Reduce dental claim denials
Teero reduces dental insurance claim denials by verifying coverage before the visit and posting payments every business day, so a denial shows up while it can still be corrected. Teero then works aging claims, denials, secondary claims and appeals at 2% of insurance collections with an $800 monthly minimum, and claim submission stays with the office.
How to reduce claim denials
| Step | What to do |
|---|---|
| 1 | Verify before the visit. Confirm the patient is covered, then record the benefits breakdown the visit will be billed against. On Teero, eligibility checks are free and a full breakdown is $5. |
| 2 | Submit the claim from the office. Claim submission stays with the office, close to the patient and the chart. A breakdown written into the PMS before the visit is what the claim is built from. |
| 3 | Post payments every business day. Post EOBs, ERAs, checks and virtual card payments through a PMS connection into Dentrix, Dentrix Ascend, Eaglesoft and Open Dental. A denial that sits unposted is a denial nobody is working. |
| 4 | Work the denial. Correct and resubmit a denial you can fix. Appeal the ones you cannot, before the payer deadline. When the primary pays, send the secondary claim. |
