TO PATIENT CO-PAYS :
Good Patients will more likely pay for treatment if they are given written treatment plan estimates that are exact. It takes time to verify insurances, ensure fee schedules are correct, and build relationships with patients. Your staff will have time to do that now.
YOU WILL BE PAID FASTER BY INSURANCE COMPANIES :
Good account receivable management requires more focus. We discover and help correct inefficiencies in office practices that lead to denied claims and lost revenue-eliminating most delays before the claim is sent.
YOU WILL ENJOY MORE ORGANIZATIONAL STABILITY :
Staff turnover is a never-ending problem for any small business-dental offices are not exempt from this disruptive issue. We eliminate it by ensuring that your dental insurance collection mechanism is never disrupted again.
YOU WILL BE MORE ORGANIZED : ARE YOUR EOBS ORGANIZED ?
How often are they referenced? Without knowing why a claim was denied, it’s impossible to correct it or explain it to a patient. Our service will organize your EOBs into searchable PDF documents stored on your network.
