MBC unearths Solution to the biggest woes of
Dental Billing for Practitioners across US
Wilmington, Delaware, April 29, 2014
Staying ahead in the competition is becoming increasingly difficult for dental
practitioners; considering the requirement to maintain high standards of care amidst
time constraints and increasing healthcare reform pressures. Recently MBC has been
helping numerous practitioners across US maintain high standards in dental care and
remain successful.
MBC dental billing experts believe that “the key to this lies in striking a balance between
providing good dental care services along with efficiently handling billing challenges”. To

manage this MBC has been trying to get to the root cause of concern by understanding
the main problem areas.
Identifying the most prominent dental billing woes –
 Dental vs. medical billing– distinguishing and billing for a procedure which
involves both medical as well as dental carrier is a highly frequent dental billing
challenge
 Dental-medical cross coding– involves establishing the medical necessity which
is very important for successful cross coding, requiring a suitable diagnosis that
appropriately determines the medical necessity of the procedure

 Dental insurance eligibility- nearly 75% of dental claims get denied due to
inaccurate assessment of dental insurance eligibility
 Updates frequency- dental codes in case of additions, deletions and revisions,
which are published in their respective manuals, need to be kept track of
regularly, as outdated codes will lead to rejection
 Issues- related to coding surgical procedures, appeals process, understanding an
EOB and medical carrier credentialing are also challenges faced during dental
billing
 Collections procedure – can be a little overwhelming due to the high number of
patients along with various type of procedures or tests requiring diverse codes
during billing

 Insurance payers- are constantly finding ways to deny claims which
considerably slows down the revenue process
Dental practitioners may also come across various other problems like – increasing
complexity of codes, shortage of well-trained billing staff, time constraints. MBC is
constantly working towards solving these problems; because if not handled
appropriately they may delay claim submission and resubmissions and result in under or
non-payments.

increase time spent on administrative tasks, counteract healthcare reform challenges
and increase their revenue.”
MBC has been helping counteract dental billing woes by-
 Accurate categorization of dental services under their various categories and
subheads in the billing system to ensure accurate payment settlement
 Providing accurate details of the treatment devised by the physician to avoid
unnecessary rejection of claim
 At times detailing can be directly proportional to the rate of payment hence
constantly working towards attaining the right level of detailing

 Accurate verification of patient’s insurance eligibility and constant checks done
of preauthorization number, deductibles, plan exclusions, claim mailing address,
policy status- ensuring minimum rejections
Dental billing requires accurate knowledge to be able to navigate through data, and
separate non-dental from dental and use appropriate codes to make accurate
reimbursement claims. MBC dental billers are well acquainted with American Dental
Coders Association (ADCA) and are also constantly updated with industry information,
coding tactics and skill sets required.
MBC has been providing flexibility to dental practitioners across US by offering
customized billing along with an Expert Accounts Manager, specializing in Dental
reimbursement issues, for fewer errors. While experts are handling the strenuous tasks
