Nobody Told Me That! A Dental Podcast with Teresa Duncan episodes

  • Special Episode: The Dental Billing Lie Everyone Believes

    More management and insurance knowledge in my newsletter: https://www.odysseymgmt.com/newsletter

    In this special takeover episode, Ashley Bond shares why dental billing isn't a solo job, it's a team sport. When hygienists, assistants, and front office staff work in sync, claims get paid on the first try. Clinical notes play a critical role here; detailed SOAP notes (Subjective, Objective, Assessment, Plan) ensure accuracy and prevent denials.

    Ashley shares how poor documentation and missing details like forgetting how old a crown is can cost practices thousands. She explains why "stock narratives" no longer cut it and how patient-specific notes support both revenue and liability protection.

    Using clinical note templates built around procedure codes, real-time communication, and tracking denials can dramatically reduce resubmissions. Ashley emphasizes that the administrative load on dental teams is heavier than ever and why outsourcing billing to specialists can free up time, restore patient trust, and prevent burnout.

    Outsourcing isn't just delegation, it's collaboration. With structured documentation, clear systems, and a trusted billing partner, every part of the practice works smarter, not harder.

  • EP 160 True Crime: California Dentist "Reign of Terror"

    Dr. Bicuspid Editor-in-Chief Kevin Henry joins me to discuss some crazy current events! A California dentist has been sentenced to 75 years to life in state prison after what prosecutors called a "reign of terror." The man's crimes included multiple sexual assaults against five female patients and an extern, with victims ranging in age from 19 to 73. Prosecutors said he treated the women "as his playthings," committing the assaults while they were under anesthesia and alone in his office.

    What broke the case open was the courage of a dental assistant, who secretly filmed one of the assaults, exposing the abuse and ending years of unchecked violence. The conversation examines how this could happen inside a dental practice where patients should feel safest and the red flags that every dental professional must recognize. From patient safety and sedation oversight to the ethics of working alone with anesthetized patients, this disturbing story forces the industry to confront hard truths about accountability and protection.

    Our discussion continues into the state of the dental profession today. A new Delta Dental study shows preventive care has finally returned to pre-pandemic levels, but capacity hasn't caught up. Hygienist shortages continue to strain practices, and legislative moves across states like licensure compacts and the rise of oral preventive assistants aim to fill the gaps.

    There's also a sharp look at data trends: claims show a rise in occlusal guards and fillings, signaling more stress-related wear and tear, and new fraud triggers are catching the attention of insurers. Teresa and Kevin unpack how AI, remote admin roles, and shifting workforce models are reshaping the business of dentistry and what every practice owner needs to know to adapt.

  • EP 159 My Takeaways From The NADP Meeting

    Every year, I attend Converge, the annual conference of the National Association of Dental Plans (NADP). It's where I explore the latest issues and challenges faced by carriers and providers. I've watched the evolving partnerships between carriers and DSOs and observed the increase in network leasing concerns, I wanted to share my observations with you. I listened to compliance updates, discussed the expanding role of Medicare Advantage, and other issues shaping the future of dental coverage.

    What am I sharing? My thoughts on the amount of audits and fraud in our industry. Are you at risk? Multi-factor authentication is becoming a priority for both small practices and large DSOs. Plus, I'll highlight the questions to ask before outsourcing billing or revenue cycle management in today's third-party–driven market.

    Let me know if you like this kind of reporting. It was a lot more fun than I expected!

  • EP 158 Lessons Patients Taught Me The Hard Way

    More management and insurance knowledge in my newsletter: https://www.odysseymgmt.com/newsletter

    Lessons Patients Taught Me The Hard Way

    Some of the most powerful lessons in dentistry don't come from textbooks or training, but from real-life patient encounters that test your patience, humility, and adaptability. In this episode, I reflect on situations where patients pushed me out of my comfort zone and forced me to grow in ways I didn't expect. You'll hear how these interactions shaped my approach to communication, accountability, and practice management. More importantly, you'll discover why it's okay when patients don't connect with you and how to manage tough patient personalities. These aren't just stories to make you laugh; they're lessons to help you navigate the unpredictable world of patient care with confidence.

  • EP 157 The One Mistake That Could Wipe Out Your Dental Practice Overnight

    More management and insurance knowledge in my newsletter: https://www.odysseymgmt.com/newsletter

    Did you know a single ransomware attack can cost a dental office six figures or shut it down entirely?

    A small dental practice is an ideal target for a cyberattack easy to overlook, often underprotected, and rich with valuable patient data. Teresa Pichay (returning guest!) and Katie Fox from the California Dental Association joined me for a scary session. They shared how hackers use phishing emails, malware, and AI-powered scams to break into dental systems, steal information, and demand high ransoms. Many in dentistry assume they're too small to attract hackers, but that very assumption makes them more vulnerable to hacking attempts. Personal devices, outdated software, and unsecured networks create easy entry points.

    Even if the breach occurs through a third-party vendor, the dental office is still held responsible. Without strong cybersecurity protocols, HIPAA compliance, and safeguards in place, practices risk data exposure on the dark web or deep web, legal trouble, and costly service disruptions. Cyber liability insurance can help but prevention through secured systems, trained staff, and regular risk assessments is the only reliable defense in an AI-driven threat landscape.

    Did you know 80% of dental claim denials can be overturned with the right strategy?

    I love meeting fellow insurance nerds! My time with Dr. Christie Bateman was packed full! She shared how to master PPOs, Medicare Advantage plans, and complex prior authorization rules while protecting your bottom line. Dr. Christie breaks down the exact methods she uses to reverse denials, clear documentation, targeted patient photos, and short, persuasive appeals that insurance carriers can't ignore.

