OptumHealth Financial Services has added electronic billing to its dental-specific services.
Using the OptumHealth Electronic Payment and Statements feature, dentists can conduct claims payment transactions and receive remittance advice electronically.
"Dental providers and insurers process almost 275 million claims a year using paper methods," the company said in a press release. "OptumHealth Electronic Payments and Statements has the potential to save more than $100 million a year in administrative costs, according to OptumHealth estimates."
"Bringing this capability to the dental industry helps streamline and simplify healthcare finance for everyone in the system -- individuals, employers, dental plans, and dental care providers," said Chad Wilkins, CEO of OptumHealth Financial Services.
