Dental Insurance Reimbursement: My Paycheck Depends on It

This workshop will provide for you the basic skills and information needed to cope with, as well as profit from, market changes. Benefit plan provisions, limitations, exclusions and carve outs of coverage can have a direct correlation with the patient accepting comprehensive treatment. Learn to work with and understand the patient plan. Tom's "Seven Keys to Reimbursement Success" is a winning strategy for every dental office team.

Learning Objectives

• Document diagnostic specifics in order to secure more comprehensive reimbursement
• Implement phase treatment plans that help patients say "yes" to both improved oral health and aesthetics
• Produce sound financial arrangements as well as separate benefits assessment to help the patient make the most of their plan

Simplify Reimbursement with More New Codes? Are You Kidding?

CDT was supposed to make our lives easier. Is it? Do more redefined codes make the plan now pay more for the procedure? This workshop will focus on the most common, as well as challenging, sections of the coding sequence. Clinical scenarios will be discussed from both the clinical as well as administrative perspectives. Tom will help your office eliminate barriers and improve billing communication to all parties involved. Appropriate coding will take the mystique (as well as headache) out of the reimbursement process.

Learning Objectives

• Accurately document, code, bill and collect for today's completed treatment
• Produce supplemental attachments to support the doctor's clinical findings as well as subsequent treatment plan
• Improve communication with your patients so they receive the greatest benefit from their plan when everyone involved speaks the same language
