Frequently Asked Questions
Direct and transparent answers to your questions.
1. What is "medical billing for dental"?
- Medical billing for dental, is billing private medical health insurance for medically necessary and/or preventive procedures, as an additive source to what dentists do today: private dental insurance, private pay, etc. In short, medical for dental billing does not cover what is exclusively dental (i.e. hygiene cleanings, fillings, root canals), but can cover what is also medical (i.e. exams, imaging, devices, surgeries).
- Medical insurance reimbursements typically pay much higher rates than dental insurance. You can usually “…bill to both dental and medical insurance, and be reimbursed by both—up to the full fee that was charged"
-

- Common procedures (i.e. oral exams, x-rays/imaging, night guards, sleep apnea) done by most dentists

Our Customers
Dentite makes implementing medical billing for general dentist's a breeze. It's an easy initial set up and then they do all the heavy lifting. The only thing we have to do is collect patients medical insurance cards and enter the checks and payments, Dentite does the rest. It's been a huge benefit for our office and for our patients.
We had been doing medical billing at our office for several years through other medical billing companies, put in enormous time and effort to make it work but eventually gave up because we weren't seeing results. Then we heard about Dentite, thought we would give them a try and couldn't be happier. In just a few months, they have achieved better results billing medical than we had in all our previous years.
Initially, I was nervous about Medical Billing because I had no experience. But with Dentite, we’ve seen great benefits for our patients, and we didn’t have to change how we run our practice. The onboarding was smooth, and the results have been great.
