Efficient Practice Podcast

In this episode of The Efficient Practice Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Tontra Lowe—dentist, Army veteran, and founder of Professional Auxiliary Training to talk about how dentists can unlock a “second wallet” for patients by billing medically necessary dental procedures through medical insurance.What you’ll learn in this episode:

• Why many routine dental procedures qualify as medically necessary

• How medical billing helps patients afford treatment and say “yes” to care

• Practical tips to start billing medical insurance in your practice

• Virtual and In-Office Training opportunities to help your team maximize reimbursements and improve patient care.

Outside the office, Dr. Lowe is a wife, mother, lifelong learner, and educator. She mentors dental professionals, helps practices thrive, and is passionate about making oral health education accessible to children and young adults in her community.👉 Learn more at ProAuxTraining.com

🎙 In this episode of The Efficient Practice Podcast, I chat with The New Dentist Coach, Dr. Darwin Hayes—an expert in helping dentists and dental students increase their chances of matching into competitive specialty programs like Orthodontics, Oral Surgery, and more.

From his diverse experiences—as a military dentist, private practice owner, group practice clinician, and Dental Director of one of the largest residency programs in the country—Dr. Hayes explains how each role shaped the insights he uses to guide future specialists today.

In this episode of The Efficient Practice Podcast, I discuss Better Patient Scheduling that doesn't require roller skates.  Many times, I hear dentists complain of schedules that are too jammed packed, resulting in not having enough time to complete procedures, running behind, working through lunch and working late.  This poor scheduling can keep the doctor and team 'busy' which does not equal productive.  Days where it seems as if the the team has seen a gazillion patients all to find out that the end of day reports reveal they haven't been productive or better yet profitable can increase stress, mistakes and fatigue for the entire office team.

Rest assured there is a better way, and this episode elaborates on how the doctor must take control and create a schedule that runs efficiently with less stress and yes, more productivity and profitability.  No Roller Skates Required!

During this New Practice Series, topics and systems will be addressed that allow the practice owner to set up their dental practice the right way from the beginning thus enabling their practice to quickly achieve productivity and profitability all while eliminating stress.

In this Episode of the Efficient Practice Podcast, New Practice Series, I discuss the top 3 mistakes your dental team makes that Increase Broken Appointments and No-shows! 

Nothing wreaks havoc on a dental office's schedule more than broken appointments and no-shows. 

Many doctors spend heavily on marketing in an effort to get the phone ringing and patients scheduled. But what happens when the schedule appears full, only for the team to arrive to the office to a slew of cancellation phone calls or worse, a day of no-shows? There are some simple systems to put in place to increase patient show rates, but first, the office must recognize and correct their subtle or not so subtle actions that may be reinforcing broken appointments/no-shows. 

During this New Practice Series, topics and systems will be addressed that allow the practice owner to set up their dental practice the right way from the beginning thus enabling their practice to quickly achieve productivity and profitability all while eliminating stress.
