Pre-authorization

Pre-authorization, also known as pre-approval or prior authorization, is a fundamental step in the dental health billing process. It involves obtaining approval from the patient's insurance provider before initiating certain dental procedures or treatments. The primary objective is to confirm whether a specific treatment is medically necessary and covered under the patient's insurance policy.​

​

Benefits of Pre-Authorization​

​

  • Cost Predictability: Pre-authorization helps patients understand their financial responsibility by providing clarity on covered treatments, co-payments, and deductibles.​

​

  • Efficient Billing: By obtaining pre-authorization, dental practices can reduce the risk of denied claims and billing disputes, streamlining the billing process.​

​

  • Enhanced Patient Satisfaction: Patients appreciate transparency in billing and coverage, leading to improved trust in the dental practice.​

​

  • Reduced Administrative Burden: Pre-authorization reduces the likelihood of retroactive claims adjustments, which can save time and resources for both the dental practice and the insurance provider.​

​

  • Improved Treatment Planning: Dental professionals can make informed decisions about treatment options by factoring in insurance coverage, thus optimizing patient care.
