Managing billing in a modern dental practice is more than just sending claims. It is a critical function that directly affects cash flow, patient access to care, and operational efficiency. For practices in the U.S. providing medically necessary treatments like TMJ therapy, oral surgeries, or sleep apnea appliances, the need to navigate both medical and dental billing adds another layer of complexity.
GoodX offers a solution. As a cloud-based practice management platform trusted since 1985, GoodX empowers dental professionals to manage their clinical and billing workflows within one integrated system. This guide explores how GoodX helps U.S. practices simplify dental medical billing, increase reimbursement success, and enhance the patient experience.
Understanding Dental Medical Billing
Certain dental procedures, while performed in a dental setting, are medically necessary and may be eligible for medical insurance reimbursement. This includes treatments such as:
- Sleep apnea appliance therapy
- TMJ (temporomandibular joint) dysfunction treatment
- Specific oral surgeries affecting general health
Successfully billing these procedures requires correct diagnosis coding, appropriate documentation, and a system that supports cross-functional workflows. GoodX addresses this with intuitive billing tools, ICD-10 diagnostic coding, and streamlined claim management capabilities.
