    In this difficult time every penny count.

We provide the tools and insights to achieve your business objectives. LSI Med Billing is geared to do just that – help you improve your business. Statistically dental and medical billing outsourcing improves your cash flow and collections and reduces the costs and headaches of employee problems which can save you around $59,900 per year. What you can expect:

    • Increase Cashflow
    • Save on the high cost of equipment and software as rapidly changing technology translates into extra expenses
    • Reduce staff size and employees expenses
    • Eliminate sick pay, vacation pay, insurance benefits, workers' compensation, etc.
    • Eliminate training costs
    • Eliminate labor legal issues
    • Reduce call volume

    LOWER EMPLOYEE COSTS
    Besides salary, there are payroll taxes, FICA and insurance, and the cost of administering and accounting for these. Plus, when your dental and medical billing specialist is sick or on vacation, you still have to pay them. Instead take advantage of our experienced dental and medical billing services leaving you to focus on what is important - your patients!
    GET PAID FASTER
    The struggle between payers and providers over insurance compensation continues to escalate as payers apply more resources toward reducing their reimbursements. Insurances benefit from not paying you promptly. It is how they manage their cash flow. Miscoding and errors cause rejected claims and delayed payments. Our expert dental and medical billing processes ensure accuracy and thus insurance reimbursement. The LSI Med Billing process, from data entry to claims submission, ensures your checks come in faster. We do the job right from start to finish.

    SOLVE HUMAN RESOURCE PROBLEMS
    Dental and medical billing outsourcing resolve multiple staffing problems. A major problem with in-house billing services is management, turnover, retention, and practice growth.

    REDUCE PAYER DENIALS
    Our collection system includes aggressive, effective denied claims appeal. This not only increases cash flow but also lets the insurance industry know your facility is unwilling to accept denials as a routine cost of doing business.
    The Managed Care trend in the health care industry has resulted in a staggering increase in the number of payer denials. The estimated number of denied claims has increased to 28% over the years. Discounting this impact is not a luxury most practices can afford given cost-constrained healthcare management.
    We use our vast experience in the dental and medical billing industry to implement strategies that reduce denials. While appealing denials is part of our process, we actually help solve denial problems rather than just addressing them.

    REDUCING EMPLOYEE TURNOVER WITH DENTAL AND MEDICAL BILLING OUTSOURCING
    On-going employee turnover is a common problem for many practices. When a dental and medical billing leaves, your cash flow is compromised. Inexperienced dental and medical biller’s make errors. Even experienced dental and medical billers new to practice make errors - errors that at the minimum delay payment. Training dental and medical billers to learn your practice particulars is an inefficient use of your time and is resource training for other staff members. Dental and medical billing outsourcing avoid these problems altogether. When your receptionist quits it is a problem. When your dental and medical billing person leaves, your entire practice cash flow is affected. An experienced and reliable dental and medical billing service is a much better solution.

    DENTAL AND MEDICAL BILLING OUTSOURCING PROVIDES A CHEAPER FIXED COST IN THE END
    Dental and medical billing outsourcing is a variable cost percent that varies directly with your dental and medical billing. With outsourcing, this cost goes up and down with your collections.
    As your business and revenues grow, so does the dental and medical billing and coding workload. However, your employee costs are fixed, while billings and receivables are not a fixed benefit. Therefore, when you need to add another biller you drastically increase your fixed costs, and now you are usually overstaffed, as the workload volume catches up to your expanded billing capacity.

    TIMELY, FLEXIBLE INFORMATION REPORTING
    The LSI Med Billing process includes targeted data gathering to provide you exactly the data required to strategize and plan for growth.

How can I make sure my oral hygiene measures are sufficient?

Are brushing and flossing really that important? Perhaps surprisingly, the answer is a definitive yes because these two short and simple habits are extraordinarily good at cleaning out the mouth.Toothbrush bristles, for example, are thin enough to cover most of the surfaces of a tooth (and whatever gaps they can’t reach, a piece of floss can clean out just as well). Combined with a fluoride toothpaste, your toothbrush is powerful enough both to scrub the malignant bacteria and food residue from…
