We provide a range of dental billing services that make it easier for any dental practice to collect what they are owed. Our thorough process includes:

Dental Billing Eligibility Verification
Crucial information pertaining to deductibles, co-insurance, effective policy date and other coverage details are collected for efficient dental billing eligibility verification. We verify all this information so that we know that the claim that we are filing for payment is 100% eligible.

Document Authentication
It is one of the most important aspects of dental billing as only when the invoices, case files and other relevant documentation are vetted can they be used to fill the information in the claim.

Data Entry
It is essential to enter data systematically after it has been vetted. Information like demographic details of patients, dentist details, code sets used among other needs to entered in the right manner. At Capline, our experts are well versed with the latest billing softwares that assist in data entry and processing of dental claims.

Explanation of Benefits (EOB’s)
We share detailed explanations of benefits that contain necessary information about the amount the healthcare insurance provider paid as well as the payment patient is responsible for if any. Other items included in EOBs are deductibles, co-payment options as well as items excluded from the insurance plan.

Pre-authorization services
Pre-authorization is the process of getting prior approval from the insurance company as well as what the estimated cost of treatment for the patient is going to be.This helps both the patient as well as the dental provider learn beforehand what the insurance company will reimburse and is quite useful in getting maximum insurance benefits.
