How TransDontics Handles Pennsylvania Billing Differently?

TransDontics’s 1,100+ in-house dental billing specialists are supported by RPA automation engineered for Pennsylvania’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

Most billing companies are either fully manual or heavily automated. TransDontics deploys both. Our RPA handles high-volume repetitive tasks while our specialists manage every decision requiring clinical or contractual judgment. That combination drives our first-pass claim rate to 98%.

Comprehensive Payment Reconciliation

Comprehensive Payment Reconciliation

Every payment is reconciled against your contracted rate, line by line, across every payer. When Delta Dental of Pennsylvania or any commercial carrier pays below the agreed fee on a specific plan type, we flag it and file the appeal within 14 days. Most practices only catch outright denials. We go further.

PROMISe™ FFS and HealthChoices MCO

Before every MA dental claim, we confirm FFS or HealthChoices enrollment, identify the correct MCO and dental administrator, and route accordingly. Submitting a HealthChoices claim through PROMISe™ or a FFS claim through an MCO portal is an automatic denial. We route every claim correctly.

48 Hours Turnaround Time​

48-Hour Turnaround Time.

Claims submitted within 48 hours of receipt. No setup fee, no monthly minimum, no long-term contract, no hidden costs. Our fee is a straightforward percentage of what we successfully collect. We only earn when you get paid, which means our incentives are perfectly 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 PROMISe™ versus HealthChoices MCO routing, BLE pre-authorization requirements, or crown claim documentation issues. Turnover resets that knowledge. Ours doesn’t.

02

Most billing companies don’t track BLE pre-authorization status, reconcile EOBs against contracted rates, or manage new provider enrollment across PROMISe™ and active HealthChoices MCO. 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 cannot 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 Philadelphia suburbs practice came to us with a 10% denial rate, 35% of A/R past 90 days, and HealthChoices claims submitted through PROMISe™ instead of the patient’s MCO dental administrator with front desk spending 2–3 hours daily on billing follow-up.

Within 60–90 days:

Pennsylvania Compliance You Can Actually Rely On

Pennsylvania practices carry HIPAA obligations alongside 49 Pa. Code §33.209 requiring records retained five years from last dental entry with accurate documentation of every service and provider. TransDontics is independently HIPAA certified and AICPA SOC 2 Type II compliant.

Encrypted Data Transmission

All patient data is encrypted end-to-end, satisfying HIPAA Security Rule technical safeguards and Pennsylvania’s patient records privacy requirements. 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 Pennsylvania 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 and third-party verified. Your Pennsylvania 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 BLE denials and MCO routing errors, most Pennsylvania practices are spending far more and collecting far less. TransDontics’s fee is a percentage of what you actually collect. That is the whole model.

Frequently Ask Questions

What actually makes Pennsylvania dental billing harder than other states?

Three things most billing companies underestimate: PA Medical Assistance runs two parallel systems, PROMISe™ FFS and HealthChoices MCO, each with different portals, credentialing requirements, and timely filing rules; the MA adult dental program requires Benefit Limit Exceptions for crowns, root canals, periodontal scaling, and dentures beyond a first set, meaning procedures are denied not for coding errors but for missing pre-authorization documentation; and the commercial market is split between two dominant regional BCBS licensees, Highmark in Western and Northeastern PA and Independence Blue Cross in Southeastern PA, each with its own dental administrator and claim submission system.

RPA handles volume tasks automatically and continuously: eligibility checks, FFS vs. MCO enrollment determination, BLE status verification, claim scrubbing, and payment posting. Billing specialists handle what requires judgment: BLE documentation review, appeals, EOB reconciliation, MCO credentialing coordination, and payer escalations. The combination is what keeps the first-pass rate at 98%. Either layer alone does not achieve that.

A BLE is a prior authorization required for Pennsylvania MA adult dental services that exceed program frequency limits. Root canals (endodontic services), crowns (laboratory-processed and prefabricated), periodontal scaling and root planing under procedure codes D4341 and D4342, and dentures beyond the first set per lifetime all require BLE approval before the service is rendered and billed. The BLE is submitted to DHS (for FFS patients) or the MCO (for HealthChoices patients), and the approval must be documented in the patient record. Billing for a BLE-restricted service without prior approval results in an automatic denial that cannot be appealed based on medical necessity alone after the fact.
PROMISe™ (Provider Reimbursement and Operations Management Information System) is Pennsylvania DHS’s portal for MA FFS provider enrollment, claims submission, eligibility verification, and remittance advice retrieval. Dental providers must be enrolled in PROMISe™ as a prerequisite for treating FFS patients, and provider enrollment revalidation is required every five years. Claims must appear on a Remittance Advice within 45 days of submission, and original claims must be received within 180 days of the date of service under 55 Pa. Code §1101.68. PROMISe™ is separate from the MCO portals used for HealthChoices managed care claims.
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 Pennsylvania payers including Pennsylvania Medical Assistance FFS through PROMISe™, all active HealthChoices MCOs (UPMC for You, Highmark Wholecare, AmeriHealth Caritas PA, Geisinger, Health Partners Plans, UnitedHealthcare Community Plan), Delta Dental of Pennsylvania, Highmark BCBS (via United Concordia), Independence Blue Cross, Capital Blue Cross, United Concordia, Cigna, Aetna, TRICARE, MetLife, and Guardian.
Yes. Under 49 Pa. Code §33.209, every dental record must accurately, legibly, and completely reflect the evaluation and treatment rendered, including the date and identity of every treating provider. Records must be retained for a minimum of five years from the last dental entry, and must be transferred to a patient or new dentist within 30 days of a written request, irrespective of any unpaid balance. These documentation requirements directly affect billing defensibility: a BLE approval request without supporting clinical documentation, or a claim for services with no contemporaneous treatment notes, will not survive a DHS audit or MCO post-payment review. Our team ensures every claim submitted satisfies both payer-specific and Board documentation requirements simultaneously.
