Dental practices lose an average of 9% of their revenue to uncollected bills, and overdue accounts receivable can impact the valuation of a practice. To reduce overdue accounts receivable, dental practices should perform proper insurance verification, provide out-of-pocket cost estimates, put financial guidelines in writing, create an in-house dental membership plan, make sure patients understand their financial responsibilities before treatment and offer incentives for up-front payment.
