Getting Paid – The Medical Model

If you, and/or the members of your dental group intend to receive payment through some method other than direct fee-for-service, it is important to understand when it comes to Sleep Medicine, you and your dental group are treating a medical problem and must bill according to established medical protocols.

Because most dental practice management software applications do not handle medical billing properly, SML® has established preferred partnerships that supply turnkey eligibility verification, billing and medical reimbursement to insure timely submission and payment of medical claims. We have done this because we believe that unless it is your intention to convert your practice to one that only provides sleep therapy you will need help integrating medical billing into your practice. These preferred partners can assist with you with your medical billing and ensure that your practice runs smoothly and profitably while delivering the best care possible to your patients.
