TransDontics’s 1,100+ in-house dental billing specialists are supported by RCM automation engineered for Tennessee’s dental billing environment. Every process is designed around the actual payer rules, fee schedules, and documentation standards your claims will face.
TransDontics combines RCM automation with specialist judgment. Automation handles eligibility, claim scrubbing, and payment posting while specialists handle appeals, EOB reconciliation, and Renaissance portal escalations sustaining a consistent 98% first-pass rate.
Every payment is reconciled against your contracted rate, line by line. When Delta Dental of Tennessee or any commercial payer settles below the agreed fee, we flag it and appeal within 14 days. Most practices only catch denials. Underpayments keep flowing through unnoticed. We catch them.
Before every TennCare claim, we confirm plan enrollment, verify Dental Home status under Renaissance, format to Renaissance's portal, and attach required prior authorization documentation. MCO or Dental Home assignment changes are caught before they create A/R rejections.
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.
Strategic oversight of your practice’s operational and financial performance. We track collections, payer mix, and productivity metrics

An in-house biller knows your practice, not Renaissance’s Dental Home routing, BlueCare versus Wellpoint prior auth differences, or which TennCare plan your patient switched to. Turnover resets that knowledge. Ours doesn’t.
Most billing companies submit claims. They won’t reconcile EOBs, catch TennCare routing issues, identify Renaissance Dental Home mismatches, or chase uncollected revenue. TransDontics does all of it.
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%.

A Nashville practice came to us with a 10%+ denial rate, 37% of A/R past 90 days, and TennCare claims still submitting through DentaQuest workflows two months after the Renaissance transition with 3 hours daily of billing follow-up with no consistent outcome.
Our specialists know every Tennessee payer’s rules and appeal processes. Generic billing companies stumble on TennCare’s three-plan structure, miss BlueCare versus Wellpoint differences, and fail to account for the Renaissance transition. We don’t.
Employer group and marketplace plans with variable benefit maximums and pre-authorization thresholds. We track Anthem rule updates as published and apply them at the claim level.
Operates BlueCare &TennCare Select, with dental benefits routing through Renaissance since November 2025. We maintain active credentialing across both plans and manage all EPSDT pediatric submissions.
TennCare MCO successor to Amerigroup, with dental benefits through Renaissance since November 2025. We completed provider enrollment and credentialing ahead of transition with zero claim disruption.
Third TennCare MCO with dental benefits routed through Renaissance since November 2025. We maintain enrollment & track CDT coverage through both UnitedHealthcare & Renaissance portals.

TransDontics works Tennessee claims daily, knowing Delta Dental’s plan-specific reimbursement differences, BlueCare versus Wellpoint prior auth distinctions, and Renaissance’s Dental Home verification requirements before every submission.
Every Tennessee practice qualifies. If your city isn’t listed, it’s coming. Reach out now and we’ll onboard your practice without delay.
Every state has its own payer rules, Medicaid structure, and billing landmines. TransDontics expertly navigates all of them.
Tennessee practices carry HIPAA obligations alongside Tenn. Comp. R. & Regs. 0460-02-.12 requiring seven-year record retention including X-rays sufficient to support diagnosis and continuity of care. TransDontics is independently certified under both frameworks.
All patient data is encrypted end-to-end, satisfying HIPAA Security Rule technical safeguards and Tennessee's patient confidentiality requirements under T.C.A. § 63-2-101. Every data transmission meets the highest applicable standard, not just the federal compliance floor.
Only credentialed TransDontics personnel access your practice data; eliminating the internal access vulnerabilities most Tennessee practice owners don't recognize until something goes wrong. Willful patient confidentiality breaches carry misdemeanor exposure under T.C.A. § 68-11-1504 in addition to HIPAA enforcement.
Our AICPA SOC 2 Type II certification is independently audited and renewed annually. It is not self-reported; it is third-party-verified proof of our security posture, documented and on file. Your Tennessee practice's liability exposure is measurably reduced from day one of our partnership.
Customized billing solutions based on your specialty
In-house billing looks cheaper on paper. It rarely is once you account for salary, benefits, turnover, training costs, software, and the revenue lost to unworked denials, Renaissance portal errors, and MCO routing mismatches that nobody catches. TransDontics’s fee is a percentage of what you actually collect. That is the whole model.

Our Complimentary audit covers denied claims, Renaissance Dental Home routing errors, TennCare MCO assignment mismatches, and underpayments.
Specific, verified outcomes, not generic praise. Every metric sourced from client data.
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
Three factors: Renaissance Dental Home Routing and Post-Transition A/R Recovery, portal credentials, and a Dental Home assignment model changing member eligibility at the claim level. Renaissance’s new prior auth framework is generating untraced denials. Tennessee’s non-expansion status means TennCare eligibility changes frequently requiring verification before every visit.
RPA handles eligibility checks, claim scrubbing, status tracking, and payment posting. Billing specialists handle appeals, EOB reconciliation, prior auth follow-up, Renaissance Dental Home escalations, and MCO routing decisions when enrollment changes. The combination sustains a 98% first-pass rate. Either layer alone doesn’t achieve that.
All active Tennessee payers — Delta Dental, Anthem BCBS, Cigna, Aetna, UnitedHealthcare commercial, Humana, TRICARE, MetLife, Guardian, and all TennCare health plans: BlueCare, Wellpoint, and UnitedHealthcare Community Plan (the three standard MCOs), plus TennCare Select (the BlueCare-administered PIHP for special populations); all with dental benefits administered through Renaissance..
