Don’t miss The What, Why, and How of Medical Billing and walk away with practical know-how for successfully billing medical insurance for dental procedures.
Medical billing can feel confusing, but it doesn’t have to be. When used the right way, it helps patients get the care they need, makes sure your practice is paid fairly, and supports growth. This webinar gives a straightforward look at what medical billing is, how it helps patients and practices alike, and how to put it into place in your practice. You’ll learn the basics of billing, how dental and medical coverage connect, and how to avoid mistakes that lead to denied claims or lost income.
The What, Why, and How of Medical Billing
-
By the end of this webinar, you will be able to:
Use medical billing to help your practice earn more.
Bill the right way so your team and patients have less financial stress.
Cut down on denied claims, and increase payments.

Laurie Owens, CPC, CPB, Director of Medical Billing Education for PPO Profits, brings over 20 years of experience educating dental practices on billing medical insurance and the techniques to get claims paid. Laurie believes that patients should be able to utilize their medical insurance for procedures due to oral systemic conditions. Through on-site training, medical billing for dentistry courses, follow-up consulting, along with Seattle Study club, ACT Dental, and AADOM lectures, Laurie has assisted dental practices in successfully billing insurance to collect benefits that would have otherwise been unclaimed. Her training on medical billing has increased practice revenue and patient satisfaction.
