Financial Coordinator DiNinno Family Dental
- 931 South Street, Fitchburg, MA 01420
- Regular full-time, in person
- $25-$35 per hour Our practice has grown, and we're adding a new position to our front office.
Most of our patients are fee-for-service, which means our front desk does more insurance work than a typical in-network office: verifying out-of-network benefits, giving patients accurate estimates before treatment, and making sure every claim is filed and paid. We're looking for an experienced administrator who already knows how to do this well and wants to own it.
ABOUT THE PRACTICE
DiNinno Family Dental is a solo general practice that has cared for families in Fitchburg and the surrounding communities since 1978. Dr. Nicholas DiNinno III leads a close-knit team of hygienists, assistants, and front office staff. We focus on quality care, clear communication, and a personal, unhurried experience for every patient.
THE ROLE
You'll join our Office Manager and front desk team and be the patient's first and last point of contact and responsible for the money side of each visit, from benefits verification to the paid claim. A year in, success looks like this: patients know what they owe before they sit in the chair, portions are collected at checkout, claims go out the same day, and rejected or unpaid claims don't sit.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
Insurance:
Verify dental benefits before appointments, including out-of-network coverage, frequencies, and remaining maximums. Build accurate patient estimates.
Claims:
