We learned so much this week on Humpday Happy Hour™ when we chatted with Tim Cluley & Scott Boldt from one of our favorite partner organizations, Midwest Dental! We got an in-depth look at how different changes in the dental industry strongly impact independently owned dental practices, and how MPS & AIDA Programs can help in our ever-changing industry.

Tim Cluley has been Chief Operating Officer at Midwest Dental Equipment & Supply in Wichita Falls, Texas for over 32 years and is a board member for Texas Oral Health Coalition, Inc. as of the past four years. As a graduate of Midwestern State University, he values account management and business development within the dental industry as some of his top skills.

Scott Boldt is no stranger to dentistry, having a father that was in the industry. Based in Fort Worth, Texas, Scott graduated from Texas Christian University, where he met his wife Jill. Together they have three children. He is an award winning sales professional, published in magazines, and known for his hands-on approach and communication skills. He values maintaining strong client relationships built on trust and listening to his customers and going the extra mile to put their needs first. Besides his 22-year dental career, Scott enjoys spending time with his family, racing bikes, and playing guitar in his family band!

More legislative talk! Listen for new guidelines that might apply to you and your office.

Lots of legislative talk! The definition of medically necessary is being reconsidered by Medicare. This could widen the scope of what Medicare covers in the Dental office. Also we’re seeing some of the big dental groups pushing to include dental school in the student loan bills. Last but not least, JB touches on monkeypox.
