Patient Billing Made Easy: Watch How Automation Improves Dental Practices

Is collecting from patients giving you a headache? Save time, delight patients, and increase cash flow with automated patient billing. This replay of our Patient Billing Made Easy workshop will show you how.

Your patients, your team, and your bottom line will all love our DCS Patient Billing services. This automated solution provides a better patient experience, helps you collect more from patients, and eliminates the endless busy work that manual patient billing requires from your team.

Get the details straight from DCS Chief Marketing Officer, Pamela Wilson and Assistant VP of Strategy & Special Projects, Will Snipes, who recently hosted our online workshop called Patient Billing Made Easy. 

This 20-minute workshop dives into how automating your patient billing process not only improves your patient’s experience through convenience, but takes a load off of your team, and also increases patient collections. You can watch the replay of the workshop below. 

Key takeaways about dental patient billing services: 

• Dental patient billing can become a costly process if it isn’t expertly handled
• Automating your patient billing process will give you an instant influx of cash flow
• Patient billing automation will take a huge administrative load off your staff
• Automated patient billing will reduce supply costs for paper, printing, and postage

What’s wrong with the usual patient billing?

There are notable challenges when it comes to dental patient billing. Will Snipes discusses these in Patient Billing Made Easy:

“The challenge with the way patient billing is carried out today lies in the inefficiency and costliness of traditional paper billing methods. Physically, this means dealing with paper, printing, and postage costs. Emotionally, it involves the stress of waiting for payments and managing overdue accounts.”

Not to mention, talking with peeved patients about their bill. Clear and compassionate communication with patients is key, especially when it comes to the cost of their treatment.

If your team is so bogged down with other administrative tasks that they can’t: 1) make time to present treatment plans to patients, or 2) handle patient collections with care, then you can bet that it’s going to be a struggle to collect the patient’s full fee. 

If these patient billing write-offs happen often enough and for long enough, you’re going to notice deep dips in patient revenue and inconsistent cash flow. You’ll also find other tasks falling through the cracks because your team is preoccupied with following up with patients about outstanding balances. 

For everyone’s benefit, you want payments from patients to be quick and hassle-free — and for your team, hands-free. 

Your best solution: Automated dental patient billing

This is the crux of the Patient Billing Made Easy workshop: When you automate your patient billing, you collect more revenue faster with zero effort. 

At DCS, we sought to supply the dental industry with a solution that automates the billing process for busy dental teams, makes payments easy for patients, and ensures steady cash flow for dental business owners. It seems a bit too good to be true, but we made it happen.

When you watch the workshop, you’ll hear Will and Pamela dive into the features you’ll get with our patient billing services. Can you guess one of our customers’ favorite features?

It’s that the patient communications sent via text or email is branded to your practice, including your practice’s telephone number. And there’s a jaw-dropping bottom-line impact from this feature: 

“One feature that makes our solution stand out from our competitors is that our click-through rate to the payment link is 20% vs. the industry average of 2% — which means 10x more will people pay, and pay on time, when you use DCS Patient Billing instead of some other service provider.” —Will Snipes in Patient Billing Made Easy

You’ll also get to hear Pamela Wilson highlight the many benefits when you use our automated patient billing services, including: 

• The initial patient statement will be hassle-free for your team
  Patients are automatically contacted by text and email as soon as their balance is known
• You’ll enjoy a quick setup process
  Start collecting patient revenue within a week — usually in just a few business days 
• You can look forward to an astounding return on your investment
  Our hands-free automated patient billing service offers outstanding ROI! Even we can’t believe the numbers we are seeing.

If you’re wondering about the cost of our patient billing services, don’t worry: The workshop covers that too, along with ways to save and a special deal. Patient billing services start at just $700 per month and vary depending on your number of locations.

Remember, automated patient billing isn’t an additional expense. This is likely what you’re paying each month for the paper, printing, postage, and personnel required for manual billing — but you’ll get all the benefits of today’s technology.

Customer Marcia Stewart of Stephens and Burrell Family Dentistry loves what she sees from DCS patient billing: 

“Patient billing stands out the must for me. I love to see those extra monies coming in from past due accounts. Collection percent last month was 95% of production, which was up from this same month last year. I personally would recommend DCS to any office that is looking for a third-party billing. You guys are amazing.”

Spoiler alert: This workshop mentions a pretty sweet deal: If you already use DCS Insurance Billing, you can now add Patient Billing for only $500/month — our IB customers save $2,400.00 on PB over a full year!
