Vyne Dental Welcomes Thomas Mort as Director of Product, Clearinghouse Services

Indianapolis, IN, February 17, 2022 —  Thomas Mort brings more than 20 years of advanced dental B2B experience to his new role at Vyne Dental, where he will be responsible for the integration of Vyne’s clearinghouse solutions. Most recently at Availity as Product Line Manager for Eligibility and Benefits, Mort was also with EDI Health Group for 16 years, where he oversaw the development of their entire line of product applications. 

“My passion is building solutions that work across parties; my job is to make the connections easy, clean, and comprehensive.” Mort’s vision for his new role is two-pronged: to bring the collection of Vyne’s many product lines together in an easy-to-implement fashion for dental providers; then to streamline the integration piece back to the payer. “I like to design solutions that are comprehensive yet easy to understand.”

Mort is deeply involved with industry organizations including the National Dental EDI Council (NDEDIC) and the Work group for EDI (WEDI), and has participated in working committees for TAQH Core, and the National Association of Dental Plans (NADP). Currently, he is a representative for X12, the group chartered by the American National Standards Institute to develop and maintain EDI standards to drive global business processes. “The more we can standardize solutions, the easier they are for all parties to implement.”

Vyne Dental Partners with Information Capture Solutions Committing to Streamline Payers’ Claims Processing

The partnership brings together two industry leading companies committed to streamlining payers’ claims processing, whether they originate on paper or electronically.

 

INDIANAPOLIS, IN – Feb. 11, 2022 Vyne Dental®, the leading provider of revenue cycle practice management solutions, and electronic health information exchange for all-sized dental practices and payers, announces that it has partnered with Information Capture Solutions (ICS), a national  leading provider of dental mailroom outsourcing solutions. ICS promotes the reduction of the costs of paper claims management and outsourcing for dental payers. 

 

Vyne Dental provides one of the leading revenue cycle and claims management solutions, helping facilitate more efficient and effective transactions between dental payers and providers, processing   millions of claims annually.  ICS, meanwhile, currently processes thousands of outsourced paper claims per day for dental payers, including working with some of the largest dental payers in the country. 

 

ICS has served dental payers since 2010 and has since expanded to help dozens of insurers across the industry. Based in Kentucky, it also serves as an outsourced mailroom environment for new data capture via paper. ICS provides claim form identification, data capture and conversion, business rule verification, claim data exportation and claims process streamlining. 

 

Vyne Dental has over 20 years as a leader in providing dental software, claims clearinghouse and revenue cycle management solutions. Its solutions are currently employed within dental practices across the U.S., and it’s connected to more than 800 dental plans. By partnering with Vyne Dental, ICS can connect with one of the largest payer networks in the industry. In addition, Vyne Dental’s payer partners can leverage their existing Vyne Dental EDI connection to connect with a full-service claims management outsourcing provider that specializes in managing the collection and conversion of paper claims and supporting documents.

 

“By partnering with ICS, we’re able to help dental payers reduce or eliminate the challenge of processing insurmountable large amounts of paper and other documents that must otherwise be collated, sorted, and converted before they can enter the claims review cycle,” said Stephen Roberts, president of Vyne Dental. “Our internal clearinghouse processes millions of electronic claims, so with ICS, our payer partners can quickly receive an EDI conversion of paper claims – still quite prevalent in dentistry — eliminate mailroom expenses and substantially reduce overhead related to processing paper claims.”

 

ICS collates and prepares for processing up to 20,000 claims per day with room to process five times that amount. Despite a push toward electronic-only claims, paper claims continue to persist. Reports indicate as many as 16% of all claims include a paper component.  

 

“For ICS, the partnership with Vyne Dental is a logical expansion to support clearinghouse services,” said Ray Shears, Vice President of ICS. “We really look to provide solutions to improve the claim submission process for our payers, by providing robust mailroom outsource solutions to fill any gaps in their current paper to EDI operations. 

 

“By leveraging ICS’ strengths and Vyne Dental’s expertise and clearinghouse power, we can help streamline claims management and implementations for everyone in dental care, from practices to payers,” Roberts said. “With the power of Vyne Dental’s solutions and ICS’ expertise, we’re confident that this partnership will be one filled with service and success to payers and their members.”

8 Steps for Faster Dental Insurance Claims Processing

There’s no doubt that dealing with dental insurance is a pain point for many dental practices. The sheer number of dental consultants that claim you’ll be better off if you stop taking insurance entirely is proof of that. However, for most practices, that’s not practical. Not to mention, for many patients dental insurance can be the difference between being able to pay for treatment and allowing problems to fester.

