Your day is demanding, between organizing schedules, overseeing staff, advocating for your patients, and navigating insurance claim processing  .  \nTo help tackle your insurance battles we created this guide to dental claims processing.  \nEven if you are a master at working with insurance payers and keeping the books, these articles, code guides, and insider knowledge can guide you exactly to what you need to process claims faster and focus on what matters – your patients and practice  .  \nThis information guide covers the nitty-gritty of claims submissions:  \n• How to help keep claims from being rejected  \n• EOBs  \n• An insider look into clearinghouses  \nWe hope that this can serve as a reference point for you to tackle common issues with your claims  .  \nVyne Dental • Your Guide to Dental Claims Processing 3  \nSECTION 1  \nSubmitting Claims   \nHow a Dental Claim is Processed  \nProcessing claims are not only one of the most important parts of your daily routine, it can also be the most mysterious  . We spoke with some of our Vyne Dental claims geniuses at Tesia Clearinghouse, LLC,(“Tesia”) Vyne Dental’s industry-leading clearinghouse, to break down exactly what happens from the time a dental claim leaves your practice to when the check clears  .  \nFirst and foremost, there are many ways that a claim can be filed  . The most frequent methods are:  \n• Paper  \n• Payer Web Portal  \n• Practice Management Systems  \n• Partnering with a Clearinghouse  \nLet’s look at the path a claim typically takes in each scenario  .  \nPaper Submission  \nWhen a claim is submitted via a paper form, it’s the provider’s responsibility to mail it to the insurance company . There are a few things that can go wrong here  . If the dental claim isn’t filled out properly you could receive a rejection  . Also, there is a possibility of claims being lost or damaged in the mail  . It’s also the slowest of the four processing options in terms of approval time, though it is considered the traditional way to process claims  .  \nPayer Web Portal  \nWhile this is one of the cheaper options, it’s by far the most demanding in terms of time  . Every claim requires you to navigate each insurance company’s website and enter each one by hand  . In terms of your busy day and labor costs, this is one of the least efficient methods of processing for a high-volume office  . It also does not increase your chances of getting paid faster compared to using a practice management system or partnering with a clearinghouse  .  \nVyne Dental • Your Guide to Dental Claims Processing 5  \nPractice Management Systems Submission  \nPractice management systems are likely oneof your most trusted tools . They are great for keeping track of patients and your practice’s schedule, and you can even submit your claims directly through most of them  .  \nThere is a caveat  . Using only a practice management system costs roughly 50 cents per claim in addition to an attachment processing fee; which means the average dental practice spe","cbCaibGV6lQLSS06","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibGV6lQLSS06","pdf",660880,25,"English","# Introduction\n# SECTION 1 - Submitting Claims\n## How a Dental Claim is Processed\n## How to Read a Dental Claim\n# SECTION 2 - Knowing Your Clearinghouse\n## What is a Clearinghouse?\n## 14 Things Insurance Companies Want Dental Offices to Know\n# SECTION 3 - Resolving Claims\n## Top 6 Reasons Claims are Rejected\n# SECTION 4 - How to Use EOBs and ERAs\n## Understanding EOBs vs ERAs\n## Digital EOBs: Saving, Storing, And Sending","[{\"question\":\"What are the main ways dental claims can be submitted?\",\"answer\":\"Claims can be filed by paper, through a payer web portal, via practice management systems, or by partnering with a clearinghouse.
