Not every patient is a good fit for your practice. Life is actually easier when you prune the bad ones. If you've dealt with patients who miss appointments, delay payments, or even compromise your team's safety, this episode is for you. This episode breaks down when and why patient termination may be necessary.
You'll need a well-documented process for issuing termination letters and handling uncomfortable situations, like bumping into a terminated patient outside the office. Ensuring a safe, respectful work environment is essential. Your team deserves it.
Be sure to check the show notes for additional resources and links, including Teresa’s course on dental insurance design and management. Tune in and take notes—you won’t want to miss this one!
A few talking points:
Exploring patient termination: handling difficult revenue scenarios.
Document thoroughly for legal defense and audits.
Standard responses for difficult situations.

I'm sharing a recent podcast episode I recorded with my friends at A Breath of Fresh Air. Their podcast focuses on dental billing and they wanted my thoughts on our industry’s future.
We talked about the surprising ways dental and medical billing might start to merge, and why having top-notch training and qualifications isn't just a good idea — it's a must. And, of course, we’re dishing out plenty of practical tips, insider insights, and a few laughs along the way.
I hope this episode is helpful. Definitely check out their podcast for more dental billing talk!

You should know a few facts about leaving a network before you make any big decisions. In this solo episode, I share tidbits from my hundreds of strategy calls with dentists and managers on this topic. Typically the call starts out with a focus on how much revenue can be generated and patient reactions. I’m more concerned with level-setting your expectations and taking care of your team members.
Touchpoints:
Losing patients will suck
Why staying in touch with your patients is a requirement
Plan to begin a year ahead of termination
Are you ready to not just market but become a marketing machine?
Your team can torpedo your out of network dreams
Going out of network may not be the answer for you right now. Or this could persuade you to take the leap. I have no skin in the game. I just want you to be successful in your chosen business model. Hope this helps!

My friend Brant Herman joins me to talk about virtual clinical dentistry. It's not a stretch to call him a dental visionary. His Mouthwatch camera enabled low cost intraoral imaging at a time when documentation needs increased tremendously. It was a foray into teledentistry that led to our topic of virtual care solutions. Dentistry.one is helping dentists interact and treat patients who often can't make it into our offices. For all of you who want to help the underserved population but are reluctant to deal with state agencies, this is for you. I'm very hopeful about what Brant's doing and hope you become involved!
A few talking points:
Virtual dentistry’s staying power
COVID-19’s impact on his teledentistry company
The future of dentistry - I love this topic!

In this episode, I interviewed Dr. Mike Barniv who has impressive street cred in the AI, carrier and clinical arenas. He’s currently the VP of Clinical Affairs at Pearl.

A few talking points:
How does AI help dentists to efficiently examine historical images to chart disease progression
Using AI to meet carrier documentation criteria
Is AI just denying everything?
This is one for the insurance nerds (my people😎). Enjoy!

Returning guest India Chance joined me for another infection control, bug-filled episode! She's the founder of Learn to Prevent and always teaches me something new. Sometimes I wish I didn't know it but it's important for our patients and practices. Some highlights from our talk:
Infection Control and Compliance: Autoclaves - who knew they could be a hot topic? See what I did there? 😄 We talked tracking parameters for every autoclave cycle and how digital solutions are becoming the standard.
HIPAA Compliance: She shared what to expect during an audit and how to deal with the stress on managerial staff and practice owners. India shares why it motivated her to create a comprehensive onboarding program for new hires.
The Importance of Compliance: India talks about her transition from dental hygienist to an infection control inspector.
Social Media and Compliance: The potential risks and repercussions of posting on social media platforms, especially concerning HIPAA, OSHA violations, and infection control breaches, are highlighted. Release forms and best practices for using patients' images or likeness on social media - make sure you have them or risk legal action!
