3 Must-Have SAAS Tools for Oral Surgrey

Without the right systems in place, oral & maxillofacial surgery (OMS) offices risk inefficiencies, revenue loss, and administrative burnout. That’s where smart SaaS (software as a service) tools come in — they can help practices streamline operations, improve cash flow, and reduce the strain on their front-office teams.

DCS specializes in dental revenue cycle management services, with a dedicated department for oral surgery billing.

Our suite of SaaS products — ZeroBalance, ScheduleFlow, and QuantaPay — enables both dental and oral surgery professionals to modernize patient billing, optimize scheduling, and simplify payment processing. This results in more consistent cash flow, more efficient teams, and happier patients.

Let’s explore these 3 must-have SaaS tools that every modern oral surgery practice needs to operate more effectively and profitably.

Key takeaways for oral surgery practice efficiency:

• Oral surgery procedures often involve significant costs — make patient payments seamless to ease the way.

• No-shows put a hurt on your projected revenue and can jeopardize patient health, especially in oral surgery.

• Oral surgery teams often struggle with administrative workloads — any manual tasks that can be automated should be automated.

ZeroBalance: Simplify & modernize patient collections

The Challenge: Many oral surgery practices struggle with patient collections. High balances from complex procedures can be daunting for patients, often leading to delayed payments and manual follow-up for your team.

This creates a significant administrative workload that could have been avoided, and also risks revenue loss in addition to frustrated patients.

ZeroBalance automates patient billing and collections with:

• Payment links sent as soon as the balance is known (no manual processing required)

• Quick outreach via email and text messages

• Automatic follow-ups with regular friendly reminders through email or text

• 24/7/365 payment acceptance from all major credit cards and wallet apps on mobile, tablet, or desktop

• Customizable payment plans

• Monitored direct deposits and outstanding balances

• Easy integration with all major practice management software

• Write-backs into your PMS — a time-saving and hard-to-find feature

• Detailed reporting for insightful business decision-making

The Impact: With these tasks automated by your ZeroBalance Payment Portal, you’ll see increased revenue with fewer overdue accounts, reduced administrative workload for your front-office staff, and improved patient satisfaction through convenient payment options tailored to each patient’s financial needs.

You’ll also easily access your office’s data and collections with ZeroBalance’s user-friendly dashboard. Read more here.

ScheduleFlow: Optimize appointment scheduling

The Challenge: Scheduling inefficiencies can cause major disruptions in your oral surgery office. No-shows, last-minute cancellations, and poorly executed appointment management lead to revenue loss and operational headaches — especially when a patient’s oral surgery is urgent.

ScheduleFlow improves booking efficiency with:

• Real-time availability: Through direct integration with your office's PMS system to display up-to-the-minute appointment slots

• Customized branding: A fully customizable scheduling link that reflects your office's branding, ensuring a familiar and consistent patient experience

• Reduced no-show rates: A card-on-file option for charging cancellation fees promotes a near 100% show-up rate

• Complex schedule handling: Sophisticated management of block scheduling, block outs, and other specialized scheduling needs

• Enhanced patient experience: A streamlined scheduling process with branded, post-booking confirmation messages via email or text

The Impact: When ScheduleFlow optimizes your scheduling process, you’ll have fewer no-shows, more efficient scheduling, increased appointment volume, and less stress for office staff responsible for scheduling logistics.

QuantaPay: Streamlined payment processing

The Challenge: Many oral surgery practices contend with hidden merchant fees, payment processing delays, and limited payment options that frustrate both patients and staff. Outdated systems and slow payment cycles can lead to missed revenue and negatively impact cash flow — especially if you’re spending too much on processing fees.

QuantaPay provides a seamless payment experience with:

• A free wireless terminal for front desk and chair-side payments

• Straightforward, industry-leading rates

  • 2.39% for all in-office payments
