This week, David and Pam uncover one of the biggest missteps in the insurance credentialing process—accepting the initial fee schedule from insurance companies without negotiation. This costly mistake can lead to significant financial losses over the span of your career. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Effective negotiations, both before you credential and as an ongoing practice, you can save millions in write-offs and secure better reimbursements from the plans you work with. Tune in to learn proven strategies that will empower you to work with, not be played by insurance companies.

In today’s episode, David and Pam tackle one of dentistry's most pressing questions: Why do our priorities and approaches to perio treatment differ so vastly between dental and dental hygiene professionals? Joined by the insightful Dr. Mia Geisinger and renowned hygienist Katrina Sanders, RDH, they explore how we can bridge the gap and collaborate more effectively to ensure our patients' periodontal health. But that's not all—this discussion goes beyond clinical care to address a critical concern for many practices: profitability. Is it true that hygiene can’t be profitable, or are we overlooking opportunities to boost revenue from hygiene operations? Tune in to discover actionable strategies that can transform both patient outcomes and your bottom line.
