What Is Dental Auditing?

Dental auditing is a structured evaluation of the performance and compliance of a dental practice. It involves reviewing various aspects of clinical documentation, billing procedures, insurance claims processing, and internal operations to ensure alignment with regulatory standards and payer requirements.

While nearly every element of dental practice can be audited—from clinical protocols to staff performance—most audits focus on payer reimbursement processes. These audits assess whether the practice is adhering to payer guidelines and contractual agreements, helping identify discrepancies, reduce errors, and optimize revenue.

A well-executed audit serves as a cornerstone of any robust compliance plan. It enables dental practices to detect inaccuracies early, implement corrective actions, and maintain high standards of transparency and accountability.

The Role of Dental Audits in Compliance & Financial Health

In today’s complex healthcare environment, dental practices face increasing scrutiny from insurance payers, regulatory bodies, and even patients. Ensuring accurate coding, proper documentation, and timely reimbursements is no longer optional—it’s essential for long-term success.

How Our Dental Auditing Process Works

At MedsDental, our team of experienced auditors follows a meticulous, multi-step approach designed to uncover every possible
inefficiency and opportunity within your practice. Here’s how we do it:

icon
Step 1: Record Review & Charge Verification

We begin by comparing the services documented in each patient's dental record against the charges listed on the itemized bill. This ensures that every service billed was actually performed and properly recorded.

Our experts verify:

  • tick Correct CDT (Current Dental Terminology) coding
  • tick Accurate fee entries
  • tick Consistent documentation across all records

Step 2: Insurance Policy Analysis

We review the patient’s insurance policy to ensure that claims were submitted and processed according to contract terms. This includes analyzing:

  • tick Allowed amounts per procedure
  • tick Patient eligibility at time of service
  • tick Coordination of benefits (COB)
  • tick Timely filing limits

Step 3: Denial Management & Root Cause Identification

Claim denials are one of the most frustrating—and costly—challenges in dental billing. We dig deeper to identify the reasons.

Common denial reasons include:

  • tick Missing or incomplete documentation
  • tick Non-covered services
  • tick Coding inconsistencies
  • tick Payer-specific guideline violations

Step 4: Reimbursement Optimization

One of the most powerful benefits of our dental audit is the ability to uncover reimbursement deficiencies. Many practices unknowingly leave money on the table due to missed billing opportunities or underutilization of modifiers.

Our audit identifies:

  • tick Missed modifier use (e.g., -25, -57, -59)
  • tick Unbilled preventive services
  • tick Undercoded procedures
  • tick Missed secondary insurance claims

Step 5: Detailed Reporting & Actionable Insights

After completing the audit, we compile findings into a clear, easy-to-understand report.

This document includes:

  • tick Summary of key findings
  • tick Breakdown of identified issues
  • tick Recommendations for improvement
  • tick Estimated financial impact
  • tick Implementation roadmap

Ensuring Proper Documentation

Accurate documentation is critical—not only for billing purposes, but also for legal protection and quality assurance. We review your documentation practices and suggest improvements that align with industry best practices.
