Medical cost management services provider Healthcare Solutions has expanded its specialty healthcare services division to include dental services.
The dental services program offers referral management services and nationwide access to credentialed dental professionals. The program is clinically based and employs utilization management strategies to contain costs and help ensure dental procedures are necessary and lead to optimal outcomes for claimants, according to the company.
The addition of dental services complements the company's suite of medical management services, and helps its customers in the workers' compensation and auto/personal injury protection (PIP) markets reduce overall medical expenditures, according to Healthcare Solutions.
Dental injuries are often an overlooked area of medical spending, according to Healthcare Solutions. It is essential for payors to utilize a partner that understands the complexities of dental injury claims and can help ensure claimants receive the most clinically appropriate treatment, the company noted.
