Save Time and Reduce Costs with Electronic Claims Submission (ECS)
Delta Dental of Illinois can process electronic claims the same day they are submitted (versus up to 2 weeks for paper claims depending on mail delivery). Plus, an average office saves nearly $1 per electronic claim.1 It’s safe and easy with many benefits!
Save your office time and money
Paper and postage costs are eliminated with electronic claims. Plus, time spent generating and tracking paper claims is significantly reduced.
Receive faster payment and reduce outstanding receivables
Electronic claims are often submitted almost immediately after treatment, which means quicker payment and quicker billing to patients.
Stay updated with quick notification of claim receipt and status
Clearinghouses send timely reports on received, accepted, and rejected electronic claims with opportunities to respond immediately, resulting in fewer rejections and quicker identification of submission issues.
Reduce the risk of exposing patients' personal health information (PHI)
Electronic claims follow a standardized electronic data interchange (EDI) protocol, are encrypted in transit, and do not contain any patient information.
To see how much you can save by switching to electronic claims, you can use this calculator provided by the National Dental EDI Council (NDEDIC).
