Why it matters for dental
Practice owners and billing staff should audit their revenue cycle now; the article flags seven hidden gaps—adjusted collection rates, denied claims, and others—that quietly drain cash flow for general and specialty practices alike.
Key points
- The seven gaps include under-reported adjusted collection rates and elevated denial volumes that practices often overlook.
- DentistryIQ identifies these issues as common across dental offices regardless of size or payer mix.
- Correcting the gaps is presented as a direct path to recovering revenue that is currently lost.
- No specific effective dates, statutes, or state enactments are cited in the source.
