The dental world is constantly changing, and it’s hard to keep up. You want your dental practice to be the best it can be, but it’s difficult to stay on top of the ever changing details about insurance rules, running the practice and CDT coding. Those three challenges are enough to make anyone feel caught in an uphill battle where too often the insurance company wins.
Knowledge is crucial to a smooth-running billing process that pays you, not the insurance company. As an outsourced dental billing company, we see all kinds of practices with different billing problems and we certainly see the need for more coding education. It’s not like you’re learning this in dental school!
We share this knowledge at Dental ClaimSupport, in a weekly newsletter called the Dental Post & Core covering all of these topics.
In this article, you will learn the benefits of subscribing to the Dental Post & Core and what kind of valuable information you can get from it to improve your dental practice.

If you know us, you know we are an outsourced dental billing company committed to helping you eliminate insurance strain at your practice. Our remote billers take care of the insurance side of your dental billing to help you close claims, bring in more money, and focus on the patient care instead of spending time on hold with insurance.

By working on the billing process with so many practices since 2012, Dental ClaimSupport has streamlined and standardized the process of insurance billing.
In the Dental Post & Core, we share our latest articles from our Learning Center. We have articles covering aging reports, best times to send claims, basic insurance terminology and more. We even have an article covering fee schedules (yep, we cover even the most specific topics). All of these articles contain important information that can help you learn as much as you can about the billing process in order to bring in more revenue for your practice.

Having a clear and organized billing process is crucial for a successful dental practice. This is knowledge that we will always share with everyone, even if we don’t work together.
2. You will get the latest information on CDT coding
Ah, the dreaded CDT code set It’s complicated, it’s always being updated, and staying on top of the details can be tedious. However, as you know, correct coding and documentation are necessary to understand. Unfortunately this is another area vital to your success that you don’t learn in dental school. That’s why Dental Claims Academy is a unique educational resource for those trying to stay up to date on dental coding.
In the Dental Post & Core, you will get any and all updates on Dental Claims Academy, including our upcoming webinars covering topics from CDT coding, to compliance issues management, to coordination of benefits.
