Hello,
I am thinking to subscribe to the e-benefit verification service.
Any clear winners between those suggested in manual?
I currently use Tesia for claim processing and was wondering if any of the recommended services have both e-claims and e-verification at comparable rates?
I pay Tesia 40 a month.
Thank you.
Electronic benefit verification
Re: Electronic benefit verification
We use claim connect for claim submissions and benefits verification for over a year now.
They used to offer one month free trial , TRY IT. Not the best, but for $15/month it helps.
You do not want to import into OD all the benefits received AUTOMATICALLY, because the history of benefits is always available to you.
Sometimes you get too much information, and sometimes not much at all.
We ONLY MANUALLY enter any benefits that we are interested in

Re: Electronic benefit verification
Thank you,
Do you know if Claim Connect is able to verify insurance coverage for HMO plans or is it working for PPO plans only?

Their automated eligibility solution has saved us 1000s
Re: Electronic benefit verification
We check our patients insurance benefits directly through the imsurance websites. Easy and free.
We started these changes just few months ago and we like it.
When you start thinking about it, you may think that it is super hard. Not true. Once setup correctly, you will like it.
Most dental insurance companies have made their website more user friendly now. We are in California, and Delta Dental of California has done an excellent job.
All of your Delta patients are already linked to your account. All what you need is just to enter the first and last name of the patient and their records will just pop up. Super easy.
We no longer call Delta to check benefits or claims status anymore, We just login to their website and do it by ourselves, we see most of what a Delta employee see on their computer.
In addition, we submit claims for crowns, perio surgery, implant, SRP...etc.., and we submit the necessary attachment for free through their website and we get paid super super fast
We get paid for a crown in about a week now. SUPER USER FRIENDLY. You can now collect the patient's balance/portion much faster.
1- Registration
We started by signing up and registered with 5 of the main insurance companies that we see 80% of our patients from.
It is good to start with just few insurance companies first, maybe 3 to 5 of them in the beginning. (Delta Dental of CA, Metlife, Cigna, Aetna, Guardian, .....)
we used this query to make this decision, of course , change the dates accordingly.
Registration may take about one to two weeks, as some insurance companies have to mail you the confirmation letters
2-RoboForm - Free Password Manager
You’ll never need to remember or type your passwords again. It saves the websites URL, usernanes and passwords for all of these different websites.
An easy and free software to open any website and login in just few seconds. All what you need is just a master password. https://www.roboform.com/
I was told about it by a large business that has been using it for many of their employees for few years now. (over 50 employees - business option) Legitimate software.
or you can get any other program.
3- Splitting your monitor screen in two
This option is already available in all windows operating system
TUTORIAL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9TigS3_j8c
Our insurance specialist has a 24" monitor (larger is not necessary). We split our monitor screen in half, and we have Open Dental on one side, and the insurance website on the other side.
Now, it will be very easy to share and transfer information from one side to another.
It take our staff now just few minutes to get any information that we need, and we do not need to wait and be placed on hold forever anymore, or if they are closed on the weekends.
4- Claim Connect for benefits verification
We use claim connect for claim submissions and benefits verification, it cost an additional $15/month for the automated eligibility through open dental.
Once our patients insurance information is entered in Open Dental, it makes it easier to confirm that your patient has insurance, or still has insurance at a later date, by just clicking one button.
5- Save the insurance benefits in the IMAGE Module
Most insurance companies allow you to print these benefits in a pdf format, and now you can save it in Open Dental in the patient chart, in the Image Module.
We just created a new folder in the image Module and we called it "Insurance Benefits"
Once setup correctly, you and your staff will be very happy.
Start by signing up and registering with one insurance, and let your staff try it.
