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 its PPO dental plans are affecting practice 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-offs, 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:
- The PPO Production Summary feature shows production by fee schedule and compares it to the practice’s Usual, Customary, and Reasonable (UCR) fee schedule to calculate the net difference. This is your bottom line PPO write-off.
- The PPO Patient Demographics feature gives the total number of patients and the percentage of patients who are active by fee schedule. The feature also allows for the statistics to be broken down by whether patients are male or female and/or adults or children.
- The PPO Claim Statistics feature shows how long the average claim aging is by each PPO plan. These statistics give both average claim aging and the total number of resubmissions by fee schedule.
- The PPO Patient Visit Summary feature breaks down the numbers a little further to show the total number of doctor visits, the total number of hygiene visits, and the 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.
