Dentite

• Medical billing for dental, is billing private medical health insurance for medically necessary and/or preventive procedures, as an additive source to what dentists do today: private dental insurance, private pay, etc. In short, medical for dental billing does not cover what is exclusively dental (i.e. hygiene cleanings, fillings, root canals), but can cover what is also medical (i.e. exams, imaging, devices, surgeries).
• Medical insurance reimbursements typically pay much higher rates than dental insurance. You can usually “…bill to both dental and medical insurance, and be reimbursed by both—up to the full fee that was charged"
• Medical billing for dental typically has two different levels:
  1. Common procedures (i.e. oral exams, x-rays/imaging, night guards, sleep apnea) done by most dentists
  2. Uncommon and usually complex procedures, typically surgical in nature (i.e. implants, reconstruction, removals), done by specialists. Medical insurance reimbursements typically pay much higher rates than dental insurance.
• Medical billing for dental claims are typically treated as out-of-network and influenced by the principles behind preventive services coverage.

Dentite unlocks up to +12% incremental annual revenue for general dentistry practices performing common and frequent dental procedures (i.e. exams and x-rays).
