We call the insurance, or I go on their website and do it. Yeah, we manually do it.

We have a third party insurance verification team that does it for us. I’m not too sure, maybe like seven, ten minutes.
Front office lead, general dentistry
Our system does it, and the ones that are not set up for electronic, we do ourselves.
Practice manager, multi-provider group
