A complimentary webinar with Colleen Huff
Presented by Vyne Dental, Tuesday October 25, 2022, 1pm EDT

Dental insurance plans change every year, and Medicare Advantage plans are no exception. One major change over time is in the amount of coverage offered. According to Colleen, four years ago, only 40% of Medicare Advantage plans offered comprehensive coverage. Today, 70% of them do. That means more senior patients have multiple options when it comes to dental care. A dental practice that understands the ins-and-outs of Medicare Advantage plans is well-positioned to attract senior patients.

“It’s important to understand what Medicare Advantage means,” says Colleen Huff, “There’s a lot of misinformation out there. Be aware of who you’re listening to.” Colleen Huff, a dental insurance consultant with almost 30 years of experience in the industry, has trained dental teams and taught educational seminars across the country. On Tuesday, October 25th at 1pm EDT, Colleen will lead a complimentary webinar hosted by Vyne Dental: Medicare Advantage Plans: Helping Your Senior Patients. 

Colleen’s webinar will give participants a thorough understanding of what Medicare Advantage plans are, how they work, and how attendees can find out what plans are available in their own areas. Knowing what’s available locally means practices can be confident in their participation and proactive in their customer service. “The plus is there’s a lot more comprehensive coverage for seniors out there – more than just cleanings and exams,” says Colleen. “But that also means there’s a lot more confusion as to how it works, especially on the part of patients.”

Colleen will take attendees through the kinds of Medicare Advantage plans that exist today – how they work and how they pay, and reveal what’s new in the marketplace. “I’ll share statistics about how the market has grown and changed,” Colleen says, “And discuss the political and economic context of potential changes this year and next.” Finally, she’ll examine what the industry might see in the future. 

“Being prepared for Medicare Advantage plans is a customer service issue,” says Colleen. “Ten thousand people turn 65 every day. With the senior population swelling, every year a higher percentage of our client base will be retired, and on a fixed income.” Knowing what to offer and how to clarify coverage is a distinct advantage for a dental practice. “You can be fair and profitable and still be helping your patients – patients who might otherwise end up elsewhere, with a lesser quality of care.”

Vyne Dental partners with Weave to make data seamlessly accessible

Indianapolis, IN, September 16, 2022  Vyne Dental is proud to announce a new technology partnership with Weave.  Vyne Dental’sⓇ revenue management solution combines easy-to-use technologies on a unified  powerful platform. Now Vyne Dental is expanding their reach by partnering with Weave Communications, Inc. (Weave), the cloud-based platform driving technological transformation and business stability, to deliver real-time Eligibility & Benefits with a seamless API.

OnederfulⓇ, Vyne Dental’s real-time Eligibility & Benefits API, is embedded directly into Weave’s cloud-based platform. “Most clearinghouses are built on older EDI technology,” says Karen Taylor from Vyne Dental. “With Weave, our API enables technology driven, cloud-based companies to verify insurance through their own platforms, with no need to learn outdated legacy technology.”

Reaching one of the largest collections of insurance payers in the industry, Vyne Dental’s new partnership with Weave automates the offices’ process of insurance verification. “APIs have already transformed major industries,” Karen says. “They make data seamlessly accessible to your consumers where they are, and create better and stickier customer experiences.”

Vyne Dental’s goal has always been to reduce cost, pain and friction for patients, providers, and payers. When Eligibility & Benefits is automated with APIs, patients get fewer surprises, payers’ workflows improve, and providers save valuable time.

Vyne Dental continues to advance the dental industry by providing smart technology to improve workflow, reduce administrative costs, engage patients, and streamline reimbursements. For more information visit https://www.onederful.co/.

The last three years have seen a massive surge in online education, in terms of both offerings and adoption. Out of necessity, during the pandemic many people became used to the idea of learning online. Whether school students or working adults, whether via live webinars or recorded asynchronous courses, millions went online to further their education and professional development. 

