Preparing and mailing paper claims is far more costly than transmitting them electronically. Even if you aren't currently set up for electronic claims submission, mail costs savings alone should nearly pay for the system in just one year. You'll be more efficient. Electronic claims submission is faster and your staff will have more time to devote to your patients and for other responsibilities.
Electronic claims ensure greater accuracy, because of built-in checks on claims submission.
This means fewer Information Requests or other hold-ups in the processing of your claims. And, in the end, faster claims processing means faster payment to you. Because most dental offices are already computerized, it's just a matter of a software program and a clearinghouse. Using a different address will delay the claim. Some clearinghouses will print paper claims and mail them to us when this address is not used, which also delays the processing and your payments.
