INFORMAZIONI SU QUESTO EPISODIO
In the wild world of Dental Billing, here is one reason for dental claim denials that makes us irrationally angry every time we see it.
Not because it's complicated.
Not because insurance did something sneaky.
But because it's 100% preventable.
Timely filing.
(nooooooooooo)
The denial that basically says: “You did the work… but you waited too long to tell us about it.”
(which suuuuuuuucks)
Which means the treatment was completed, the claim existed, the revenue was earned…
…and then the deadline passed.
Money gone.
In Episode 27 of The Truth Decay Podcast, Sara Baker and LaRae McMullen break down one of the easiest revenue leaks in dentistry — and why so many offices still fall into it.
Because timely filing isn’t really about insurance rules.
It’s about SYSTEMS. (Baby, spoiler alert: it's always about systems.)
When claims sit for weeks…
When rejected claims aren’t monitored…
When no one checks the unsent claims report…
That’s when deadlines quietly pass and thousands of dollars disappear. poof
In this episode we cover:
• What timely filing actually means
• Why deadlines vary wildly between carriers
• Why in-network offices can lose 100% of the revenue
• Why out-of-network offices face brutal patient conversations
• And the simple systems that make timely filing denials almost impossible
Insurance companies already have plenty of reasons to deny claims...
In dental billing, we got 99 problems every day.
Don't let timely filing issues be one of them.
