The names, amounts and notes on it are made up; the notes are the business’s own wording, not BillingMart’s. How it bills ## The medical / dental billing flow From the estimate to the payment, the steps this kind of work usually follows. Phase 1 Step 01 ### Treatment Plan Cost Estimation Send a treatment plan (an estimate) listing each procedure and the expected patient share, which the patient accepts in one click from their portal. Phase 2 Step 02 ### Post-EOB Patient Statement Once the carrier’s Explanation of Benefits (EOB) arrives, bill the patient’s share with the date of service, provider and amount paid by insurance. The insurance claim # is a field on the statement for your records; it is not printed on the patient’s copy. Phase 3 Step 03 ### Installment Care Plans & Card Payment Split larger balances into monthly installments the patient pays by card through the pay link or their patient portal. Built for this trade ## Compassionate, Transparent Patient Invoicing Reduce confusion over insurance adjustments and patient responsibility Medical and dental billing is notoriously frustrating for patients. When statements show confusing codes, obscure adjustment columns, or surprise co-pays months after treatment, patients delay payment or dispute the balance. BillingMart statements carry the date of service, provider and amount paid by insurance in their own fields, beside the procedure lines, and an in-network adjustment is a credit note against the statement, so the patient balance is plain. The insurance claim # is a field for the practice, kept off the patient’s copy. For high-cost dental or elective medical procedures, practices can set up installment plans, for example 3 monthly payments, and patients can turn on card autopay in their portal. ### What it does for this trade - Date of service and provider printed on statements; the insurance claim # kept on your copy - A paid-by-insurance field beside the procedure lines - Installment plans that issue and chase themselves (3 suggested) - Reminders 15, 30, and 60 days after the due date, pausable per statement ### Instant Configuration Selecting this industry profile pre-populates all terminology, custom fields, and dunning cadences in your workspace.

An insurance payment is recorded as a payment against the statement, and a contractual adjustment is a credit note, so patients see their exact out-of-pocket balance. **Can practices offer monthly patient installment plans?** Yes. Installment plans split a balance into scheduled monthly statements (e.g. 3 payments of $200.00). Patients can save a card in their portal and turn on autopay. **Can patients pay with HSA or FSA debit cards?** Patients pay by card on the pay page. An HSA or FSA card is charged like any other card your merchant account accepts; there is no HSA- or FSA-specific handling. **How does the reminder schedule treat patients differently from commercial debtors?** The Medical & Dental model spaces reminders further apart: 15, 30, and 60 days after the due date. You can change the cadence or pause reminders on any single statement. ## Start billing your practice Start on the free plan, with no credit card required to sign up.
