Today, Steve talks about how his company can better the process of insurance verification for practices before the patient even walks in their doors for their first appointment.Insurance is a vital and key factor in determining if the patient will go to your practice so having an outside system where a dentist and their team don’t have to scramble to ensure insurance is verified before a patient's importance can save them an enormous amount of time and stress.
