The Comprehensive Orthodontic Insurance Workshop - Mastering Your Plan

At last, a complete training and networking workshop for doctors and team members who are part of the orthodontic insurance process. OrthoBanc is pleased to sponsor a full day symposium being presented by Ms. Tina Byrne, Industry Consultant and Orthodontic Insurance Expert.

Insurance benefits will continue to play a major role in the enrollment of new patients and the acceptance of treatment in our offices. The success of plan participation, acceptance of benefit assignment, claim submission and follow-up is, simply put, a result of team training, on-going education, and aligning your means, methods, and mindsets! Yet, many practices struggle to stay informed of the trends and changes affecting benefits. As a result, they find it difficult to stay “on top” of their system for insurance.

If you ask yourself any of the following, this workshop is for you and your team:

1. Should we be considering plan participation?

2. Does our team have current knowledge of insurance industry trends for benefit plans – limitations, exclusions, coordination, transition of care, coding and submissions?

3. Is our office needlessly discounting treatment by not unbundling our fees to take advantage of allowed codes and charges for in-network plans?

4. Are pre-credited benefits contributing to our account delinquency?

5. Has insurance in any way become burdensome for our team?

Mastering YOUR Plan presents tools, concepts, and a system which facilitates a workable and rewarding approach to insurance for both the practice and patient. An effective, all-encompassing insurance system to efficiently manage the “Six P’s” – plans, participation, policy, preparation, process, and punctuality.

Spend a day with our industry’s leading insurance speaker/trainer and gain invaluable insight by networking with hundreds of insurance coordinators in other orthodontic practices. To be even more on target to the needs of attendees, a pre-workshop questionnaire will allow you to submit questions and situations for consideration and inclusion into the agenda. So prepare your office fee schedule, in-network fee schedules, and existing office materials to have a WOW day of learning and development.
