Proof is in the pictures
Intraoral camera images are invaluable when dealing with insurance claims. Documenting the patient’s condition with images provides undeniable proof.
For example, if treatment by the dental x-rays is suggested for a patient, dentist backs it up with pictures so the claim can’t be denied.
A claim is undeniable with a picture and highlighted with an arrow on it.
Instant education
Additionally, the images can help patients instantly understand why a particular procedure is being recommended.
The amount of information it conveys to the patient—that alone makes it a requirement.
When you document a patient with a camera, when that patient calls, the front desk can pull those up and see what work has been done on the patient.
It streamlines operation without interrupting the doctor. It enhances communication
The images can be shown to a spouse without having to schedule a second appointment, Dr. E-mailing the images for others to get a better understanding of the patient’s situation also is a benefit and there’s no limit on how many times the images can be sent.
Digital confirmation
For lesions or a biopsy, intraoral cameras can be used to provide digital confirmation.That has been a big help. Especially when referring to another dentist or specialist. Without a doubt.