But delayed and denied claims impact your practice’s financial health, and can impact patient satisfaction if they result in unexpected bills. With that in mind, here are 8 steps for faster dental insurance claims processing.

Step 1: Verify eligibility ahead of time.

The first step to process dental insurance claims more quickly is to verify eligibility ahead of time. Get that done before the patient comes into the office and you’ll reduce paperwork and billing headaches. With the  Vyne Trellis platform(™), there’s no need to sit on the phone – verification can be done electronically to save even more time.

Our secure paperless solutions* also make it easy to request updates from patients before their appointments via SMS or email.

Step 2: Get the coding right.

If your insurance claim isn’t coded correctly, the insurance company will more than likely decline to pay it.  Then, you’ll have to start the process all over again. Refiling not only increases claims processing time, but it can also cost your practice money in refiling fees.

Insurance codes change annually. Vyne Dental offers regular online events to help you stay on top of changes in coding procedures and dental insurance trends. See our events here.    

Step 3: Double-check patient information.

Obviously, you want to make sure you’re filing with the right insurance company. Make sure you’re verifying with the patient every time. This is especially important right now, as the ongoing pandemic may have led to lapses in regular appointments as well as changes in employment for many patients.

Getting all of the correct information (patient name, address and social security number) as well as the correct subscriber ID will help you avoid related errors that could cause delays in processing.

Step 4: Ditch the paper forms.

It’s not the 90s anymore, so if you’re still filing by mail or by fax, make 2021 the year you ditch the unnecessary paper and say goodbye to snail mail. Going paperless improves office efficiency and makes it faster to submit dental insurance claims for processing.

Delta Dental cites ‘incomplete, inaccurate, unreadable or outdated forms” as one of the top 10 reasons claims get delayed. An electronic claims processing solution can greatly reduce these issues.

Vyne Dental’s solutions work with your practice management system to make submitting claims easy and fast. Additionally, you can track the claim and its status while it’s being processed.

Step 5: Include all relevant information.

Dental insurance companies frequently require additional documentation to validate insurance claims. This can include anything from X-Rays to charts to narratives explaining why patients need a given treatment. Including everything the insurance company is likely to ask for in the submission of the initial claim reduces the amount of back-and-forth and speeds up payment. 

It’s important to note that dental insurance companies may delay or deny coverage if X-Rays and other information are the wrong size or submitted in the wrong format.

Vyne Dental’s FastAttach(R) solution makes it simple to send all necessary attachments electronically safely and securely.  

Step 6: Call for help if you need it. 

Nobody likes calling insurance companies, but it’s often the fastest way to get claims issues resolved. Dental insurance companies frequently have representatives available to answer questions regarding eligibility and claims during business hours. If you’re having trouble getting your claims processed correctly, call for assistance.

If you’re using Vyne Dental, our support team is also here to help whenever you get stuck.

Step 7: Go on autopilot.

Integrate your dental practice management system with your claims processing solution. This reduces errors and speeds up claims processing even more. 

Vyne Dental’s solutions work with most major practice management systems to help your practice run more efficiently.

Step 8: Evaluate your claims processing procedures regularly. 

General advice is all well and good, but the secret to faster claims processing is to find the advice that applies to your practice.  Do you know where the pain points are in your practice’s claims process? What are the most common reasons your claims are delayed or denied? By reviewing your own internal processes regularly and looking for ways to become more efficient, you can fix existing problems and nip new issues in the bud as they arise.

Not sure where to start? The team at Vyne Dental is here to help!

Vyne Dental Acquires Dental Plan Eligibility Software Maker Onederful

The deal pairs Vyne Dental’s web-based dental practice billing platform, Vyne Trellis, with Onederful’s real-time benefits eligibility engine that structures disparate and complex payer response data.

 

INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 13, 2021 — Vyne Dental®, a leading provider of revenue cycle, claims management, and electronic health information exchange for all-sized dental practices, announces that it has acquired Onederful, Inc., a suite of APIs that connect to hundreds of dental payers companies for eligibility and benefits, claims and electronic remittance advice (ERAs). 

 

The Onederful solution set provides dental practices the ability to efficiently verify patients’ insurance coverage levels, determine eligibility and benefit levels and follow up with payer’s real-time statuses through its API.

 

Most importantly, Onederful solutions will be paired with Vyne Trellis™, a comprehensive, web-based dental billing platform designed to help dental practices improve and manage their revenue cycles and exchange encrypted health information.

