CDT is not CPT, and dental carriers reject for reasons of their own: a missing x-ray attachment, a frequency limitation, an annual maximum already spent by June. Practices post these administrative seats from $7/hr in USD and pay you directly, with no FindTalent cut.
Dental billing pays for a different skill set than medical billing, and employers price that specificity. Entry work is submitting clean CDT claims, posting insurance payments, and running the aging report while an office manager reviews you. Your rate rises when you start stopping preventable denials before they happen: pulling a full benefits breakdown, watching annual maximums and frequency limitations, and attaching the right x-rays, perio charting, or narrative on the first submission instead of after the rejection. Appeals on downgrades and coordination of benefits across two dental plans are where the money sits. Depth in Dentrix, Eaglesoft, Open Dental, or Curve, plus real volume with carriers like Delta Dental, MetLife, Guardian, or United Concordia, moves you up the $7 to $15 an hour span. Your employer pays you directly in USD, and FindTalent takes no cut.

Yes, and more often than in medical billing, because far fewer people train specifically for dental. Dental assistants and front-desk staff move across all the time. Learn the CDT categories, take a dental billing course, and get hands on a practice management system trial. Entry seats start with submission and payment posting under an office manager.
Both, and dental leans more part-time than medical does. Single-location practices often want 15 to 25 hours a week purely on insurance claims and aging follow-up. Because carrier portals and phone lines run on US office hours, expect an evening or graveyard shift for anything involving live calls. Submission and posting work can sit outside those hours.
Directly by your employer in USD, normally via Wise, PayPal, or direct deposit. You agree the rate with the practice before you start, hourly or as a monthly retainer, and no percentage of collections is taken by the platform. FindTalent takes no cut of your pay, and creating a profile and applying is free for talent.
A reliable computer, stable internet, a headset for carrier calls, and a private workspace. You will be opening x-rays and perio charts daily, so a decent monitor genuinely helps. Patient records are protected health information: work on an encrypted, password-protected device, expect to sign a Business Associate Agreement, and keep everything inside the practice’s approved systems rather than personal email.
Profile review takes 1–2 days. Most dental biller hires on FindTalent reach an offer within two weeks, and faster if you already know the practice’s software. Put your carriers, your monthly claim volume, and the systems you have billed from on your profile. A short voice intro helps, because a lot of this job is phone time with carriers.
The code set, the form, and the plan design. Dental uses CDT codes on the ADA claim form; medical uses CPT and ICD-10-CM on the CMS-1500. Dental plans run on annual maximums, waiting periods, and frequency limits, and they routinely need x-rays or narratives attached. A medical biller needs real retraining before being useful on dental claims, and the reverse holds too.
Dentrix and Eaglesoft come up most in US practices, with Open Dental and Curve growing quickly and Carestream still in the mix. Pick one and get genuinely deep rather than listing five you have barely opened. Open Dental and Curve are the easiest to try independently. Expect to walk through submitting a claim, posting a payment, and pulling an aging report.
