Dental Claims Processing Best Practices for Converting Paper Claims to EDI in 837D Format

Executive Summary

 

While EDI has transformed dental claims processing to a streamlined, electronic endeavor, paper still represents approximately 20% of all claims submitted – and about 20% of those contain a dental x-ray that also needs to be processed with the claim. These ratios are not expected to change over the next 10 years.

 

Because processing paper claims is labor-intensive, many dental plans struggle processing them internally in a timely manner and without too much overhead. Other dental plans that outsource paper claims processing have issues with scanning x-rays and ensuring the security of their data (keeping data entry on-shore). In both cases, achieving claim-level accuracy of 98% or above, and processing them within 48 hours can also be challenging.

 

The purpose of this whitepaper is to identify the best practices that make processing paper dental claims faster, in a fully secure manner and with the highest degree of accuracy. These best practices break down into three categories:

 

  1. Overall process for processing paper dental claims and x-rays
  2. In-house claims processing and the use of OCR scanning software
  3. Outsourced claims processing and finding the right partner
