New feature helps eliminate the need for manual entry of patient information when verifying insurance

Relieving front office staff of time-consuming tasks and simplifying their workflows is a priority for Vyne Dental.  Vyne TrellisⓇ  automated eligibility verification allows front office staff to spend less time on the phone manually verifying insurance. This feature helps eliminate the need for manual entry of patient information when verifying insurance, allowing you to simply view the insurance carrier’s response to the automated request.  Business News Daily reports that the automation of traditionally manual tasks minimizes errors, streamlines communication, empowers employees, and increases office efficiency and productivity. 

 

How does automated eligibility work?  

Patients with a scheduled appointment and applicable insurance information within the patient management system (PMS) can have eligibility automatically verified three days before their appointment date. To view the response and options to Print/Save the information as a PDF:

• Click on “Eligibility” (located on left sidebar) 
• Select “Appointments” (date will default to today or you can select a different date)
• The Appointment Date, Patient Name, Carrier, Status, and Last Verified Date will display
• Click on “Last Verified Date” to view the response 

From the moment patients schedule their appointments to the time they leave a dental practice, time-saving solutions like the Vyne Trellis automated eligibility verification feature can empower front office staff and help ensure patients have a pleasant experience.

Each year brings new CDT coding changes: it’s vital to get these right so you can set your practice up for success. When it comes to getting the details right, award-winning insurance expert and educator Teresa Duncan has your back. On Tuesday January 10, 2023 at 1pm ET, Teresa will present her popular annual CDT Coding Update webinar.

Teresa’s first major goal is to spread awareness about the incoming changes. “There are 22 new codes, 14 revisions, and 2 code deletions,” she says. Using obsolete codes will lead to frustrating delays. Teresa will explain the additions, deletions, and revisions in context, so dental billers can see how each fits into the evolving insurance landscape.

But there’s more to the update webinar than the basic numbers. “Some of the biggest changes have to do with guided tissue regeneration, full mouth radiographs, and full mouth debridement. I’ll focus on what those imply for the practice in general.” Both the administrative and clinical staff have obligations to ensure claims are properly submitted, so Teresa will also share best practices to bring the whole team, front-office and back-office, up to speed.

Teresa will touch on the proliferation of Medicare Advantage plans, and what that might mean for your practice. She’ll also explore the current legislative environment, and the implications it might have for insurance in both the short and long term. “It’s important to know what could be coming to a Congress near you,” she says.

With years of experience, Teresa is able to discern larger trends and sift out granular detail. “Carriers are much more specific than they were before,” she explains. “That can be problematic for us, on the administrative side. But when you understand the context, the changes aren’t so frightening. The most important thing is not to freak out.”

The CDT Coding Update is always in high demand. Register today for your chance to attend this complimentary webinar hosted by Vyne Dental, and ensure your practice is on track for 2023 right from the very beginning.

Responsible for both product and engineering, Malik will also oversee quality assurance, security and compliance.

Renowned for his considerable engineering skills and his ability to manage teams, Malik hails from the Greater Boston area.  With 29 years of experience as a technologist leading product development teams, Malik intends to build on his competencies to help Vyne Dental improve processes and drive sales with effective messaging.

 

Malik has spent the last four years working in revenue cycle management for the healthcare industry. He welcomes the disruption the industry is facing. “A lot of revenue recognition is still done by paper, by faxes, statements, letters mailed to homes and insurance carriers. Changing that process is what I enjoy – that’s what I’m here for.”

 

With oversight of a large and growing team, Malik’s position takes a 360 view: he must plan ahead for the future of development; keep an eye on the present to ensure products are advancing as required; and also stay aware of past performance in order to effectively provide support. “How do you define goals across the company and make sure those goals are distributed across organizations?” he asks. “That is my main task. I enjoy empowering people in that direction.”

 

Integrating products together is one of Malik’s top skills, another is integrating teams. “I believe people are your core asset, that make or break you.” He was attracted to Vyne Dental both for the technical challenge and for the personnel. “I knew we could be partners, could work towards our common goals. They are very open in a collaborative way.”

 

Malik will pursue two main initiatives as CTO. The first is improving all aspects of automation. “I want to make sure we are constantly optimizing for our customers to execute the functionality we offer. How can we move the process from 10 steps to seven to two?” His next, equally important priority will be the application of AI to the first steps in the claims adjudication process.

 

Vance Taylor, Chief Growth Officer of Vyne Dental, is excited to have Malik on board. “With his background and experience developing point solutions and revenue cycle management technology, Vijay will be extremely valuable in our execution of the bold vision we have for disrupting the dental RCM technology space.”

The American Association of Dental Office Management (AADOM) connects, educates, and empowers dental office managers and leaders across the country. AADOM was created to provide dental administrators with the resources and support they need most to help their practices thrive. Now AADOM has opened a new chapter, the Dental Spouse Business Network, to meet the particular needs of dental spouses.

Beverly Wilburn, office manager for Dr. Karl Smith, DDS, LLC, joined AADOM in 2006. “Knowledge is power: Continuing Education helps us perform our jobs better.” Beverly also wanted to become a better leader.  In 2022, Beverly was acknowledged as AADOM’s Practice Administrator of the Year: she is now the first Chapter President of the Dental Spouse Business Network (DSBN). 

“Spouses have unique challenges compared to other office managers. Not more, but different.” Beverly recognizes that many spouses want a deeper level of understanding in regard to dental business operations because practice revenues affect their household incomes and future life goals. Previously part of a private group, she was inspired to develop the DSBN into a full-fledged AADOM chapter after the pandemic started. “We had some truly fantastic bonding experiences on zoom facilitated by AADOM admins team, which we carried over to the AADOM conference in Orlando in Sept 2021.”

After pitching the idea to AADOM, Beverly was given the opportunity to lead the new chapter. The DSBN will have four meetings per year: one just prior to the AADOM conference, two virtual or hybrid meetings, and one in-person meeting. Since their members hail from all across the country, the chapter will choose different meeting locations each year. “Our goal will be to grow the network and also our local city chapters. The AADOM conference is the not-to-miss big show, but the chapters are where the magic happens.”

That magic includes connection, education, and practical support. “We want to be the go-to resource for product suggestions, for learning, for support, and for each other.” Beverly understands the many varied roles dental spouses play in modern practices. “I for one am very hands-on in performing the day-to-day tasks of administration. Some spouses play more of a CEO or CFO role; others play a smaller role in the practice and a larger role at home supporting their dental spouse. But we all often find ourselves making decisions that affect the bottom line.”

Vyne DentalⓇ is a proud founding partner for the Dental Spouses Business Network.  A member of AADOM and guest speaker at dental industry conferences, Amy Mendoza Leonor, Vice-President of Marketing at Vyne Dental believes in the power of collaboration and participation from all audiences of the industry. “We look forward to supporting and growing this chapter. We hope members gain a space that feels like a community and that Vyne Dental can be a reliable resource for driving growth in their dental practices.”

Beverly encourages dental spouses looking for education, information, or support to join the new chapter, regardless of the specific role they play in the practice. “We have all types of personalities and experience levels in this group. Some are shy, some boisterous, some gurus, and some are newbies. We even have a few legends. Join us and find those connections. We are here for you!”
