Northbridge Dental Solutions specializes in persistent, professional AR follow-up and denial recovery for solo and small group dental practices — turning aged claims into real revenue.
Every unpursued claim is a silent profit for the payer. Here's what's quietly bleeding your practice.
D0274, D0220, D1208, D0330, D4910, D0140 — we see these across every practice we work. Frequency limits and missing documentation are the cause every time.
Found in 100% of audited practicesAcross our portfolio, practices average 14–17 days from date of service to submission. Every day of lag is a day closer to timely filing limits.
We average under 7 daysAcross 5,886 active claims we manage, the average unresolved claim is worth $575. At 100+ open claims, that's $57,000+ waiting on a phone call.
$495–$863 range across practice typesIndustry standard for a fully worked AR is 85%+. Most practices we audit have $40K–$120K sitting beyond 60 days with no one actively pursuing it. That gap — from 17% to 85% — is exactly what we close.
Industry benchmark: 85%+ with dedicated follow-upWe’re selective about who we take on — our model only works when there’s real AR to recover. Match 3 or more below and we’ll almost certainly find significant money in your audit.
Payers have timely filing limits and internal processes designed to outlast your follow-up. We know how they work — and we beat them at their own game.

From our live AR portfolio of 5,886 active claims across multiple practices, these procedure codes trigger the highest denial volume. If you’re billing any of these — you likely have unresolved denials sitting in your AR right now.
Most common denial across every practice we work. Payers enforce strict frequency limits — if you bill before the patient's reset date, it's auto-denied.
Appears in 100% of our client filesMost plans don't cover fluoride for adults over 18. When it slips through without pre-check, it's denied — every time. Frequency limit issue, not billing error.
Across our active portfolioHigh-value code frequently denied due to missing clinical justification or frequency conflict. Requires documented medical necessity to overturn.
Across our active portfolioPayers demand charting notes, probing depths, and periodontal diagnosis history. Missing any one piece = denial. Most practices don't appeal these — we do.
Across our active portfolioBundled with other X-ray codes by most payers, or denied as duplicate when billed on same date as bitewings. Requires specific unbundling documentation.
Seen across every practice we auditDenied when billed same day as a comprehensive exam or routine cleaning. Payers read this as duplicate — needs correct date-of-service documentation to resolve.
Seen across every practice we auditWe’ve resolved 1,000+ of these exact denial types across our active client base — we know the precise documentation each payer requires.
We specialize in Cigna, Delta Dental, Aetna, MetLife, BCBS, and United Healthcare — the 6 payers responsible for the majority of all dental AR denials nationally.
Data from our active AR portfolio — all practice and patient information de-identified per HIPAA Safe Harbor (45 CFR §164.514(b)).

$1.5M in outstanding AR across 3,030 claims with no systematic follow-up process. Cigna, Delta Dental, Aetna, and Principal Life were each holding 100+ open claims simultaneously.
Batched all claims by payer — not by date. Filed timely-filing appeals on 360 claims already past 30 days. Separated D0274 denials (103 instances) for a single documentation correction sweep.
$387,000 recovered in the first active cycle. Avg claim value: $495. Submission lag reduced to under 7 days.
33% of volume was Medicaid (DentaQuest, MCNA, UHC Medicaid) — a payer type with completely different rules, portals, and timelines than PPO. Claims were being processed through one mixed workflow causing bottlenecks on both sides.
Split into two parallel tracks: portal-first workflow for all Medicaid claims, phone-first for PPO. Obtained portal access on day one to eliminate EOB retrieval delays.
$98,600 recovered from $414K in AR. Average claim-to-submission lag: 6 days. Zero timely-filing denials after onboarding.
$930K in AR across 1,192 claims. Single largest payer held 237 open claims alone. Staff was making individual calls per claim — spending 3× the time needed.
Weekly payer-batching model: one call session per payer, multiple claims resolved. D0220 and D0274 denials corrected with a single documentation template, resubmitted in bulk.
$243,000 recovered. 627 claims fully closed. 153 additional claims confirmed pending payment. Per-claim follow-up time reduced by 60%.
All practice identifiers, patient names, and location data removed per HIPAA Safe Harbor de-identification standard (45 CFR §164.514(b)).

contact@dentaldenialrecovery.com 📞 Request a 15-Min CallWe review your last 90 days of claim submissions, denial history, and AR aging buckets (0–30, 31–60, 61–90, 90+ days). You receive a report showing your denial rate, net collection ratio, and a dollar estimate of recoverable AR — with no cost and no commitment required.
We work on a pure contingency model — you pay a percentage of what we actually collect. No collections, no fee. Typical range is 10–18% of recovered revenue, agreed in writing before we start. The exact rate depends on your AR volume and practice type. Zero setup fees. Zero monthly retainer. The audit is always free.
We work with all major dental PMS platforms: Dentrix, Eaglesoft, Open Dental, Curve Dental, Carestream, and Dolphin. You keep your existing software — we work inside it.
Most practices see payments from recovered claims within 30–45 days of onboarding. Aged 90+ day AR may take longer depending on payer timelines, but we pursue all recoverable claims in parallel from day one.
Yes. We operate under a signed Business Associate Agreement (BAA) and follow strict HIPAA protocols. All data is encrypted, access-controlled, and audit-logged. A BAA is provided to every client before onboarding begins.
A dedicated dental billing coordinator costs $3,500–$5,000/month in salary alone — before benefits, training, or turnover. You pay that whether they collect or not. With Northbridge Dental Solutions, you pay a percentage of what we actually recover. Zero collections means zero fee. Most practices find our service pays for itself within the first 30 days of recovered claims.
