IF: You know the difference between a clean claim and a claim that disappears into the insurance black hole.

IF: You know how to verify benefits, submit accurate out-of-network claims, post EOBs, work aging, and stay on the phone until you get a real answer.

Then you may be the right fit for us and our amazing office.

Tuscarora Family Dental is looking for an experienced Dental Receptionist/Insurance Coordinator to own that process.

We are a modern, privately owned, fee-for-service dental practice. While we are not in-network with most plans, we submit out-of-network claims as a courtesy to our patients. That means this role is a major part of our patient experience, our collections, and the confidence our team has in every financial conversation.

This is not an entry-level position. We are looking for someone with strong, hands-on dental insurance experience who can work independently, stay organized, and follow claims through to resolution.

What You’ll Be Responsible For

Verify and document out-of-network dental benefits before patient appointments
Clearly communicate estimated insurance benefits and patient responsibility
Submit accurate dental claims, including narratives, radiographs, perio charting, and other required attachments
Follow up on outstanding, delayed, denied, and underpaid claims
Post insurance payments and EOBs accurately
Work insurance aging reports and keep follow-up notes current
Communicate with insurance carriers to resolve claim issues and payment discrepancies
Help patients understand their insurance benefits, claims, EOBs, and financial responsibility
Coordinate with the doctor, clinical team, and front office so financial information is accurate and consistent
Assist with phones and front-office support
Assist with scheduling
Assist with check out and payment reconciliation
Help improve systems that reduce preventable denials and keep claims moving

You’re a Great Fit If You Have

At least 3 years of direct dental insurance and billing experience
Solid experience handling out-of-network dental claims from start to finish
Experience verifying benefits, submitting claims, posting EOBs, working aging, and resolving denials
A working knowledge of deductibles, annual maximums, frequencies, limitations, waiting periods, downgrades, exclusions, and coordination of benefits
Strong attention to detail and the ability to stay organized without constant supervision
The confidence to communicate professionally with patients, team members, and insurance carriers
A positive attitude, dependable attendance, and a team-player mindset
Experience with Open Dental is a plus

Candidates without substantial dental insurance experience will not be considered.

What You’ll Find at Tuscarora Family Dental

A role where your experience matters and your work has a direct impact
Competitive pay based on experience
