\"FrustratedFee negotiation<\/strong>. If you\u2019re a dentist who regularly treats people for sleep apnea, then you\u2019re all too familiar with this process, or rather, your front desk team is. When it comes to dental medical billing, you want your practice AND your patients to get the absolute most that they can from their medical insurance, but companies sure don\u2019t make it easy. It\u2019s almost impossible to just call them up on the phone, and even if you do get a hold of someone, your only reward is negotiating money when you\u2019d rather be helping patients.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, there are ways to streamline this process so everyone can get exactly what they want: you\u2019ll be fairly compensated for your services, your patients will save on a treatment they need, and your team won\u2019t have to spend half the day on the phone to make it happen.<\/p>\n

Fee Negotiation Made Easy<\/h2>\n

Something that many dentists may not be aware of is that insurance companies do not pay dentists the same amount for their services<\/a>. Some dentists may receive 10-20% more from an insurance company depending on how they negotiated their fees. Upon hearing this, you may be motivated to get on the phone with the insurance providers you work with, but good luck getting anything done! Gone are the days when you could just call up your local representative and have a chat.<\/p>\n

Truthfully, medical insurance companies are all about saving money for themselves, so they\u2019re more than happy to make you AND your patients wait if you\u2019re asking for more. What usually ends up happening is some poor member of your front desk team spends half their day waiting on the phone when they could have been helping patients, and then you have to negotiate the fees yourself when you\u2019d rather be doing just about anything else. Besides, you\u2019re not a professional negotiator, you\u2019re a dentist! This isn\u2019t your area of expertise, and you just feel uncomfortable with the entire process.<\/p>\n
