In this week's episode, Ericka talks about how important it is to explain your patient's dental benefits. Our patients do not understand how their plans work and we need to do a better job at explaining how we calculate their co-payments.  Listen in as Ericka shares how she used to explain plan benefits to her patients when she was a Treatment Coordinator. 

Higher case acceptance starts with helping your patients understand their dental benefits as it builds trust through transparency. 

We hope you enjoy this episode!

Calculating patient co-payments can be tricky if you don't understand the formulas. The 3 basic formulas are deductible, downgrades, and downgrades with deductibles. In this episode listen in as Ericka walks you through how to calculate a patient's co-payment. 

You will want to have a calculator handy as this was a live training she did via zoom. If you would like to watch the video go to the link in her Instagram bio where she has a PowerPoint for the training.

What do you do when only a few items on the claim were paid? How do you resubmit the items that were either denied or need additional information? 

In this shortie episode, Ericka talks about splitting claims. This helps control insurance account receivables, automatically generates a new claim for the items that were not paid, and closes the original claim so it does not sit on your insurance account receivable report.

In this episode, our host, Ericka Aguilar, talks about how she stumbled onto creating this episode as a result of researching dental billing audits. Her plan was to discuss the many different types of audits a dental practice may encounter and how the audits are triggered (stay tuned for this episode). Instead, she started thinking about how an office can benefit from the 6 part framework she and her team use to help start-up offices build out their billing departments in order to avoid many of the billing errors and pitfalls most offices face. 

If you are starting a practice then you are going to want to listen in! 

We also suggest that you listen to Episode  Ericka's interview with Ben Tuinei- "How to Charge for Upgrades" as another resource.

Today we are talking about how to read an Explanation of Benefits. Especially if you are posting payments. As Ericka mentions in today's episode-not all EOB's are created equally. The language used by each insurance plan varies. Can we all agree that it would be so much easier if there was a universal explanation of benefits? 

Listen in as we discuss the breakdown of an EOB, the revenue cycle, and obtaining dental benefits.

Side note:
As most of you know, Ericka has a dental management company that has a few offices under its belt. She recently purchased a dental laser for the full-time hygienist in the Carson, California office (Shout out to Alex! This training was a game-changer! As a management company, we thought we knew enough to improve hygiene performance. Friends! We could not have been further from that truth! Elaine taught us so much about speaking to the patient about the disease and not the laser in order to increase case acceptance. As a result, we are selling the laser to almost every patient that comes through our doors.
