  • Coordinate and communicate with insurance companies to resolve disputes and expedite claim processing and payments.
  • Prepare and present detailed treatment plans to patients, explaining the costs, insurance coverage, and available payment options.
  • Maintain accurate and up-to-date patient billing records, processing payments, and pursuing collections in a tactful manner.
  • Utilize EagleSoft dental software to record transactions and generate financial reports that assist in strategic financial planning.
  • Collaborate with dental staff and administration to ensure a cohesive approach to patient care and financial management.
  • Provide exceptional customer service, addressing patients' billing and insurance inquiries with clarity and empathy.

Requirements

  • In-depth knowledge of dental billing practices, including understanding of ICD-10 and CDT coding systems for claim processing.
  • Excellence in communication skills, both written and verbal, allowing for effective patient interactions and resolution of insurance disputes.
  • Strong organizational skills and attention to detail to ensure accuracy in all financial and administrative tasks.
  • Ability to work as part of a team, contributing to the collaborative environment and supporting peers in achieving collective goals.
  • Commitment to ethical practices and maintaining patient confidentiality as per HIPAA regulations.
