With its three-year growth rate exceeding 1,000 percent, eAssist Dental Solutions (www.dentalbilling.com) has earned a spot on the prestigious Inc. 500 — the definitive and highly regarded listing of the nation's fastest-growing private enterprises. The company checks in at #427, and this marks the second year in a row for this elite recognition, proving that eAssist is building a foundation for sustained success.
"We created eAssist to solve a problem that I know from personal experience all dental offices face: how to efficiently manage the accounts receivable portion of the business," explained CEO Dr. James Anderson. "We had previously searched for a third-party organization to handle dental insurance claim submissions and appeals, but no one had quite the right tools and competencies to deal with the unique business needs of the dental office. So, we quickly realized we would need to engineer a solution ourselves, and that was the start of eAssist."
Founded in 2011, the purpose of eAssist is to provide front office administrative support for dental offices. Its core product, dental insurance billing collection support, helps dental offices collect what is owed to them from insurance companies by submitting all dental insurance claims for patients, appealing rejected claims, and posting all EOBs (explanation of benefits) payments to patient's ledgers. This workflow ensures that insurance claims are thoroughly reviewed before being submitted to dental insurance companies—fixing common errors that cause claims to be rejected. Additionally, dental offices that adopt the system need no longer worry about appealing rejected claims. eAssist handles the entire dental insurance collection process and has a high success rate. Other dental front office administrative services that eAssist provides are dental accounting, hospital dental billing, dental insurance verification, and medical claims submission for certain dental procedures.
The benefits of eAssist for all sizes of dental offices are immediate and measurable. No longer will staff feel overburdened with responsibilities. Instead, office personnel can give their attention to personalized customer service, thus helping the office build a good reputation. eAssist dental office clients increase profitability by allowing office staff's attention on patients in the office rather than on highly skilled clerical functions.
"The Inc. 500 is the most persuasive evidence I know that the American dream is still alive," said Eric Schurenberg, president and editor-in-chief of Inc. "The founders and CEOs of the Inc. 500 tell us they think determination, risk-taking, and vision were the keys to their success, and I believe them."
eAssist Dental Solutions joins such prestigious names as Microsoft, Under Armour, Zappos, Timberland and Intuit, among many others, who earned spots on the Inc. 500 on the path to becoming household names. Anderson and his team at eAssist are continuing to work hard as part of ensuring the company's ongoing success and acclaim.