Continuing education is integral to dentistry. Technologies and procedures are constantly being refined and improved, and CE courses are the best way to stay on top of all the changes. But professional development isn’t limited to the clinical side of dentistry: office managers and insurance coordinators also have to adapt to rapidly changing tools and techniques, all while keeping a busy practice running smoothly.

Luckily, there are organizations to help. AADOM, the American Association of Dental Office Management, is a comprehensive educational resource for anyone seeking to learn more about  dental practice management. They offer courses, webinars, and even a conference. 

Vyne Dental regularly offers complimentary webinars to help dental office managers and team members keep abreast of recent and important developments in practice management. Teresa Duncan, insurance expert and educator, stresses the importance of continually striving to advance professional development.

“The thing is, insurance changes a lot,” Teresa says. “Not only do codes change every year, but every plan has different guidelines. And every year those guidelines change – you have to find out what the new guidelines are for processing each policy for each carrier. If you don’t take classes or courses to keep up with this type of thing, you may be operating on rules that are years out of date.”

Each year, Vyne Dental and Teresa present a free CDT Coding Update in January, followed up by a Mid-Year Insurance Check-In. A consultant, speaker, and trainer for decades, Teresa is passionate about helping team members keep up to date. “There are so many plan design changes. Medicare Advantage plans can be designed very differently than traditional dental plans. For instance, in a traditional plan, X-rays and evaluations may be in one category, typically at 100%. Some MA plans will split them up, X-rays at 80% and evaluations at 100%. If you were unaware of the influx of Medicare Advantage Plans into the dental industry, you would be very surprised by how unusual they seem.”

As technological and clinical processes continue to evolve, it is more important than ever to remain up-to-date. After all, professional development is not only good for the individual, it’s also good for the dental practice as a whole. “Imagine a dentist coming out of dental school and never taking another clinical or materials course,” says Teresa. “The whole workflow would become stale, antiquated. And it shows an unwillingness to learn which is not what anyone wants in a flexible insurance coordinator.”

This year, the American Association of Dental Office Management Conference will be held Sept. 8-10 in Scottsdale, Arizona. Vyne Dental is proud to announce we’ll be participating as both a sponsor, and exhibitor at booth 201.

Teresa Duncan, insurance expert and educator, will be one of the conference’s many outstanding speakers. Over the years, Teresa has watched AADOM grow in size, scope, and impact.

“There are so many great classes and sessions – you’ll learn about all sorts of things you didn’t even know you needed to do. But you don’t have to implement everything all at once. Pick your projects and prioritize them. And expect to make new friends: you’re going to want to keep in touch!”

The AADOM conference gives dental practice management professionals the chance to really concentrate and learn more about the business, while connecting with other like-minded team members and recharging their energy with three days packed full of office management workshops, education, and networking opportunities.

Vance Taylor, Chief Growth Officer for Vyne Dental®, will also speak at the conference. Vance has steered the rapid growth of the Vyne Trellis® platform by introducing technology solutions to remove friction and pain points for dental billers. Drawing on more than twenty years of technology leadership in the dental industry, Vance will discuss the evolution of billing in the Saturday morning session, Dental Billing: The Past, Present and Future. 

This program enlightens our understanding of the multiple pitfalls, friction points, and inefficiencies inherent in the dental revenue cycle, is a must for any dental billing professional or office manager. Begin with a foundation of understanding in how we got here, then dive into the current state of the industry, as it pertains to dental billing tools and technology, and, finally, let your imaginations run wild as Taylor unveils the long-overdue solutions to these age-old challenges and the innovative technologies that will pave the way for a future of billing without boundaries.

“For two decades, we’ve essentially been doing the same thing when it comes to claims submissions. Now it’s time to overcome the challenges of the past, and get a glimpse into the future.” Automated technological options can not only make the process faster, but also more convenient, and more complete. “See what the future has to offer. It’s finally happening now.”
