Welcome to The Dental Billing Podcast, where dental billing, insurance reimbursement, leadership, compliance, and revenue cycle management are discussed without the fluff or gatekeeping.

love love love ❤️ your podcast. I too can talk dental billing, and coding all day long. One thing I would add for the medical billing is to make sure that your maximizing your patient’s benefit so if you’re doing a lot of oral surgery, bill the surgery to medical and then build the prosthesis to Dental because we know that medical is not going cover a prosthesis most times. Also, I'm not sure if many providers know that if you're in network with Blue Cross Blue Shield, you are in network both dental and medical. They are the only insurance that does reciprocal coverage as far as I know. Also CBCT to medical!!
