There are 89 days left in 2012. That means that your patients have exactly 89 days to use their insurance benefits before they lose them. I know I’m not the only person that would be upset if I let my insurance benefits just disappear, after all, they are paid for. On a side note, for most dental practices insurance payments are the “bread and butter”. Insurance income is what helps your practice run. How would you like to increase your insurance revenue? The last quarter is the perfect time to do it with Practice-Web’s Treatment Plan Analyzer.
The Treatment Plan Analyzer is a feature that will find your patients that have outstanding treatment plans and compare the treatment to the amount of insurance benefits your patient has remaining.
Once you set your filters based on the types of procedures you want to concentrate on performing for your patients. The Analyzer will create a list.
Now you can contact these patients with a postcard, letter or email, right through Practice-Web. When it comes to notifying patients that they have benefits remaining, having a feature like the Treatment Plan Analyzer, will greatly reduce your overhead because you are not wasting time, postage, or stationary on patients that aren’t eligible for treatment. When you are able to quickly and efficiently notify your patients that they can still receive necessary treatment, they will schedule their appointments.
If you want to make sure that your patient is truly eligible, you can also use Real-Time Eligibility Check by DentalXChange. With one mouse click in Practice-Web, within seconds you will receive notice if the patient truly has those benefits remaining, just in case they had seen another dentist during the year and didn’t notify you. Real-Time Eligibility Check is less than $20 a month and will help you earn thousands of dollars. If you would like to call the patients to notify them of their remaining benefits but just don’t have the time, you can use PromptCalls Reminder system. For just 25 cents per call, the automated system will call all the patients on the list for you.
It’s quick, easy and there is no excuse for you to have an empty appointment schedule in the last quarter of the year. If you would like a personal demo of how these features work, don’t hesitate to call support.
Happy Appointment Scheduling 🙂
