For dentists and office managers

Training a new front desk hire?

New front desk hires take weeks to get comfortable with insurance, the schedule and the phones, and someone on your team has to teach them. Front Office Essentials does the teaching, with practice calls instead of shadowing.

One new hire

Enroll them in Front Office Essentials

About 20 hours they can do before day one or between patients: 24 scored practice calls, insurance and EOB simulations, a mock practice software lab and a final exam. You get a new hire who already knows what “verify benefits” and “post the EOB” mean.

    Phones, scheduling, check-in and check-out, privacy and families.

  • Insurance and money

    Benefits, estimates, claims, EOBs, the ledger and money conversations.

  • Keep patients coming back

    Hard conversations, front desk tech, recall, referrals, emergencies and your numbers.

  • Get hired

    Your resume, a practice interview, a full day at the desk and the final exam.

The EOB reader simulation: an Aetna PPO explanation of benefits with submitted, allowed, deductible, plan paid and patient columns and two remark codes.
The capstone simulation: a Tuesday at Maple Grove Dental, from overnight handoffs and the morning huddle to posting an EOB and the end-of-day close.
