Alabama’s growing dental market brings growing billing complexity. Practices from Birmingham to Huntsville navigate a fee-for-service Medicaid structure with strict EPSDT documentation thresholds, Alabama is the only state with zero adult Medicaid dental coverage, except for pregnant/postpartum recipients and record-keeping obligations that directly affect billing defensibility.

TransDontics’s 1,100+ in-house dental billing specialists are supported by RCM automation engineered for Alabama’s dental billing environment. Every process is designed around the actual payer rules, fee schedules, and documentation standards your claims will face.
Billing companies are typically either fully manual or heavily automated. TransDontics uses a combination of both. Our RPA handles high-volume, repetitive tasks like claim scrubbing, eligibility checks, and status tracking, while our billing specialists handle anything requiring clinical judgment.
Every payment is reconciled against your contracted rate, line by line, across every payer. When BCBSAL or any commercial payer pays below the agreed fee on certain plan types, we flag it and file the appeal within 14 days. Most practices only catch outright denials because that is where the process stops.
Before every Alabama Medicaid claim, we confirm current eligibility status, age bracket, and whether EPSDT or pregnancy-period documentation is required. When eligibility changes mid-treatment which is common in Alabama's Medicaid population, we catch it before it becomes a rejection.
Claims processed within 48 hours of receipt. No setup fee, no monthly minimum, no long-term contract, and no hidden costs buried in the fine print. Our fee is a nominal percentage of what we successfully collect from payers on your behalf. We only earn when you get paid.
Expert CDT coding, clean claim submission, and aggressive denial management by specialty-certified billers. 98% first-pass clean claim rate.
Get in-network faster. We handle all payer paperwork, CAQH maintenance, renewals, and compliance tracking so you start seeing insured patients.
Robotic process automation eliminates manual repetitive tasks. Eligibility checks, reminders, and daily reports run without human intervention, 24/7.
Full revenue cycle coverage from patient registration to final payment. We manage all claims, close every gap, and maximize your collections.

We review your last 12 months, find your top 3 revenue leaks, and show you exactly what we fix. Practices often discover recoverable revenue.
01
An in-house biller knows your practice, not Alabama’s EPSDT requirements, BCBSAL’s downcoding patterns, or Medicaid prior authorization pathways. Turnover resets that knowledge. Ours doesn’t.
Most billing companies submit claims. They won’t reconcile every EOB against your contracted rate, flag EPSDT documentation gaps, or chase the revenue that a clean submission still leaves uncollected.
Most billing companies are a service. TransDontics is a system: RPA catching what humans miss at volume, experienced billers catching what automation cannot judge. The result is a first-pass acceptance rate of 98%.

In the first 60 days, TransDontics recovered $18,400 in claims our team had written off as uncollectable. They caught 47 denied claims we had given up on. The Dentrix integration was seamless as they were billing the same day.
General Dentist · Austin, TX
I was spending 3 hours a day chasing orthodontic claims. TransDontics took over and our denial rate dropped from 22% to under 4% in three months. The multi-visit treatment plan billing alone recovered $31K we had been losing annually.
Orthodontist · Los Angeles, CA
We run 3 oral surgery locations on Eaglesoft. The OMS anesthesia cross-coding was a mess; TransDontics cleaned it up in week one. Collections are up 11% across all three locations.
Oral Surgeon · Dallas, TX
Yes; both programs are managed as distinct workflows within the same practice account, with separate eligibility verification, different fee schedule application, and different prior authorization pathways handled correctly, including documentation requirements that determine whether a claim survives audit or appeal.
Yes. BDEA Chapter 270-X-2 governs clinical record content, retention, and destruction. Alabama Medicaid requires supporting documentation retained for three years per the Provider Billing Manual Chapter 13 while BDEA patient record standards require five years retention from the date of last treatment, and the longer period controls. Our team ensures every claim satisfies both BDEA clinical standards and payer documentation requirements simultaneously.
