Insurance verification is the process of verifying the patient’s eligibility, active benefits and coverage with the insurance companies to prevent billing issues.
For any dental practice, successful billing is entirely dependent on correct and complete dental insurance verification (IV). Owing to the increase in the number of people getting insured, it has become difficult for several practices to manage the dental insurance verification (IV) workload in-house.
Our experts undertake the process of verifying patients’ eligibility, active benefits, and coverage with the insurance company for you. To prevent claim rejection, it is important to get dental insurance verification done before rendering services as there are chances of the patient’s benefits being outdated, patient having incorrect information or the policy being terminated or modified. Any such information could get the claim denied.
Our experts work round-the-clock to obtain information from insurance providers through their website or fax. They also call them regularly to get every patient’s history as it affects treatment planning. They take care of all these tasks so that you can focus on your patients without any worry.
Dental Insurance Eligibility Verification is all about assessing a patient’s active coverage with the insurance provider. It also involves verifying the eligibility of their insurance claims. To ensure approval of the claim, a verification process is done before the patient has already started up with the treatment and other processes.
