"We were introduced to Dentalxchange when our largest provider group selected a new practice management solution which the vendor had an established relationship with DentalXChange," explained Bob Meilke, Insurance Operations Manager at GHC-SCW. "It was a serious concern of GHC-SCW that we would be immediately impacted with a large volume of paper claims that have been submitted electronically. DentalXChange assured GHC-SCW that they would implement GHC-SCW and Dental Health Associates within weeks which they delivered! GHC-SCW is now successful processing claims and appreciate the responsive team of GHC/DentalXChange.com."
