Dental Billing | Insurance Verification, AR Recovery & Credentialing

Top Rated dental billing specialist with 100% Job Success, $50K+ earned and 6,000+ Upwork hours. I help U.S. dental practices with insurance verification, unpaid claims, AR follow-up and provider credentialing. My Upwork work history includes dental billing, insurance coordination, prior authorization and credentialing projects. I bring hands-on experience across the dental revenue cycle, from checking benefits before treatment to following up on outstanding insurance balances. HOW I CAN SUPPORT YOUR PRACTICE • Dental insurance verification: eligibility, detailed breakdowns of benefits, coverage limitations, deductibles, annual maximums and frequency limitations. • Claims submission and follow-up: primary and secondary claims, claim status checks and supporting documentation coordination. • Accounts receivable management: aging review, prioritization of outstanding claims, payer follow-up and clear account notes. • Denial management: research denial reasons, identify missing information and support corrected claims and appeals. • Payment posting: EOB/ERA and EFT posting, adjustments and payment reconciliation. • Prior authorizations and predeterminations: preparation, submission support and status tracking. • Dental credentialing: application support, payer enrollment follow-up and tracking outstanding requirements. DENTAL SOFTWARE Open Dental | Dentrix, including Ascend and Enterprise | Eaglesoft | Curve Hero | Denticon HOW WE WILL WORK We agree on your priorities, workload, turnaround and reporting before starting.
