Treatment Insurance Coordinator

Lead Insurance Treatment Coordinator

We are seeking an experienced Lead Insurance Treatment Coordinator to own and oversee the financial and insurance coordination process for complex dental cases within a fast-paced, high-end, multi-specialty practice. This role is critical to ensuring that patients clearly understand their insurance benefits, financial responsibilities, and treatment timelines, while protecting the practice's revenue integrity and maintaining a premium patient experience.

This position requires a deep understanding of dental insurance, CDT codes, predeterminations, and multi-phase treatment planning. You will serve as the primary bridge between clinical recommendations, insurance carriers, and patient financial conversations. Doctors and leadership rely on this role for accuracy, consistency, and follow-through, especially when managing high-dollar, staged, or specialty-driven cases.

The Lead Insurance Treatment Coordinator must be able to confidently present complex treatment plans, submit and track pre-authorizations and predeterminations, verify benefits in detail, and explain coverage limitations in clear, patient-friendly language. You are expected to proactively identify financial barriers, offer appropriate payment solutions, and drive treatment acceptance, without compromising transparency or trust.

This role also requires airtight documentation, precise posting of procedures, and close collaboration with billing, front desk, and clinical teams to ensure financial alignment from case presentation through treatment completion. Excellence in communication, organization, and follow-up is non-negotiable, as this role directly impacts patient satisfaction, case completion, and overall practice performance.

This is not an entry-level insurance role. The ideal candidate has operated in a high-volume dental environment, understands the pace and expectations of luxury private practice, and takes full ownership of patient financial coordination while delivering a true five-star experience.
