ClaimX - Electronic Insurance Claim Management
ClaimX, an electronic insurance claim management and processor pioneered by ExtraDent, has been extensively tested by a few ODA members, and was given high marks for support, ease of use, integration with current practice management system, a noticeable reduction in claim processing times and a significant reduction in costs.
What is ClaimX?
ClaimX is a complete electronic insurance management system that works with over 60 different practice management systems. It will send dental insurance claims electronically for only 25 cents each. Did you know dentists are currently paying 45-55 cents for the same service ClaimX provides?
What are some other features of ClaimX?
ClaimX will print claims, store NPI numbers, check claim status, send eligibility requests, receive responses electronically, manage claims with Watchdog and integrate with NEA for electronic attachments (i.e. digital radiographs, periodontal charting). These services will help a dentist run his or her office more efficiently while saving on staff time and the cost of claims processing.
Why should a dentist switch to ClaimX?
The No. 1 reason is savings! Ask yourself, "Would I like to pay 25 cents per claim versus paying your current practice management software company's 45-55 cents per claim?" ClaimX provides the same services that the others provide, but for a lower cost – especially with the ODA member discount. ClaimX also provides additional services and features for no additional cost.
What are some frequently asked questions?
- Do I need high-speed (broadband) Internet access? Yes
- Does ClaimX work with my current practice management system? Yes
- Can I send Medicaid claims? Yes
- Can I call support if I have a question? Yes (and it's free)
- Can I submit digital radiographs and periodontal charting? Yes (NEA, Inc. is required)
- Are there any contracts? No
- Are there any set-up fees? No
- Are there any charges for installation, training, or support? No
- If I wish to stop using the service, is there a cancellation fee? No
- What is the fee per claim? 25 cents
How would a dentist get started?
Call ExtraDent at (866) 886-5113, Option 1. When speaking with a ClaimX representative, dentists should specify they are ODA members to receive the discount. The representative will fax the dentist a three-page Enrollment Package, which dentists can complete and fax back to ExtraDent.
In a few days, the office will receive a Welcome Package via USPS. In the package will be an installation/training form asking for a date and time that works for the dental office to complete the free installation/training. Fax the form back to ExtraDent, and an ExtraDent staff member will call the dentist's office on the requested date and time.
Dispensing Solutions - Dispensing In-Office to Build Revenue
Dispensing Solutions offers a convenient, proven method for supplying your patients with the medications they need at the time of their office visit. For over 20 years, DRx has been a trusted supplier of pre-packaged medications to physician's offices and clinics throughout the United States.
Increase Income
Dispensing is a great way to generate additional income for your practice. The net revenue per prescription dispensed typically ranges anywhere from five to twenty dollars. Depending on patient and prescription writing volume a physician can earn an additional $50,000 or more in income per year.
Increase Patient Satisfaction
Patients appreciate the convenience that in-office dispensing provides. Instead of making a separate trip to the pharmacy, patients who are ill, in pain, post-op, or just very busy can get their prescriptions filled in your office at the time of their visit. More importantly practices can save their patients money on medications. Patients without insurance can save significant dollars and most medications can be priced at or below the level of a typical co-payment, so even those with drug benefits will benefit.
Improve Compliance
In-office dispensing helps to improve patient treatment compliance. Studies indicate that as many as 20% of patients never fill their prescriptions. In-office dispensing ensures that patients have the medications they need at the point of care, increasing compliance and improving patient outcomes.
