Need help growing your oral surgery practice? These articles offer valuable insights especially for enhancing the revenue and growth of OMS businesses.

As the leader of an oral surgery practice, you’re more than familiar with the unique challenges of operating and growing an OMS practice. 

Unlike general dental practices, your oral surgery practice offers more complicated procedures, and also has a more complex billing workflow, since both medical and dental insurance are typically included in the claims filing process. 

With those extra steps in a complicated billing system come extra opportunities for error — if you don’t have experts and efficient workflows in place. We bring the experts and the efficiency. 

That’s why we’re sharing 5 of our top resources that are tailored to the needs of OMS professionals.

At DCS, we have a department dedicated to OMS billing and ensuring you collect all you’re owed from both insurance payers and patients. Here are the resources our OMS experts helped me curate for you.
