Growing up as a daddy's girl, Martell Coke faced incredible obstacles, from a family of 10 siblings to surviving a tough childhood without amenities such as toothbrushes or clean drinking water. But through determination and a fierce passion for education, she defied the odds and became an accomplished dental hygienist. Join me in this powerful episode as we uncover Martell's extraordinary journey and the lessons we can all learn from her resilience.

Martell and I dive into her backstory, exploring her experiences in two vastly different school systems and how they shaped her view of her own intelligence. We discuss the challenges she faced in pursuing her dreams and the financial obstacles that threatened to derail her success. As we delve further into her story, we uncover the realities of starting a nonprofit, Brown Girl RDH and building a thriving dental practice. 

In this inspiring conversation, Martell shares valuable insights on navigating patient balances, working with insurance companies, and understanding the financial side of running a successful dental practice. We also tackle the importance of authenticity and overcoming imposter syndrome. Don't miss this captivating episode as we celebrate the power of determination in the face of adversity and the impact of Martell's mission to empower other hygienists to be the best version of themselves.

As a Dental Billing Coach, I often have the pleasure of meeting other dental coaches who focus on the billing department. I love to discuss the challenges they see with the revenue cycle and how they address them. Some of the coaches I have met with, have extensive backgrounds in dentistry and recently took the leap into "dentalprenuer-ship". 

This is the case with today's guest, Mel Berg. She has quite the experience in dental billing and has recently set up her coaching business. Make no mistake, this woman knows her stuff! 

Listen to Mel and I have a casual yet informative conversation around dental billing do's and don'ts.

In this week's episode, Ericka has a conversation with Dr. Joshua Golden D.D.S. about his perspective on dental billing challenges in his practice. Dr. Golden has a beautiful practice in Sunrise, Florida called West Sunrise Dentistry. He takes pride in providing his patients with top-level dentistry. Insurance reimbursements are simply not cutting it when it comes to covering the costs of goods which leads to many frustrations for a Dentist and practice owner. 

As billers, our job is to maximize every penny owed to the practice. Doctors appreciate these efforts as the dental insurance landscape continues to evolve less and less in the doctor's favor. 

We hope you enjoy this conversation between Ericka and Dr. Golden! Please feel free to tell us any questions you have by sending us an email.

Part 2 of day 1 inside the lab! 

In this episode, Ericka continues to walk her students through the dental coding guide. 
Did you know that dentistry is divided into 12 categories of service? It is! As a dental biller, it is important to understand how to navigate through each category when you are looking for a code. This becomes even more important when you are learning to understand insurance categories of benefits.

Do you know what Locum Tenens is and how it applies to us as billers? This is when we hire a temporary doctor to cover the practice for a few days or weeks. Maybe our owner is going on vacation or had an emergency and needs time off but we do not want to stop production. Don't do what most offices do and bill with the owner as the treating dentist in box #53 on the claim form! That is bonafide FRAUD.

In this week's episode, Ericka talks about Locum Tenens and what you need to know about it when we need to know about it from a billing standpoint. Be sure to take notes because this is a short yet powerful episode. Enjoy!