 

Onederful’s solutions connect  to more than 240 payers. Its strength lies in its ability to collect eligibility benefit information from payers in a standardized and structured manner no matter the payer’s information formatting or how it is conveyed to practices. 

 

With Onederful, providers receive the same formatted response from payers in the structured manner in which they hope to consume data that otherwise would be an unstructured and copious mess.

 

By utilizing Onederful’s API ecosystem, dental practice leaders enjoy each payer’s fully digital experience when they service patient plans. The solution’s benefits include patients not receiving a surprise bill, practices collecting payments faster, and payers not receiving phone calls from practices.

 

According to Stephen Roberts, president of Vyne Dental, Onederful standardizes and files patient eligibility data in a synchronized way no matter the payer, patient, or practice. Similarly, every payer’s data is standardized for the practice so that every patient’s data is in the same format. 

 

“By adding Onederful to the Vyne Dental portfolio, we’re continuing our mission of becoming the foremost provider of fully automated revenue cycle management solutions in all of dentistry,” Roberts said. “Onederful joins a successful roster of innovation, alongside our other, recent acquisitions, including Renaissance Electronic Services, LLC, Tesia Clearinghouse, LLC, and OperaDDS. With Onederful, we are one step closer to accomplishing this goal.”

 

By acquiring Onederful, Vyne Dental continues to establish itself as the industry leader in end-to-end information exchange and communication management solutions for healthcare, serving more than 74,000 dental practices.

 

“Onederful is a special technology that normalizes the response data and maps it into structured fields,” said Vance Taylor, Vyne Dental’s vice president of sales and marketing. “Regardless of how much or how little information a payer gives a practice, that data is parsed, mapped, then rendered in the same format for all payers regardless. So, if I’m tracking eligibility responses, I know exactly where to go to discover exactly the information I need.”

Don’t Miss the 2022 CDT Coding Update with Teresa Duncan

2022 is almost upon us, and you know what that means- CDT insurance codes are changing again! That’s right – the codes change every year. If you want to make sure your office stays up-to-date on current best practices in dental insurance coding, you can’t miss the 2022 Dental Coding Update webinar with Teresa Duncan, powered by Vyne Dental!

Back by popular demand, the 2022 Dental Coding update webinar is designed to help your insurance coordinator (and the rest of the team) understand the latest updates to the CDT, as well as recently enacted and upcoming legislation that could impact how your practice processes claims. Here are 5 reasons you can’t afford to miss out. 

Get the scoop on insurance code changes in 2022

Using out-of-date or incorrect codes is a surefire way to get claims denied. In 2022’s coding webinar, Teresa will review all of the CDT changes for the coming year, including: 

  • 16 additions
  • 6 deletions
  • And a variety of revisions.

 

Also, if your office is still confused about the COVID vaccine codes that were added mid-2021, have no fear. We’ll cover those, too. 

Most of this year’s additions relate to removable prosthetics, screenings, and sleep apnea appliance management. There are also coding changes related to splints and public health-related codes for vaccines.

Stay ahead of relevant legislative trends

Pending legislation is another concern for dental practices. It’s challenging for busy professionals to keep up with proposals as they move through both houses of Congress. That’s why Teresa is tracking legislative trends including network transparency laws, noncovered services laws and potential changes to Medicare and Medicare Advantage.

 

Teresa says, “Medicare Advantage has proven to be very confusing for insurance coordinators. It’s not always clear what type of plan offices are dealing with, and so I’d like to try to make that a little bit more clear. I’ve been getting a lot of questions regarding dental being offered as part of Medicare in general, and I’d like to give some direction about how to best plan for that.”  

Learn how to compensate for staffing shortages

Since so many practices are experiencing staffing shortages, Teresa will also review procedures that can streamline insurance efficiency. She says, “The shortage of trained personnel has really been difficult in 2021. I hope to give some tips on how to mitigate this in 2022.” 

Learn how Vyne Dental can help your practice succeed

Vyne Dental staff will be on hand to give you the latest and greatest information about Vyne Dental, their products and how they can help with insurance claims processing.

Get the whole team on board

This webinar takes a “train the trainer approach”, so your insurance coordinator will come back ready to help the rest of the team with the latest insurance coding knowledge, tips and tricks. 

Plus, once you register for the webinar, you’ll have access to the recorded version of the webinar and the FAQ PDF, so you can review the webinar at any time! 

Save the date (if you haven’t already). This course is in high demand for a reason! Here are the details, we hope to see you there!

Vyne Trellis: The Evolution Continues

Vyne Dental is committed to helping you improve your dental practice’s revenue cycle with its comprehensive set of solutions to streamline eligibility, expedite reimbursements, and improve communication with your patients and your team.

