Medivanced’s Dental Medical Billing Services are specifically designed to address the unique billing needs of dental practices that frequently provide services covered by medical insurance. We understand the complexities of “medical necessity” documentation and the crossover between dental and medical coding for procedures such as oral surgery (e.g., wisdom teeth extraction, jaw repair), sleep apnea devices, TMJ disorders, and certain diagnostic imaging. Our expert team ensures that your dental practice receives accurate and timely reimbursement from both medical and dental insurance carriers. We manage the entire complex billing process, allowing your dentists and hygienists to focus on patient care while we expertly handle the financial and cross-coding aspects.
Medivanced manages the complete credentialing and enrollment process for dentists seeking to bill major medical insurance carriers (like Medicare and commercial plans). This is crucial for being recognized as an in-network or out-of-network provider for medically billable dental services. From application preparation to diligent follow-ups and necessary renewals, we ensure your dentists are successfully enrolled. We stay current with all payer-specific regulations and compliance standards concerning the medical necessity of dental procedures. Once approved, we integrate their credentials seamlessly into our billing system, ensuring efficient claims submission and uninterrupted revenue flow from medical insurers.
Our certified coders are specialists in dental-to-medical cross-coding, proficiently applying the most current ICD-10 (for diagnosis of medical conditions affecting the mouth, jaw, and throat), CPT (for surgical procedures), and HCPCS codes alongside standard CDT codes. Whether it involves billing medical insurance for impacted wisdom teeth removal, bone grafts, pathology lab services, or non-odontogenic pain management, we ensure that every service is accurately captured and billed according to the most advantageous payer-specific guidelines. By strictly adhering to modifier rules (e.g., -50 for bilateral procedures) and documentation requirements that justify medical necessity, we significantly reduce claim denials and maximize appropriate reimbursement for cross-over services.
Medivanced provides end-to-end Revenue Cycle Management (RCM) for dental practices with a medical component, overseeing every step from verifying patient medical and dental eligibility to final payment posting. Our proactive RCM approach actively identifies potential revenue leaks, improves the accuracy of charge capture (especially when dual billing is involved), and meticulously tracks critical Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) such as denial rates for medical claims, days in AR, and collection efficiency across both insurance types. We are dedicated to stabilizing your practice’s cash flow by maximizing collections from both medical and dental plans.
Our specialized denial management team works diligently to recover revenue from denied or underpaid claims, particularly those rejected by medical carriers due to lack of medical necessity or improper coding. We continuously monitor rejected claims, accurately identify the root causes of denials (e.g., using a dental code on a medical claim form, missing operative report, or pre-authorization issues), and implement rapid corrective measures. We efficiently resolve issues by appealing and providing the necessary clinical documentation to quickly recover lost revenue. We also provide comprehensive denial analysis reports, offering valuable insights into common rejection patterns to help your clinical team improve documentation and reduce future denials.
