United Concordia tools

HARRISBURG, Pennsylvania--United Concordia offers two ways to help dentists save time and money via electronic funds transfer and expedited online claims submission.

By offering electronic funds transfer, dentists can receive payments faster from United Concordia. Funds are transferred directly into the dentist's account.

"This free service speeds up the payment process," said Jerome Blum, DDS, corporate dental director. "It can help improve cash flow, reduce trips to the bank for deposits, and provide an added measure of security since there are no paper checks."

National dental insurer helps provide nearly $1.7 million in free dental care during 2010

As part of the company's free online claims submission tool, known as Speed eClaim, dentists can use a new, one-page quick entry form to file claims electronically. This form pre-fills patient and dentist information, reducing data entry time.

"This new form makes dealing with United Concordia even easier than before," Dr. Blum said. "You still get real-time claims adjudication and instant online editing and resubmission of claims, but now you only have to enter a few pieces of information and click 'submit.' It truly is user-friendly and dramatically improves the ability of dental offices across the country to file their claims with us electronically."

Both services are available to interested dentists.
