Restfull is an all-in-one solution that can manage the billing and administrative aspects of your practice.
As dentistry becomes more competitive due to consolidation and saturation, dentists have turned to dental sleep medicine (DSM) to differentiate themselves from their peers; and as recently as 2022, the National Library of Medicine (NIH) reported 66% of responding dentists were involved in DSM. While some have found success in treating sleep disorders, most dentists find the shift to sleep challenging. While most dentists have taken a basic sleep course, few have delivered a successful appliance. Still, fewer have ever been paid for any of their work in sleep. So what’s the solution?
Here are our 3 top strategies to secure a thriving dental sleep practice.
Get Properly Credentialed and Set Up in Your Payer Portals
One of the most frustrating challenges sleep dentists face is getting properly reimbursed for their treatments, resulting in lost revenue from incomplete reimbursements or denials altogether. 99 times out of 100 when we audit credentials with Restfull BI, we typically see the following two things: usually they aren’t credentialled appropriately and their payer portals aren’t set up correctly. Commonly, it’s the likely combination of both so it’s important you go through the right processes to avoid any losses. You could be the best sleep dentist in the world, but without getting properly reimbursed, your practice won’t be successful.
Go Beyond Sleep Through Medical Billing of Common Surgical Procedures
Some of the most successful players in the stock market amassed their wealth by diversifying their portfolios, and the same concept applies to dentistry. Although implementing sleep is one way to diversify your income streams, you can take it further with medical billing. Gaining a comprehensive, operational grasp of medical billing can enable you to maintain a profitable practice by maximizing your reimbursements both legally and quickly.
