• Maintain patient demographics and insurance information in Open Dental and support new patient intake.
• Use Weave for patient calls, texts, and outreach.
• Handle patient information with discretion and in full compliance with HIPAA.

Qualifications

• Minimum of 1 year of dental insurance verification experience in a U.S. dental office. General medical insurance verification does not qualify — only candidates with dental insurance experience will be considered.
• Bilingual in English and Spanish with excellent written and verbal communication skills. Fluent, natural spoken English with a clear, professional phone presence is required (American accent preferred).
• Experience documenting dental benefits and handling pre-authorizations / pre-determinations.
• Dental scheduling experience, including managing cancellations and no-shows.
• Strong attention to detail, accurate data entry, and the ability to follow scripts and procedures consistently.
• Solid understanding of HIPAA and patient confidentiality.
• Private, quiet home office with a reliable computer, high-speed internet, backup internet and power, and a noise-canceling headset.

Requirements

• Open Dental experience.
• Weave experience.
• Prosthodontic or periodontal practice experience.
• Experience in a busy dental front office or specialist scheduling.