 

The Vyne Trellis™ platform is an end-to-end dental billing solution that provides dental claims management, including simple, integrated electronic attachments, batch and real-time eligibility and benefits, with connections to hundreds of insurance payers, all in one intuitive, easy-to-use solution.

A few of Vyne Trellis’ most innovative features include: 

  • Batch and Real-time benefit plan eligibility verification to reduce the time practice team members spend on the phone with payers — office managers and billers receive verification of patient benefits within seconds through the Vyne Trellis web-based platform; 
  • A robust electronic attachment submission solution , that’s connected to more than 800 payers across the country;
  • A feature-rich portal that integrates a practice’s submitted, processed, and paid claims, supporting attachments and documentation, and eligibility status — to each patient and their respective payer; and
  • Intelligent validation engine to identify potential errors, such as missing subscriber IDs, claim form information, attachment requirements, and patient and provider detail, before electronically submitting claims to a payer — reducing rejected claims, creating efficiency in the billing workflow, and accelerating reimbursements back into the practice.

 

Vyne Trellis continues to evolve

Vyne Trellis continues to evolve and, in so doing, redefine what “revenue cycle management solution” means to the dental practice.  Earlier this year Vyne Dental strategically expanded its portfolio to add simple, customizable electronic forms, text and email reminders, on-line reviews, and secure communications, including email and inter-office chat.  This strategic shift allows dental practices on Vyne Trellis to initiate the electronic, automated interaction with their patients much earlier in their journey, thus ensuring a timely resolution to all revenue collection attempts, while simultaneously improving patient experience, reducing friction, and cutting costs. 

 

Vyne Trellis eligibility and benefits verification

The Vyne Trellis real-time and batch eligibility feature helps any dental practice reduce the amount of time spent on manual interactions with payers. The instant claims validation system also identifies potential errors on submitted claims, like a missing insurance subscriber number, before submitting  documents to your payers. 

Thanks to this intelligent feature, you’ll reduce your practice’s rejected claims, as well as speed up adjudication and drive revenue for the practice. 

Verifying eligibility is tedious and time-consuming, but it’s a crucial step toward ensuring your practice’s financial success and enriching patient relationships, and Vyne Trellis makes it more manageable!

 

Vyne Trellis automated eligibility

In most major Practice Management Systems, Vyne Trellis can see subscriber details, the patients’ carrier, provider, and appointment information and send an eligibility request automatically, eliminating your need to check manually. This saves your team time by reducing the manual entry of patient details to send a request to payers before a scheduled appointment date.

Furthermore, automated eligibility verifies eligibility for patients with a scheduled appointment in your supported practice management software three days before a scheduled appointment. It enables staff to view responses without manually sending a request. 

The new eligibility design offers easy searching and filtering by rows. This feature is currently available for Open Dental customers, with Dentrix and EagleSoft integrations coming shortly. This feature alone is one of the most well-understood and frequently endured pain points in any dental practice. Vyne Trellis helps eliminate it!

Additional new Vyne Trellis features

In addition to Vyne Trellis helping streamline every aspect of your practice’s revenue cycle and automating your claims management, the solution now features several new, cutting-edge tools to help power your practice. Specifically, we’ve made the most common searches available in a single dashboard to shave minutes off of your workflows each day, but we’ve included many other important features:

 

  • Electronic Patient Forms We’ve added our newly acquired OperaDDS solution features into the Vyne Dental(R) portfolio, including its secure communication and form creation capabilities. For example, forms and form creation are electronic and fully customizable – virtually any form of any kind can be created for any purpose. 

 

  • Text and Email Reminders In addition to the simple, yet powerful electronic forms, OperaDDS adds a robust reminder system with automated texts and emails to help ensure patients are confirmed for their appointments and show up on time!

 

  • Secure email* Vyne Dental’s secure email solution is also built right in. So it’s the perfect and safe way for your practice to communicate sensitive and personal health information with specialist providers and patients. 

 

  • Patient Reviews With the integration of OperaDDS, Vyne Dental now allows your practice to manage its online reviews from patients. Positive reviews are automatically funneled to the review boards. Reviews from patients that rate below a certain threshold (negative reviews) are routed directly to the practice manager to address any potential issues. 

 

  • Intra-office chat Vyne Trellis now includes an intra-office chat feature that allows practice employees to communicate inside the practice quickly on a multitude of devices, including your smartwatch! Doctors can see when patients are ready, if there is an emergency in the waiting room, or even if lunch has arrived. Internal chat capabilities help remove workflow friction present in most dental practices today and is a proven productivity booster! 

