TransDontics’s 1,100+ certified dental billing specialists manage your complete revenue cycle, so you can stay focused on your patients.

Louisiana-Specific Billing Problems That Silently Cost Practices Revenue

Louisiana practices from New Orleans to Baton Rouge navigate a dual Medicaid DMO structure, narrower adult benefit windows than most providers anticipate, and record-keeping obligations under both federal HIPAA and Louisiana’s patient records statute.

How TransDontics Handles Louisiana Billing Differently?

TransDontics’s 1,100+ in-house dental billing specialists are supported by RPA automation engineered for Louisiana’s dental billing environment. Every process is designed around the actual payer rules, fee schedules, and documentation standards your claims will face.

Automation & Human Judgment in Every Claim

Automation & Human Judgment in Every Claim

Billing companies are typically either fully manual (slow, error-prone at volume) or heavily automated (missing judgment calls). TransDontics uses a combination of both. Our RPA handles high-volume, repetitive tasks like claim scrubbing, eligibility checks, etc. while our billing specialists handle anything requiring clinical or contractual judgment.

Comprehensive Payment Reconciliation

Comprehensive Payment Reconciliation

Every payment is reconciled against your contracted rate, line by line, across every payer. When BCBSLA/LIBERTY Dental Plan 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’s where the process stops. We go further.

DMO Routing Verified Before Every Submission

Before every Louisiana Medicaid claim goes out, we confirm the patient’s current DBPM assignment; DentaQuest or MCNA, format the claim for that specific plan’s portal, and include what that plan requires. When a patient switches plans or loses and regains Medicaid eligibility, which happens frequently in Louisiana’s Medicaid population, we catch it.

48 Hours Turnaround Time​

48-Hour Turnaround Time.

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 which means our incentives are aligned with yours from day one.

Why Dental Practices Switch To TransDontics & STAY!

All billing companies are not built the same. Before you decide, see exactly what you’re getting by partnering with TransDontics.

01

The In-House Biller Problem: Knowledge That Walks Out the Door

An in-house biller knows your practice, not Louisiana’s DMO routing rules, BCBSLA’s LIBERTY Dental processing requirements, or which plan your patient switched to. Turnover resets that knowledge. Ours doesn’t.

02

Most billing companies submit claims. They won’t reconcile every EOB against your contracted rate, flag DMO routing errors, or chase the revenue that remains uncollected. TransDontics does all of it.

03

Most billing companies are a service. TransDontics is a system; RPA catching what humans miss at volume, experienced billers catching what automation can’t judge. The result is a first-pass acceptance rate of 98%.

What Practices Typically See After Switching?

We don’t publish named case studies because most clients prefer to keep billing performance private. What we can share is what the numbers look like across practices with comparable payer profiles.

 

Based on aggregated results across dental practices in comparable payer environments.

Metric Before TransDontics After TransDontics
Average Denial Rate 8–12% Under 2.3%
First-Pass Clean Claim Rate 70–80% 98%
A/R Over 90 Days 30–40% of Total AR Reduced by 30%+
Average A/R Resolution 45+ Days 18–25 Days
Claim Turnaround 3–5 Days 48 Hours
Revenue Growth (120 days) Baseline 5–12% Increase
A general dentistry practice in the Greater Baton Rouge area came to us with a ~10% denial rate, 35% of A/R past 90 days, and Medicaid claims being routed to the wrong DBPM. Their front desk was spending 2–3 hours daily on billing follow-up with inconsistent results.
Within 60–90 days:

Louisiana Compliance You Can Actually Rely On

Louisiana practices carry HIPAA obligations alongside La. Rev. Stat. § 40:1165.1 governing dental record retention and patient access within 15 days. TransDontics is independently certified under both frameworks statewide.

Encrypted Data Transmission

All patient data is encrypted end-to-end, satisfying HIPAA Security Rule technical safeguards and Louisiana’s patient records statute requirements under La. Rev. Stat. § 40:1165.1. Every data transmission meets the highest applicable standard; not just the minimum.

Role-Based Access Controls

Only credentialed TransDontics personnel can access your practice data, eliminating the internal access vulnerabilities that turn in-house billing into a compliance liability most Louisiana practice owners don’t realize they are carrying until it is too late.

Independently Audited Security

Independently Audited Security

Our AICPA SOC 2 Type II certification is independently audited and renewed annually. Everything is documented, third-party verified proof of our security posture. Your Louisiana practice’s liability exposure is measurably reduced from day one of our partnership.

Cost Comparison: In-House vs. TransDontics

In-house billing looks cheaper on paper. It rarely is. Between staffing overhead, turnover, training costs, and the revenue lost to unworked denials, most practices are spending far more than they realize and collecting far less than they should. TransDontics’s fee is a percentage of what you actually collect. That’s the whole model.

Frequently Ask Questions

What actually makes Louisiana billing harder than other states?

Three things most billing companies underestimate: Medicaid dental is split between two separate DBPMs; DentaQuest and MCNA, each with its own portal, prior authorization rules, and CDT coverage criteria; BCBSLA dental benefits run through LIBERTY Dental Plan under a Louisiana-specific processing arrangement that differs from standard BCBS billing in other states; and Louisiana’s La. Rev. Stat. § 40:1165.1 requires dental records retention for six years, with radiographic records for three, which directly affects billing defensibility in LDH audits.

RCM automation handles volume tasks automatically and continuously; eligibility checks, claim scrubbing, status tracking, payment posting. Billing specialists handle what requires judgment like appeals, EOB reconciliation, pre-auth follow-up, payer escalations. The combination is what keeps the first-pass rate at 98%. Either layer alone doesn’t achieve that.

Yes. Our data handling protocols satisfy La. Rev. Stat. § 40:1165.1, which governs patient health information retention and access rights for Louisiana healthcare providers and their business associates, including the requirement that dental records be retained for a minimum of six years from the date of last treatment and radiographic records for at least three years; in addition to our full HIPAA certification and AICPA SOC 2 Type II audit compliance.
Yes. The Louisiana State Board of Dentistry (LSBD), operating under the Louisiana Revised Statutes Title 37, Chapter 15, sets clinical record-keeping standards that directly affect claim documentation and audit defensibility. Our team ensures every claim submitted for your Louisiana practice satisfies both DBPM and commercial payer requirements alongside LSBD clinical documentation standards simultaneously.
TransDontics charges a small percentage commission based solely on what your practice successfully collects from insurance payers. There are no upfront fees, no monthly retainers, and no hidden charges. If you don’t collect, we don’t earn! Our financial incentive is always directly aligned with your practice’s revenue performance.
All active Louisiana payers including BCBSLA/LIBERTY Dental Plan, Delta Dental of Louisiana, Humana, Aetna, Cigna, MetLife, Guardian, UnitedHealthcare, TRICARE, and both Louisiana Medicaid DBPMs: DentaQuest and MCNA Dental.
Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Louisiana administers dental benefits through LIBERTY Dental Plan under a Louisiana-specific contract. This means BCBSLA dental claims require LIBERTY Dental Plan portal credentialing, LIBERTY-specific claim formatting, and familiarity with LIBERTY’s prior authorization thresholds, appeal procedures, and fee schedule application. Standard BCBS billing experience from other states does not automatically translate. TransDontics manages this relationship as a core Louisiana workflow, not a special case.
