Ecare India helps to overcome the challenges in Dental verification and billing that most of the Dental Practices face when compared to other Medical billing Practices.
Dental Verification
It is very important to handle Dental verification to ensure patient’s insurance plan covers dental services especially high cost procedures, whether it needs prior authorization to avoid revenue loss for the provider after performing the service.
Ecare provides summary sheet after verification and it would be very helpful for the front desk staff to collect co-pay/deductible/non covered service upfront even before performing service which will help in reducing Patient AR.
Ecare provides complete breakdown of benefits for each insurance plan once in start of every year & update the information in PM system and use the same for patients under same employer group which will help you to save time and also reduce cost by just obtaining the eligibility for patient with existing insurance plan.
Other benefits of verification before performing service is, provider can go for budget plan with patient for non-covered procedures.

Dental Coding:
Unlike the usual medical coding process that requires the CPT (Current procedural terminology), Dental coding differs completely and requires CDT (Current Dental terminology) along with its unique set of codes been submitted to the Dental insurances. Dental Coding broadly falls into three categories: Diagnostic, Preventive and Restorative.
Ecare’s Dental Coding Team understands the nomenclature of each codes and has the required expertise in the clinical side of it. Also, claim submission is done through J400 form which is exclusively for dental claims. With all these differences set from the usual coding process, Ecare’s Dental Coding team follow certain protocols to make the coding error-free and in getting the claims paid accurately and timely.
Our expertise help in creating customized encounter forms for the dental practices, based on the categories of the dental services performed. This makes documenting part easier for providers so that they can concentrate on treating the patients without missing the needed documentation.
Accuracy in coding is the key and our team achieves it by our internal methodologies and with reference, our team use while coding the dental reports such as the Tooth chart related to the age of the patients, Dental cross-walk and so on.
Ecare’s Dental Coding Team is highly proficient in analysing the report and educating the providers, on the documentation and revenue augmentation and the focus is commonly on the procedure performed date and necessity, Area of oral cavity, Tooth system, Tooth numbers and surface with missing tooth information and the list extends.
Dental Billing:
Dental verification services are very crucial and time sensitive service, which our team understands and has been successful in providing it seamlessly for several dental offices.
Effective and timely communication is important for prompt delivery of dental service. Dental offices often try to schedule appointments in advance so that the doctors get to plan their day. The offices will also support the walk-ins and will have to do a spot verification of benefits offered by the patient’s dental plan so that the services rendered does not turn out to be non-covered.
Ecare’s dental verification team specializes in doing a detailed benefit break down and/ or a limited break down as mandated by Dental offices. It is important to exercise an eye for detail and good listening skills to ensure we capture the correct information pertaining to benefits, last treatment dates, frequency of coverage and the age limits for a specific type of service.
Ecare uses an internal tool “Verificare” which aids efficient distribution of work orders to the team. The work orders are prioritized based on the appointment date and time and is delivered back to the client by filling up the forms in either the practice management system or any proprietary system used by the Dental office. Our internal auditors are highly experienced in obtaining the benefit break down and thus exercise stringent measures in ensuring the accuracy of the information obtained by the team.
Our eligibility verification team saves your time by helping you create proper Insurance plans and clean claims leading to improved revenue, faster cash flow, and enhanced patient satisfaction.
