How can outsourcing insurance billing benefit your dental practice? 

Angela Holland is a dental billing specialist and founder of Preferred Dental Services, a company that provides seamless insurance billing and billing system implementation for practices nationwide.

She believes that the insurance game in dentistry is ever-changing, making it difficult for one person to stay updated on the latest developments. Moreover, dentists are busy people, so it’s not uncommon for them to be unaware of what’s happening at the front desk regarding billing - which can be dangerous for the practice.

Angela has found that many practices are guilty of blind fraudulent activity. In other words, their billing practices might result in insurance fraud, yet the office is entirely unaware of it. The problem is that even if you’re trying to do your best job, it’s still a fraud, and your practice could get in trouble.

Outsourcing insurance billing services such as Preferred Dental Services can help you make the right billing decisions, avoid billing mistakes and improve the patient experience.

Not only does Angela’s team educate the office on the best billing practices, but all team members are also up to date on all the codes and possibilities of how to build differently and more strategically to increase insurance revenue.
