Electronic Data Interchange (EDI)  
     
  Dental Network of America, Inc. (DNoA) is committed to making the process of filing claims as streamlined and efficient as possible. Claims may be filed electronically to reduce administrative costs, improve accuracy and expedite payment. In an effort to increase electronic claims submissions, DNoA has entered into a contractual arrangement with:  
     
   
     
  Affiliated Network Services (ANS)* - offers ANSLink® and ANSClearinghouse a solution for administrative and claims processing services.
ANSClearinghouse works in conjunction with most practice management systems, allowing providers to submit claims directly from their current software for a nominal fee that is approximately thirty percent lower than the average industry price. If a provider office does not have software to transmit EDI claims, ANS will provide basic software at no additional cost. All connections to ANSClearinghouse are toll free and there are no long-term contracts to sign. Participation is handled on a month-to-month basis. ANSLink is a FREE Internet based service that does not require special software – only a computer and access to the Internet – and is accessible 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This service allows the provider to perform the following functions:
 
     
 
  • Verifying eligibility and benefits
  • Claims submission
  • Treatment reporting
