Extended Relationship Provides Dental Offices with Real-Time Data Processing Technology
The American Association of Dental Office Managers (AADOM) today announced its extended relationship with Mercury Data Exchange (MDE), a provider of real-time revenue cycle management services for dental offices. Through this relationship, MDE will continue to serve as the official insurance clearinghouse of AADOM, offering its members a range of resources and tools that help to improve workflow efficiencies in financial processing.
"AADOM's relationship with MDE over the past three years has been beneficial to our members, as we both seek to empower office managers with the information and means to enhance the profitability of their practices," said Heather Colicchio, president of AADOM. "We look forward to working closely with MDE to continue educating office managers on how to improve day-to-day administrative efficiencies and position themselves as indispensable staff by proactively presenting financial solutions to their dentists."
MDE solutions provide support for office managers by streamlining the entire revenue cycle from before the patient walks into the office until after the patient's procedure is complete. These tools allow office managers to spend less time on paper-based processes and on the phone with payers, speed the overall payment process and ultimately dedicate more time on patient needs. MDE's real-time adjudication (RTA) software and services enable AADOM members to:
- Automate tasks such as eligibility checks and benefits verification to reduce delayed scheduling of patient procedures;
- Gain real-time access to predeterminations and utilization of claims submission and tracking for increased case acceptance;
- Transfer funds electronically and minimize payment delays with next-day payment options available through select payers to improve cash flow; and
- Send custom print and e-statements through a proprietary patient payment portal to reduce bad debt.
"We are pleased to continue working closely with the leadership and members of AADOM as their official clearinghouse for another year," said Richard Moore, president of MDE. "We have great respect for the critical role office managers have in the dental office and strive to meet their needs with our revenue cycle solutions."