    Get the inside scoop on Liberty Medicare Advantage's extensive prior auth requirements and how direct advocacy led to changes that benefit dentists. We discussed the concept of "provider gold cards" that could dramatically reduce administrative workload. The conversation wraps up with real talk about how patient education can guide smarter insurance plan choices. It's not just about better coverage - it's about a smarter patient.

  • EP 155 Beyond Micromanagement: What Makes Today's Office Managers Great

    More management and insurance knowledge in my newsletter: https://www.odysseymgmt.com/newsletter

    Modern office managers lead through clarity, culture, and connection not control. My longtime friend and colleague Lorie Streeter joins me for a frank conversation about the lessons we've learned over the years.

    Micromanagement is everywhere, and dental teams are evolving whether leaders are ready or not. The shift from task-checking to true team empowerment is reshaping how successful practices run. We share stories of real managers navigating burnout, toxic dynamics, and panic hiring with surprising clarity.

    There's a raw conversation about what happens when doctors undermine authority, how culture breaks down quietly, and why emotional intelligence is now a non-negotiable skill. We tackle some unexpected truths about staffing "shortages," leadership blind spots, and what it actually means to build a team that runs on trust not fear. If you've ever carried more weight than your title suggests, this episode unpacks why... and what to do next.

  • EP 154 Dental Case Acceptance Tips: How Your Team Can Increase Treatment Acceptance Rates

    More management and insurance knowledge in my newsletter: https://www.odysseymgmt.com/newsletter

    Is the secret to more dental case acceptance hiding in plain sight right inside your own team?

    If you've ever wondered why some patients freeze at the mention of treatment costs, or how to handle those moments when someone starts Googling your every word from the chair, you're not alone. In this episode, Teresa talks with Angela Sullivan of Adaptive Dental Solutions about effectively helping teams boost treatment acceptance without feeling like a pushy salesperson. Angela shares stories and lessons straight from the operatory, from the power of a simple photo to honest talk about money and shares why confidence (not more facts) is what gets patients to say yes. The conversation covers everything from handling awkward price conversations to how handoffs and team communication can make or break your acceptance rates.

    They wrap up with a preview of their October 10 workshop on advanced dental career possibilities. If you've ever wondered what is 'Beyond the Operatory' then you'll love what they have planned!

  • EP 153 Dental Clues to Your Baby's Developmental Delays: What Every Parent Should Know

    More management and insurance knowledge in my newsletter: https://www.odysseymgmt.com/newsletter

    What if your child's speech or chewing could give you clues about hidden developmental delays?

    Did you know that your child's visit to the dentist could hold hidden insights into their overall development? Join host Teresa Duncan and guest Ann-Marie DePalma as they unravel the fascinating connections between a child's oral health and early signs of developmental delays—including conditions like autism. Discover why dental professionals might be the first to spot clues, from speech impediments to tongue ties, and how these seemingly minor oral challenges can indicate deeper issues in your child's physical and cognitive growth.

    But there's more: Ann-Marie explains how both clinical and administrative dental teams can play a critical role in identifying and supporting children with developmental delays, by looking for patterns during appointments and asking the right questions when families call. You'll also learn practical advice for parents—from understanding what happens if a tongue tie isn't treated, to the significance of early referrals for therapies such as myofunctional therapy.

    And it's not just about childhood—this episode explores broader themes of women's health in dentistry, including the role of hormones during menopause and their surprising link to conditions such as TMJ, TMD, and chronic headaches. Plus, get an insider's view on how artificial intelligence is transforming how dental offices track development, screen for health risks, and make the entire patient experience (from online scheduling to payments) more accessible.

    Whether you're a parent concerned about your child's speech, a dental professional encountering more patients with autism or developmental delays, or someone curious about the intersection of oral health, women's health, and modern technology, this episode is packed with essential insights and actionable tips to help you be proactive at every age and stage.

  • EP 152 Future of Interoperability of Dental Information with Steve Roberts, CEO of VYNE

    More management and insurance knowledge in my newsletter: https://www.odysseymgmt.com/newsletter

    Imagine a dental world where patient data flows as freely as it does in medicine—no more wasted time, lost information, or clunky workarounds. Vyne's CEO Steve Roberts sits down with me to discuss why the dental industry is ready for transformational change and what that means for claims processing, practice efficiency, and ultimately, better care for your patients. I shared my frustration at the unfairness of ptient data being gatekept just for profit. It could be happening to you - it just seems normal. But it's not right.

    Key Talking Points:

    • Why Patient Data Needs to Flow Freely

    Dental software systems shouldn't make it difficult or expensive to easily share patient information. Uncover how the lack of interoperability holds practices back, limits care quality, and what it will take to catch up to the medical field's standards.

    • The Evolution of Claims Processing & Real-Time Demands

    We talked about the trend of carriers seeing value in letting us have more access to claims and benefit information. How do we make it standard?

    • Change Healthcare's Security Breach—A Wake Up Call

    Hear lessons learned from last year's Change Healthcare security crisis that exposed vulnerabilities across the entire claims ecosystem. Find out what offices and vendors are doing to build redundancy, improve security, and ensure practices never face that kind of disruption again.

    Whether you're a dental professional looking to stay ahead of industry changes, or you're passionate about making your practice more efficient and resilient, this episode is packed with strategies and inspiration for embracing the future of dental claims and technology.
