HIPAA Compliance During the COVID-19 Outbreak3 min

Insurance is meant to promote wellness and preventive healthcare—that’s why people have health insurance policies that assist them in affording their medical expenses. Hospitalization expenses tend to incur a high cost that can be largely unaffordable to many people. This is where  Dentulu’s HIPAA compliant mechanism comes to the forefront. COVID-19 is an ongoing crisis that leads to many casualties every day. The situation is critical and many people are being hospitalized due to complications. In order to combat the expense costs, HIPAA compliant mechanisms take care of the expenses incurred for the treatment.

Dentulu, a healthcare entity specializing in dentistry, plays a significant role in this regard. Dentulu ensures that patients get reimbursed as soon as possible. People affected with the coronavirus must pay for a lot of medical expenses. While the patient’s focus is to make a quick recovery, Dentulu’s focus is to take care of the patients’ medical expenses. This includes diagnosis expenses, pre-hospitalization, and post-hospitalization costs, including the consultation costs.

If you have insurance, the question is how can you recover the amount of the high cost of medical treatment? Going by the insurer’s rules and other administrative processes involved, claiming can actually be a complicated task. On the other hand, if you seek treatment through Dentulu’s HIPAA compliant mechanism, you can claim the amount very easily. You don’t have to do anything, as Dentulu has all the details of insurance and the insurer. The process occurs digitally through our Dentulu dental app. This app records all the valid patient information and their insurance policy. Thus, once you seek treatment through Dentulu, the necessary documents are automatically forwarded to the insurance company. After finding all the details, the insurance company verifies the detail and immediately channels the recovery amount due to the patient.  

Even if you seek treatment for coronavirus through teledentistry, you are entitled to get the insured amount back as per the eligibility criteria set. While using teledentistry, this communication technology records the treatment provider’s details along with the nature of treatment. Claiming is very easy as Dentulu adheres to the HIPAA compliance system. Dentulu has a wide network with many cashless healthcare facilities. We ensure that the patient doesn’t pay anything as the Dentulu dental app forwards the valid information to the necessary parties.

If you want to seek dental treatment, you can do so through teledentistry. The app will take care of your expenses. Steps ranging from applying to the claiming take place on their own through the dental app. Claiming can become vastly easier when you register with Dentulu.
