- EFT payments: To facilitate EFT payments, you provide us with the necessary EFT deposit numbers. We use this information solely to retrieve an Explanation of Benefits (EOB) and post the payment. We do not have access to your bank accounts or engage in financial transactions. By utilizing EFT payments, you can benefit from faster payment cycles and reduce the time and effort required for manual check deposits.
- Checks: For check payments, you can scan or electronically submit Explanation of Benefits (EOB) documents to our team. We will accurately and efficiently enter the payment information into your software, ensuring that your records remain up to date. This eliminates the need for physical check handling, mailing, and mitigates the risk of lost or delayed payments.
- Credit card payments: If your practice accepts credit card payments from insurance companies, we do not handle the actual credit card transactions. Instead, your practice independently processes the credit card payments using your preferred payment gateway or terminal. We assist by posting the payment in your system. If you decide to opt out of credit card payments, we provide assistance with this process at no additional fee.
- Time Savings: Our remote payment handling eliminates the need for physical handling of money, such as checks, and simplifies the EFT payment process. This saves valuable time for your practice, allowing you to focus on providing quality patient care and attending to other essential tasks.
- Accuracy and Efficiency: With our experienced team, you can rely on accurate entry of payment information into your software. Our expertise ensures that your financial records are up to date and reflect payments received correctly, minimizing errors and discrepancies.
- Reduced Administrative Burden: Managing payments can be labor-intensive and time-consuming. By outsourcing this responsibility to us, you can alleviate the administrative workload for your staff. This frees up their time and resources, enabling them to concentrate on core patient care and essential practice management activities.
- Cost Efficiency: Remote billing with Dental Pro HQ eliminates the need to hire and train inexperienced employees solely for payment processing. This reduces costs associated with hourly wages, benefits, resubmitting denied claims, and handling non-payments. Opting for our services provides a cost-efficient solution without the overhead expenses of maintaining an in-house payment handling team.
- Secure Payment Handling: We adhere to strict security protocols to ensure the safeguarding of sensitive financial information. By minimizing physical check handling and utilizing secure electronic methods for payment processing, we help protect your practice and maintain the confidentiality of your patients' data.
