ameritas dental in the reception room or check out this the American Dental Association has one called why doesn't my insurance to pay for this so if you want to jot this down the item number is w five in the new catalog so that's an option for you we also have a similar version we call ours understanding your .
dough insurance and we can send you a free copy of that if you want but you just always have to read and make sure that you agree with all the content you know before you make any purchases like that but the cost between ours and the atas are very comparable maybe ten dollar difference
anyway before we move on to the next screen I really just wanted you to keep in mind that if the patient is not the insured employee but maybe for instance a spouse or a teenage patient who came in on their own then a lack of knowledge about the plan is really just likely to increase now another key player is the employers and HR benefits department the employer group that your
patient has coverage with will usually send out an email with the summary of the plans depending on the employer size they may hold benefits meetings and bring in sales reps and agent so the employees can ask questions and get advice about the plans offered and many employers are going to offer a split effect excuse me a flexible spinning account or an FSA account as part of their
benefits package FSA plans provide payroll deducted tax dollars to assist employees without a pocket expenses but the details of how they work are confusing to a lot of employers and employees patients may fear guessing wrong in having too much deducted from their paychecks so
this can result in a low participation on FSA accounts chances are the HR staff are not very knowledgeable about dental insurance issues and therefore they may not really be a good source of help and a large employer like a thousand or more employees they will often have a designated
benefit center to field employee calls so I kind of want to talk about some of the different types of employers and you've heard the term I'm sure self-insured groups with a self-insured group you're
actually benefit verifications directly from them they process the claims in-house they're going to cut the check from their bank account whole nine yards they're generally these type of employees are generally
