This is not an entry-level position and it is not a traditional front-desk role. We are looking for someone with 5+ years of strong dental experience who can confidently own three critical areas of the practice: treatment coordination, insurance, and patient financial coordination. You should already know how to read and understand dental treatment plans, work with PPO insurance, explain benefits and patient portions, discuss financing, overcome financial objections, close treatment, and keep a doctor's schedule productive.

WHAT YOU'LL OWN

Treatment Coordination & Case Acceptance Prepare and present comprehensive treatment plans Confidently discuss treatment, insurance estimates, patient portions, and financial arrangements Follow up on unscheduled and incomplete treatment Help patients overcome financial barriers to care Present financing options and assist patients with applications Maintain strong treatment acceptance and scheduling metrics Keep the doctor's schedule productive by actively working outstanding treatment Dental Insurance Strong working knowledge of PPO dental insurance Understand benefits, frequencies, limitations, downgrades, waiting periods, maximums, deductibles, and exclusions Review open insurance claims and outstanding insurance reports Follow up on unpaid, delayed, or denied claims Work insurance A/R proactively instead of waiting for problems to appear Post insurance payments accurately and timely Identify discrepancies, incorrect payments, and claims requiring additional follow-up Financial & A/R Responsibilities Review patient and insurance A/R Collect patient balances Maintain accurate financial arrangements Work outstanding balances and aging reports Help protect the financial health of the practice through consistent follow-up and accountability Scheduling & Practice Growth Understand how to build and maintain a productive dental schedule Fill openings strategically instead of simply placing names on the schedule Work unscheduled treatment and outstanding treatment reports Recognize opportunities to improve production, collections, case acceptance, and patient retention Understand that every empty chair represents both a patient who still needs care and lost practice production

LEADERSHIP MATTERS

We want someone who comes to work prepared for the day, not reacting to the day. You will participate in and help lead daily morning huddles, know the day's opportunities and challenges before patients arrive, understand the team's production and scheduling goals, and help keep everyone moving toward those goals. You should be comfortable working with measurable expectations and being accountable for results.

WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR

Our ideal candidate: Has 5+ years of dental office experience Has significant treatment coordination and dental insurance experience Is a proven treatment closer Understands how to fill and maximize a doctor's schedule Knows dental terminology and procedure codes Is highly organized and able to multitask Can manage reports and follow-up without being reminded Is comfortable discussing money and financing with patients Is upbeat, energetic, warm, and genuinely enjoys working with people Communicates professionally with patients, doctors, and team members Takes ownership instead of waiting to be told what needs to happen Can help lead others toward daily goals Understands practice metrics and wants to help grow the practice Presents professionally in business-casual attire

THIS POSITION IS PROBABLY NOT FOR YOU

IF... You need someone to teach you dental insurance from the beginning. You are uncomfortable discussing money or asking patients to schedule treatment. You wait for patients to call back rather than following up. You prefer working without goals, reports, or accountability. You believe treatment coordination means simply printing a treatment plan and handing it to the patient.

THIS MAY BE YOUR POSITION

IF... You can look at tomorrow's schedule today and immediately recognize what needs attention. You know which patients have unscheduled treatment. You can explain a $5,000 treatment plan without becoming uncomfortable when it's time to discuss the patient's financial responsibility. You know how to investigate an unpaid insurance claim instead of simply writing it off. And when there is an opening on the doctor's schedule, your first thought is: "Who needs treatment, and how do we fill it?" If you're experienced, positive, competitive with yourself , accountable, and genuinely excited about helping patients say yes to the dentistry they need, we'd love to meet you. Please apply with your resume and details regarding your dental treatment coordination and insurance experience.
