FULL TIME

A dental treatment coordinator presents the costs and details of the suggested dental plan to patients and works with them to confirm insurance coverage and payment plans. After patients have been examined, they leave the exam room and go into a separate room to discuss timelines and costs with a dental treatment coordinator. The role of a dental treatment coordinator is similar to that of a sales closer. Dental treatment coordinators need to understand the necessity of the treatment to be able to address objections and explain the value of the results and procedures that a patient receives as outlined in the treatment plan. Having a dental treatment coordinator in the office allows the dental professionals to focus on the actual treatment and not on the signing of contracts and insurance issues.