 

Built with feedback from real users

These latest features from Vyne Trellis result from our industry understanding, experience, and direct, real-time feedback from users. We maintain multiple feedback loops with users and are always on the hunt for insights and priorities as we continue to invest in our solutions.

Along with all of these high-impact developments, Vyne Dental continues to add more payer connections to support our eligibility responses and ensure electronic connectivity for all of your claims and attachments. As the number of connections grows, the better our solutions can serve the needs of your practices. 

Vyne Dental currently has more than 800 connections to dental insurance payers and, as a result, we help your claims get paid more quickly and  efficiently.

Ultimately, Vyne Dental is helping to alleviate pain in the dental practice revenue cycle management. Providing access to real-time eligibility, for example, keeps you better informed on patient plan maximums, deductibles, and their care utilization. In addition, it can verify whether some procedure codes are covered under a patient’s benefit plan – important to reducing the daily minutia.

Vyne Trellis is exceptionally user-friendly and allows billing managers to monitor  claims from their dashboard, creating tremendous efficiency for the entire practice. At Vyne Dental, we aim to help you improve nearly every facet of your administrative demands so that you can continue to focus on patient care.

Section 179 allows you to deduct the full cost of certain assets you purchase for your dental practice, instead of having to wait for these assets to depreciate.  You probably already know that items like dental equipment and office furniture are deductible. But did you know that business software is eligible, too? 

According to Dimension Funding, the 2021 deduction limit for Section 179 is $1,050,000, with a spending cap of $2,620,000. This deduction is available for new and used equipment as well as off-the-shelf software. 

But there’s a catch- if you want your practice to be able to claim these deductions on your 2021 taxes, all purchases must be ordered and placed into service before the clock strikes midnight on New Year’s Eve. Time is running out for 2021 Section 179 purchases, and if you miss the deadline, you can’t claim the benefit until you file your 2022 taxes!  

You can also carry this deduction forward- if you’re not able to use all of your Section 179 deduction in one tax year because your business expenses exceed your business income, then you can carry that balance forward into future years until it is used up.

This Section 179 deduction was created to encourage small business owners like yourself to invest in new business tools, including technology. You can think of Section 179 like this: it’s a boon for dentists who want to modernize their practice in every respect, whether that’s through better imaging or electronic claims processing and patient communication. Section 179 is designed to help businesses accelerate purchases that provide a real day-to-day benefit. 

To keep your practice thriving, it’s important to get the most out of your investments, and claiming Section 179 benefits allows you to do just that. 

 

New year, new software? Make efficiency the New Year’s resolution for your dental practice. 

 

Upgrading your dental practice software in time for tax season allows you to take advantage of Section 179 benefits. And by doing so now, you can devote the holiday season to onboarding and start 2022 off with a more efficient and productive practice. 

For example, if you invest in paperless solutions powered by Vyne Dental, you’ll be able to take advantage of automated, electronic solutions for filing insurance claims. That saves your practice time, makes life less stressful for your staff, and helps avoid delayed payments.

Doesn’t that sound like the perfect way to start off 2022? We think so, too. To streamline your claims processing, increase your revenue and claim your deduction on this year’s taxes, contact us today

Secondary Claims – Adjustment Information: A Quick Update from the Solutions Team at Vyne Dental

Have you noticed a recent uptick in secondary claim rejections?  You’re not alone, we’ve seen it too, and we’re here to help.

 

Here’s what we know so far.

There is a growing list of insurance carriers that are requiring that claim adjustment information be included on secondary claims. Additionally, the current ADA claim form does not provide a dedicated field for financial information related to secondary claims.

 

What does this mean for you?
If an insurance carrier now requires this adjustment information on all secondary claims, they may reject any secondary claim that’s missing it. 

 

So what can you do about it today?

Vyne Dental can help support the successful submission of your secondary claims, to insurance carriers who require adjustment information, by submitting the required information in the ‘Remarks’ field on said claims. 

 

Here’s how:

    1. Send the claim to the Queue and navigate to the Procedures Tab
    2. Enter the Primary Payment in the box provided; and enter the adjustment information in the remarks section: (see examples here)
    3. We’ll send the required information, electronically, on your behalf along with the rest of your claim data, to the insurance carrier.

 

Here’s a peek into our long-term strategy for a more permanent solution.

Vyne Trellis will detect that a secondary claim requires the adjustment information and automatically add it for you, reducing manual entry and error.
