Many of our students are general dentists and practice administrators exploring the possibilities of billing medical insurance to see if it is a good fit for their office.
Training sessions are available Monday – Friday. Time slots are either 9:00am-1:00pm PST or 1:00pm-5:00pm PST. Requires computer with high speed internet along with camera and speakers. Access to a printer is helpful. Contact our office to check availability and book now!
It is important to note that medical insurance billing is a team driven process, therefore, it is beneficial for the clinical staff to take part as well.
Note: The intent of this class is not to teach students how to bill medical insurance with their current dental software system. There are many other ways of submitting claims, which include buying another software or outsourcing to a billing company. In this class, it is our goal to keep this process as simple as possible by keeping it in-house.
