- 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.
- 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.
