What is a Dental A/R Health Check?

It is a comprehensive analysis of your accounts receivable to identify old unpaid claims, high denial rates, and cash flow bottlenecks.

Why is my collection rate low?

Low collection rates are often due to unappealed claim denials, lack of follow-up on aging accounts (over 90 days), or errors in initial claim submission.

Why Monitor Your A/R Health?

The health of your dental practice isn't just about patient care; it's about financial stability. Accounts Receivable (A/R) represents money owed to you for services already rendered. When claims age beyond 90 days, the likelihood of collection drops significantly.

Identify Bottlenecks: Pinpoint exactly where your billing process is stalling (front desk, insurance verification, or coding).
Reduce Denials: A high denial rate often points to systematic errors in claim submission that can be easily fixed.
Improve Cash Flow: Accelerating the payment cycle means more capital for equipment, staff, and growth.

Common Questions About Dental RCM

What happens if my A/R over 90 days is too high?

Claims older than 90 days are notoriously difficult to collect due to insurance filing limits. If this number is high (over 10-15% of your total A/R), you are likely losing revenue that may need to be written off.

How do you calculate the Denial Rate?

We divide the total dollar value of denied claims by the total dollar value of claims submitted within the same period. A rate above 5-10% indicates issues with verification or coding accuracy.
