Help strengthen office systems and prepare the practice for its next chapter. Qualifications Previous dental insurance, billing, or dental office experience preferred. Knowledge of dental terminology, procedures, insurance plans, and claim processes. Dental assisting experience - licensed or unlicensed - is strongly preferred but not required. Experience with SoftDent is a plus. Strong organizational skills and close attention to detail. Ability to prioritize responsibilities and consistently follow through. Ability to explain insurance and financial information clearly. Comfortable contacting insurance companies and advocating for timely claim resolution. Able to take initiative and solve problems independently. Positive attitude, team-focused approach, and a sense of humor.

You take pride in accurate work, persistent follow-up, and helping patients understand what can often feel like a confusing part of dental care.
