In this episode Ericka speaks about some of the things that most dental billers over-look when managing a billing department. She also states that this episode may ruffle some feathers but she is OK with that. Some of the areas she discusses:

• Just because your claims get paid does not mean it was billed correctly.
• Having multiple years of experience does not mean you know better.
• Collections percentage does not mean your billing department is doing well.
• Look beyond the numbers on your insurance A/R report.
• What does your insurance profile really look like and what needs to be addressed?

We are also excited to announce that we will be hosting our annual The Ultimate Dental Billing Conference at the Disneyland Hotel on Friday, June 3rd 2022! Stay tuned for more information soon!

Have you ever searched for a dental front office school? Did you find one?

 Chances are even if you did there is no dental front office curriculum designed for individuals with no background in dentistry. Typically to work in the front you start in the back. In this episode Ericka talks about her journey and why behind creating the nations first dental front office certificate program. The curriculum was developed over an 18 month period in which she received input from dental celebrities' such as Fred Joyal of 1-800 Dentist, Howard Farran- CEO and Founder of DentalTown.com, Linda Miles, and dentists from all over the country.
