Dental Billing Services
CDT coding, attachments and narratives, PPO write-off tracking and aged AR, inside your practice software.
Imagine the convenience of optimizing your revenue without chasing after multiple insurance companies. Plenty of billing companies promise to run your whole revenue cycle. Finding one with a clean track record is the hard part.
Dental claims fail for reasons medical claims never do. A missing radiograph attachment. A narrative that does not establish necessity. A frequency limit nobody checked. A downgrade clause that pays a composite at an amalgam rate. Our dental billing services send the attachment with the claim, rather than after the denial.
If you are comparing one dental billing company with another, ask how write-offs are tracked. A PPO write-off is contractual and correct. A write-off caused by a missed frequency limit or an unsent narrative is lost revenue wearing the same label. Only one of those two should be growing.

What makes dental billing its own discipline
Dental claims use a different code set, a different form and a different set of plan rules from medical. Practices that treat it as medical billing with different codes lose money in predictable places.
Plan design does more than the code
Three limits decide most dental payments, and none of them are about clinical need.
- Annual maximumA ceiling on what the plan pays in a year, often reached by autumn on a restorative case.
- Frequency limitsHow often a cleaning, an examination, radiographs or a crown replacement are payable. Exceed them and the claim denies whatever the clinical reason.
- Waiting periodsNew members frequently cannot claim major work for months. The treatment plan is fine. The timing is not.
All three are visible at the breakdown of benefits stage. A practice that checks eligibility but not these three is finding out after the crown is seated.
Predeterminations for anything large
For crowns, bridges, implants, perio surgery and orthodontics, send the treatment plan for a predetermination before starting. It is not an authorisation and it is not a guarantee, but it tells you what the plan expects to pay and it gives the patient a real number instead of an estimate.
Attachments are usually the reason for a denial
Dental claims for major work need supporting material: radiographs, periodontal charting, intraoral photographs, and a narrative saying why this treatment on this tooth. A narrative that repeats the code description adds nothing. One that names the failed restoration, the caries under it, or the pocket depths, gets paid.
When the medical plan should be billed instead
Some dental work is medical: surgical extractions in certain circumstances, treatment after trauma, oral appliances for sleep apnea, biopsies and some implant work following an accident. Those go to the medical plan on a medical form with medical codes, and they usually pay better. Most dental practices never bill them because the workflow is unfamiliar rather than because they do not qualify.
Dental Credentialing
Dental billing and dental credentialing are different jobs. A practice that bills well but sits on the wrong PPO mix is still losing money. So if you are comparing dental medical billing services, dental insurance billing services or dental billing outsourcing services, settle the credentialing question first. We credential dentists and associates with Delta Dental, MetLife, Cigna, Aetna, Guardian and United Concordia. We handle the CAQH and ADA profile. And we link associates to your existing contracts, so their work is billable in their first week instead of 90 days later.
We also check the fee schedule against your top 25 CDT codes before you sign. The discount that matters is the one on the procedures you do. See dental credentialing services.
