The 835 Auto Posting feature in Denticon is a process in which payments from insurance companies are automatically posted to a patient’s account.
Does your practice handle electronic claims? If so, you’re probably familiar with terms like 837 files and 835 files. For those who are new to the topic, an 837 file is claim information sent by providers (dental practices like you) to payors (insurance companies), and an 835 file is payment information sent from payors to providers for services rendered. Because these are electronic files, they can be automatically processed within Denticon.
