Tiffany Van Curen
@tiffanyvancuren
Dental Office Manager and Dental Assistant with 20+ years improving billing accuracy, credentialing, and front-office operations.
What I'm looking for
I’m an experienced Dental Office Manager and Dental Assistant with over 20 years supporting high-volume family and pediatric dental practices. I’m known for improving billing efficiency, reducing unpaid claims, and keeping front-office operations running smoothly.
Since 2015, I’ve led all front-office, administrative, and financial operations for a private pediatric practice. I manage accounts receivable, insurance billing, and claims reconciliation to maintain consistent cash flow, while coordinating patient scheduling to maximize provider productivity.
I bring strong expertise in provider credentialing and re-credentialing with multiple insurance carriers. I also recruit, onboard, train, and supervise front-office and clinical staff, and I develop and enforce office policies and procedures to improve workflow efficiency and patient experience.
Earlier in my career (1999–2012), I supported chairside dental procedures and handled accounts receivable, insurance submissions, payment posting, and insurance claim follow-up. I continued to support multiple practices as a substitute dental assistant (2013–2014), quickly adapting to different office systems and workflows.
