At MedsDental, we understand that running a successful dental practice involves more than just delivering excellent patient care. Behind every thriving dental clinic lies an efficient system of financial management, compliance adherence, and operational excellence. That’s where our Dental Auditing Services come into play. As a vital first step in our consulting process, MedsDental's Practice Audit Solution offers a deep dive into your current systems, identifying inefficiencies, uncovering hidden value, and presenting actionable insights in a comprehensive report tailored to your unique needs.
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.
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.
Stay aligned with federal and state regulations, including HIPAA, CMS guidelines, and payer-specific mandates.
Identify underpayments, missed charges, or improper denials that may be costing your practice thousands annually
Streamline workflows, eliminate redundancies, and improve overall productivity through data-driven insights.
Transparent and accurate billing enhances patient satisfaction and builds long-term loyalty.
Reduce exposure to legal and financial penalties by proactively addressing potential issues before they escalate.
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:
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:
Correct CDT (Current Dental Terminology) coding
Accurate fee entries
Consistent documentation across all records
We review the patient’s insurance policy to ensure that claims were submitted and processed according to contract terms. This includes analyzing:
Allowed amounts per procedure
Patient eligibility at time of service
Coordination of benefits (COB)
Timely filing limits
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:
Missing or incomplete documentation
Non-covered services
Coding inconsistencies
Payer-specific guideline violations
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:
Missed modifier use (e.g., -25, -57, -59)
Unbilled preventive services
Undercoded procedures
Missed secondary insurance claims
After completing the audit, we compile findings into a clear, easy-to-understand report.
This document includes:
Summary of key findings
Breakdown of identified issues
Recommendations for improvement
Estimated financial impact
Implementation roadmap
When you partner with MedsDental for your dental auditing needs, you gain access to a team of professionals who bring years of experience, advanced tools, and a proven methodology to the table. Here’s what you can expect:
Our auditors work tirelessly to minimize claim denials caused by incorrect coding, insufficient documentation, or submission errors. We help establish standardized processes to ensure cleaner claims and faster reimbursements.
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.
Overpayments can lead to serious compliance risks, especially if left unaddressed. Our audits help identify situations where your practice may have been overpaid by insurers or patients, allowing you to rectify the issue before it becomes a liability.
Many practices operate under the assumption that they’re being paid fairly—but that’s not always the case. Our audits reveal hidden losses due to underpayment, unbilled services, or overlooked insurance coordination.
Beyond financial gains, our audit uncovers inefficiencies in your workflow, scheduling, and communication systems. We provide practical solutions to streamline operations, reduce administrative burden, and improve team morale.
We’ve worked with a wide range of dental practices—from solo practitioners to large multi-specialty
clinics—and the results speak for themselves:
There are many auditing firms in the market, but few offer the level of expertise, personalization, and support that MedsDental provides. Here’s why we stand out:
