How can dentists cope with billing challenges?

In today’s healthcare industry, dentists face various challenges due to time constraints and lack of skilled staff. This affects dental billing, which is fundamental to the existence of any dental practice. If claims are not submitted on time, practices don’t get paid for the services rendered. Disrupted cash flow results in the inability of providers to get new technology, hire or train staff or make necessary changes to improve patient satisfaction. Therefore, many practices prefer outsourcing billing requirements to a third party.
