Dental billing software

Billing and claims are where practice management software earns or loses its keep. Here is which systems do it in the core product, and which sell it as an add-on or push you to a clearinghouse.

Almost every practice management system claims to do billing. The distinction that matters is whether claims submission, attachments and eligibility are native, or whether you are paying a separate clearinghouse and reconciling by hand. Watch for per-claim fees: tab32 publishes $0.20 per claim, $0.50 per attachment and $1.25 per eligibility check, which on 400 claims a month is a meaningful line item that never appears in a sticker price.

Prices are the vendor’s own published figures, each read on its source page and dated on that product’s review. “Quote only” means the vendor publishes no price at all — we do not substitute third-party estimates. How we compare.
