The insurance lag problem

A dental practice can be fully booked and still feel short on cash. Patient copays come in at the front desk, but insurance claims may take weeks to pay. Add a hygienist hire or a new CBCT unit and the timing gets tight. That is why practice owners often compare a business line of credit with a merchant cash advance.

Line of credit: flexible coverage for claims timing

A line of credit gives you a limit to draw on while claims are processing, then repay when payers settle. Because it refreshes, it works month after month. Common uses:

See business line of credit for dental practices.

Merchant cash advance: one sum for a clear goal

An advance gives you the full amount up front, repaid out of future revenue. It suits investments with a defined price, such as adding an operatory, a practice refresh, or onboarding an associate. For imaging units or chairs, compare it with equipment financing for dental practices. Details on the advance itself are at merchant cash advance for dental practices.

Do insurance deposits count toward my revenue?
