Top 8 Mistakes With Dental Insurance

Cost: Free
Time: 8:00 PM ET

Dental insurance can be one of the most frustrating aspects of working in dentistry. The rules and the process can be onerous and outright unfair.
However, the worst issues with insurance, the ones most commonly cited as major problems are not an issue with the process itself. The main problems lie in how we react or treat the process, which makes it far harder to understand and we get worse results (less reimbursement) due to a lack of understanding.

This session is designed to help you overcome the most common mistakes with dental insurance that are causing a lot of the problems most offices are having.

Are you ready to have an easier time with insurance AND to get better results?

Understand the Common Failures with the Insurance Process
Learn What to Avoid
Increase Efficiency and Results
