How to Be Your Own Insurance and A/R Detective
Are your accounts receivables out of control? Does your insurance claims report weigh more than your desk? Learn to develop proven systems to track A/R more effectively and follow up on past due claims more efficiently without stressing yourself to the max. Design systems for collecting from patients without being perceived as the “bad guy”.
Effective Billing, Coding and Reimbursement…A Financial Manager’s Guide to Saving Sanity in the Dental Office
Nothing is more confusing than trying to sort through the maze of proper billing, coding and reimbursement procedures. Learn the proven techniques for writing a detailed narrative, documenting in the patient’s chart, how to use the dental coding systems to maximize reimbursement for your patients. Develop key communication techniques when dealing with insurance companies.
Scheduling…A New Twist on an Old Subject
Learn the 52 secrets of effective scheduling. It seems so simple, but it’s not. In reality you’ve got…last minute cancellations… procedures that take longer than expected…grumpy patients in the reception room…grumpier staff members blaming each other (or the dentist). Good scheduling guarantees happier doctors, staff, and patients. And…when everyone is happy, your bottom line will be healthier.
Office Management for a Happier, More Profitable Practice
Do you have written systems for practice management in your office? Are you consistently frustrated by your numbers? Do you know what numbers to track in your practice? Does your dental team know and share in your goals? These are questions that must be answered to insure a happier, more profitable practice. You will learn how to monitor your practice effectively through proven systems, streamlined scheduling, effective communications and internal marketing strategies. See the magic happen within your dental team right before your eyes!
PROFESSIONAL BACKGROUND:
23 years ago, when Lois began her career as a dental receptionist, she discovered simple practical methods for streamlining scheduling, resolving outstanding insurance claims and decreasing accounts receivable. With the help of her newly found techniques, she became financial manager of a large dental practice in Minneapolis. In this position she gained further insights…becoming an “insurance detective”, and accounts receivable expert, team-building counselor and internal marketing guru. Soon, other offices were contacting her for advice. As the financial administrator for a large, extremely profitable practice in Kansas City, Missouri. All of this “hands-on” experience has provided Lois a solid, practical foundation to help your practice.
In 1998 Lois Banta joined Linda Miles’ “Speaking and Consulting Network”, an annual workshop for independent speakers and consultants who want to enhance their communication skills to more effectively share their expertise. In 2000 Lois founded Banta Consulting, Incorporated, a company designed to assist dental practices in managing their offices while at the same time, de-stressing their environment. Lois is a member of the ADMC (Academy of Dental Management Consultants).
