The work, made specific

Support where the work
keeps piling up.

Choose a focused claims project or ongoing help with the billing work your practice needs most.

01 / CLAIMS & AGING

Insurance follow-up

  • Review an agreed insurance-aging batch and prioritize next actions.
  • Check claim status through authorized payer portals or phone calls.
  • Document payer responses, reference numbers and follow-up dates.
  • Identify missing attachments or office information needed to move a claim forward.
  • Prepare denial-response drafts for authorized review.
02 / BILLING WORKFLOW

Billing support

  • Review ready-to-bill claims for administrative completeness.
  • Submit agreed claims through practice-approved systems and permissions.
  • Track clearinghouse rejections and route corrections for review.
  • Post agreed insurance payments from supplied EOBs or ERAs.
  • Flag payment discrepancies and unresolved balances for office approval.
03 / PRACTICE OPERATIONS

A smoother handoff

  • Map responsibilities across submission, posting and follow-up.
  • Build checklists and handoff templates around your office’s workflow.
  • Identify repeated administrative bottlenecks.
  • Provide weekly activity summaries and a monthly review.
  • Offer separately scoped team training and marketing support.

Clinical documentation and coding decisions remain with the practice. Adjustments, write-offs and submissions follow the office’s agreed approval process.

Request a tailored scope

Hours are capacity limits, not unlimited billing coverage. Final claim volume, priorities and start date are written into your proposal. No extra work or fee increase without written approval. Monthly billing in advance; proposed month-to-month service with 30 days’ cancellation notice, subject to the signed agreement. No guaranteed insurer payment or recovery.

30-day Claims Cleanup PilotFrom $750

Up to 10 service hours on one agreed backlog batch, a baseline review, follow-up activity and a final status report. Ideal for testing the fit before ongoing support.

Workflow Review$350

One 60-minute discovery session, review of your non-patient workflow materials, and a written action plan with three priorities. Implementation is quoted separately.

Marketing Content Starter$500 / month

Four social captions with simple branded graphics and one patient-newsletter draft, with one consolidated revision round. Practice review required; publishing, ad spend, photography and patient outreach are excluded.

Daily benefits verification, credentialing, patient collections, live phone coverage, paid advertising and website builds are outside the monthly billing packages. Ask for a separate scope where available. Software and third-party charges are excluded unless stated in your proposal.

KJ
Your sidekick

Hi, I’m Kayla Johnson.

I know how much happens behind the front desk.

My background includes 11 years in dental marketing and office management, including five years in management, plus four years in dental sales.

I created Practice Sidekick to give dental owners and office managers a practical way to get support without adding another full-time role.

We agree on the work, keep the communication clear, and make progress visible. You work directly with me.

Let’s meet ↗
A few good questions

Before we
work together.

Can a new or smaller practice use this?

Yes. Claims Support or a cleanup pilot can be a focused starting point. We choose a workload that fits the agreed capacity, rather than assuming you need a full billing-management package.

Do you replace my office manager?

The service supports your existing team. We define which billing tasks I own and which stay with your manager, clinical team or current billing provider.

Which practice software do you support?

Tell me your software and clearinghouse during discovery. I confirm access, workflow fit and any training needs before agreeing to work. Compatibility with a specific system is not assumed.

What happens if we need more hours?

We prioritize the agreed work and review capacity before taking on extra tasks. Additional hours or expanded volume receive a separate written quote for approval. Unused hours do not roll over unless the agreement says otherwise.

Will you recover all our unpaid claims?

No payment or recovery is guaranteed. I document follow-up actions and outcomes; payer decisions, coverage, documentation and deadlines affect what can be resolved.

Can I send patient documents through this website?

Please use this website and email for business inquiries only. Patient records and billing documents are handled through practice-approved channels after onboarding.
