Google Business Profile Checklist for Dentists and Physical Therapists
A section-by-section checklist for optimizing a Google Business Profile for dental and physical therapy practices in Florida, beyond just claiming the listing.
Dental Billing Services
Dental billing services that get your claims paid the first time. We verify benefits, submit clean claims with the right CDT codes and attachments, work every denial and follow up on aging insurance A/R, so your practice collects what it earns without tying up the front desk.
The Problem
Dental claims fail for small, fixable reasons: a missing X-ray or narrative, a frequency limit nobody checked, an outdated CDT code, or a claim that simply never got followed up.
When the front desk is also checking in patients and answering phones, dental insurance billing slips, and the A/R report keeps growing.
Crowns, SRP and implants are routinely denied without the right X-rays, perio charting or narratives.
Frequency limits, waiting periods and maximums discovered after treatment become write-offs.
Unpaid claims older than 60 days are often forgotten until they are too old to collect.
Billing competes with patients and phones, and billing usually loses.

FAQ
The patient’s benefits are verified, treatment is coded with CDT codes, and a claim is sent to the dental carrier with any required X-rays, charts or narratives. The carrier processes it and sends an EOB with payment; the practice posts the payment and bills the patient for their portion. Denied claims are corrected and resubmitted or appealed.
The most common reasons are missing attachments or narratives, frequency limitations, waiting periods, patient not eligible on the date of service, incorrect CDT codes, missing tooth or surface information, and timely filing. Most are preventable with verification and claim review.
Yes, for medically necessary procedures such as oral surgery after trauma, biopsies, sleep apnea appliances and some TMJ treatment. This requires CPT and ICD-10 codes and medical documentation, which our team handles.
Outsourced dental billing usually costs 4% to 8% of insurance collections, or a flat monthly fee for smaller practices. We quote after reviewing your claim volume.
We work inside the major practice management systems, including Dentrix, Eaglesoft, Open Dental and cloud platforms.
It takes CDT and insurance knowledge, practice software experience, a clearinghouse, HIPAA-compliant processes and contracts with practices. Most practices are better served outsourcing to an established team than building their own.
To learn how to start a dental billing company you need CDT and insurance expertise, practice software skills, a clearinghouse, HIPAA processes and practice clients. Most practices prefer an established dental billing partner.
