During the recent American Association of Dental Office Management (AADOM) meeting in Round Rock, TX, I had the chance to spend time with one of DrBicuspid's regular contributors, Estela Vargas, CRDH. Vargas has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to dental insurance and the pain points faced by practices every day. In the video below, Vargas addresses such topics as dental billing practices, the importance of understanding coding, and the evolving landscape of dental insurance requirements. She shares insights on common billing mistakes, the significance of proper documentation, and the necessity of adapting to new coding standards like the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10). The conversation emphasizes the need for dental professionals to stay informed and proactive in their billing practices to ensure financial success.
