The Revenue Cycle Management Bootcamp for Emerging DSOs Zentist, the automated dental insurance claims processing platform, launched the dental industry’s first revenue cycle management (RCM) bootcamp designed specifically for professionals working at or building dental support organizations (DSOs), especially dentist entrepreneurs.
The purpose of the bootcamp is to bring together DSO industry professionals and RCM subject matter experts in an interactive learning environment. Attendees will participate in educational and networking sessions. They will gain exposure to the strategies of leading organizations in such processes as eligibility and benefits verification, claims submission, payment posting, denial management, accounts receivable (A/R) follow up, as well as RCM data analytics. “Unlike the U.S. medical industry where I’ve previously worked with hospitals and health systems, there is a lack of dental industry specific curriculum for professionals working within or overseeing the RCM function at DSOs,” said Sina S.
