Great Minds, Inc., and Rae Dental Management announced a new product for dental practices looking for statistics to help make better decisions about their PPO dental plans. The PPO Analyzer for Dentrix is an easy-to-use report that gives the office a snapshot of how their PPO dental plans are affecting their practices’ productivity and profitability..
Designed for Henry Schein’s Dentrix practice management system, The PPO Analyzer gives dental teams an efficient and accurate system for the front office to improve treatment planning, increase collections, and easily view net production, said Dayna Johnson, founder of Rae Dental Management and a certified Dentrix trainer. “The PPO Analyzer also tracks statistics such as PPO write-off’s, patient demographics, and specific production information without forcing teams to sort through multiple reports,” Johnson added. “Doctors have been asking for these features and we have been listening. The PPO Analyzer for Dentrix brings all this information together on one report for Dentrix, the market leader in practice management systems.”
The PPO Analyzer for Dentrix is a “Dentrix G5 Connected” solution and has four main components:
- PPO Production Summary – Shows production by fee schedule and compares it to your UCR fee schedule to give you a net difference. This is your bottom line PPO write-off.
- PPO Patient Demographics – Gives total number of patients and percentage of active patient base by fee schedule. Also, it will break it down by male, female, and child.
- PPO Claim Statistics – Shows how long the average claim aging is by each PPO plan. These statistics give not only average claim aging, but also total number of resubmissions by fee schedule.
- PPO Patient Visit Summary – Breaks down the numbers a little farther to show the total number of doctor visits, hygiene visits, and average production per visit. “Also, this section will show you total number of broken appointments by fee schedule,” Johnson added.
“Because The PPO Analyzer is ‘Dentrix G5 Connected,’ it integrates directly with the Dentrix system, quickly accessing your Dentrix data to provide valuable reporting,” said Kevin Bunker, President, North America Dental Practice Solutions at Henry Schein, Inc.
“There isn’t anything else like it on the market right now. Dentrix users should be very excited about this report because they cannot pull these numbers onto one report,” said Aaron Cali with Great Minds, Inc.
According to the developers, these components can help you make better decisions about your PPO dental plans. Additionally, it can help dental practices to target market certain employers with good PPO plans or help them map out their schedule to increase production.
