https://bonddentalbilling.com Schedule your complimentary practice analysis: https://www.bonddentalconsulting.com/meet Email me today: ashley@bonddentalconsulting.com Collecting Payment at Time of Service Make sure to collect family balance including previous balances and balances from other family members. Don’t just collect today’s portion due. Make sure to $0-out estimated insurance payment on any procedures not covered by insurance before batching claim to collect that $ at time of service. (I.E. Vel., laser, adult FL, D4910, guards, etc) When reviewing treatment plans, let patients know that their estimated portion is due at the time of service, so there won’t be any surprises. Even better- collect when you schedule that appointment (before they come in) Options: offer 3%/5% pre-pay discount (depending on credit card or cash/check). Not only does this help KEEP their appointment, it also helps us from chasing down payment. You can collect for treatment BEFORE the patient goes back into the treatment room. “[Patient Name], before you go back to see [Dr Name], I’ll take care of your estimated portion due today. (If they ask why-) I know you’ll be numb when you leave, so this is our standard protocol to make it easier on our patients.” (Present it as a courtesy to THEM) Make sure every team member is on the same page and follows the same protocols for collections.…

Resources from today's episode: Front Office Coaching: http://www.firstimpressiondentalcoaching.com Smile Advantage-Dental Care Plan: https://mysmileadvantage.com Going out of network letter/scripts: email me Ashley.bond@bonddentalbilling.com How to tell patients you are going out of network? First, be very up front with your patients. I recommend sending a letter before the move because chances are the insurance company WILL send them notification prompting them to leave your practice. Get in front of it by sending them a letter discussing that they CAN stay and a lot of times the difference between in and out of network rates are small. Be willing to do a breakdown of benefits for each patient before they come in and try to give them the best estimate you can. You can really prompt your in house membership plan which may save the patient money and keep them committed to your practice. Especially patients who do not have a lot of treatment, this could be a perfect solution. It's super easy now to implement an in house membership plan. I recommend a company called Smile Advantage. Instead of charging your office for each patient's visit, they help your office set up a DIY membership plan. They help with the tracking and marketing for a low monthly fee. It should be a methodical dropping. Not a quick thing. Get in contact with and invest in training for your staff- front office coaching - Kortney LeDuc with first impression dental coaching Answer questions like why are you going out of network? How will it change my costs? Increase Customer Service What to say when new patient call I have some scripts and a letter for your team- send me an email at ashley@bonddentaconsulting.com and I would be happy to share them with you Get in contact with a company to help you with your in-house membership plan like Smile Advantage or start one yourself. Create that option for patients Call the insurance company and ask the steps to go from in network to out of network Send a letter to your patients BEFORE you submit the paperwork needed by the insurance company. I have a free example; just email me. Submit the necessary paperwork to go out of network- this can take months to process Have a team members designated to make sure the transition with the insurance company stays on track- they will attempt to delay it…
https://bonddentalbilling.com Out of network practice: Cons : it is harder to get a patient an accurate estimate. While it is still 100% possible to get accurate estimates- it takes a little more skill, knowledge and digging on the office’s part. Listen to episode on 16 on difference between fee schedule/table of allowance and UCR- important to know as a fee for service practice Pros: Freedom to pick your own fees for your services. Insurance does not dictate what you do. Nor should it ever, but insurance can dictate what you get paid for if you are in network. If a procedure is not paid due to the plan’s limits you don’t have to eat the cost. Example: build ups Typically more money goes to the practice. You can see less patients for the same $ amount since your fees are not dictated. Better quality of life. Going out of network: What you will need: well trained staff, great verbal skills, and spectacular customer service.…
https://bonddentalbilling.com Pros and Cons In vs Out of Network: Being in a network is not this “bad thing”. Many dentists are in-network. I have a personal recommendation I would give my offices: Continue to practice as you are until it jeopardizes either your Quality of care or your quality of life . The second an insurance contract jeopardizes the dentistry you perform- drop them. The second their reimbursements rates are making you choose materials that won’t last as long, use labs that aren’t as good, drop them. The second being in-network causes your blood pressure to get out of control in order to keep up with the number of patients you must see each day. The second it causes you to lie awake at night. The second you're running around your office all day feeling like a hamster on a wheel instead of enjoying why you become a dentist, to help other, then drop them. More new patients are not worth jeopardizing your quality of care or quality of life. In-Network Pros: Great exposure for new patients, especially in an insurance driven world. This is especially true for new dentists who are starting from ground zero Talking to patients about their co-pays and bills is typically easier and more straightforward. Not as much as a guessing game. In-Network Cons: Renegotiate fee schedules every few years. Credentialing time. More staff time. They dictate at times the treatment you can perform. Pay attention to your contracts! If they don’t feel a service is necessary they won’t allow you to charge your patient. Low reimbursement rates which ultimately affect your bottom line. Which may lead to you having to decrease your individual time with the patient, work out of multiple rooms, and or change your materials used. https://bonddentalbilling.com…
