Medical Billing for Dental Implants: Best Practices

2023-07-17T08:58:50-04:00

Medical Billing for Dental Implants: Best Practices Medical insurance billing for dental implant services is one of the most complex and challenging processes in the medical reimbursement arena. Dental implant reconstructions require a high level of clinical expertise on the clinician's part and involve high-tech diagnostic and treatment "armamentariums." On a per arch basis, dental implant services are lower in cost today compared to 20 years ago but, even with cost reductions due to time efficiencies, implant reconstruction procedures are still costly for the patient. For patients with documented medical necessity, the cost of reimbursement can be shifted to the [...]

Another Secret About Medicare

2023-05-23T12:16:44-04:00

Full-arch implant cases, and, specifically, the All-on-X case, is almost entirely an advertising based service. At least 95% of cases are created by advertising. Yes, occasionally there is an oral surgeon, with a hella-massive referral network, who can avoid advertising for All-on-X cases BUT most specialists, including the OMFS and PERO docs, are in the exact same boat as the implantologist. You can refuse to accept this reality but, like it or not, if you refuse to advertise for All-on-X you will have few All-on-X cases and maybe even zero cases. It's sad to think about the expensive CE, time, [...]

Advertising Realities for Full-Arch Cases: Concept #2 – Best Messages

2023-05-23T12:22:27-04:00

I've gone into the long list of reasons why the public wants immediate implant procedures such as All-on-4 / All-on-X / etc. There are millions of patients in terminal dentitions and millions who will enter that category during their life and every patient in this category is interested in options. One thing is certain, they do NOT want the dentures they saw their parents suffer with (or not wear at all!). While ortho and cosmetics will always have an audience in dentate patients, we are in a 20-30 year expansion period in the segment of patients not exposed to fluoride [...]

2023-05-23T12:29:54-04:00

Want to know the #1 surprise discovery I made in 2001 as it related to advertising and sales of the full arch implant case (this was before AOX)? The surprise was how easily everything amazing that I was up to with getting a solid implant message to the public via advertising could be easily destroyed by some of the nicest, caring, friendly, most personable staff you can imagine. Yes, my staff were killing my advertising and cases! My full arch implant ads would generate dozens and dozens of implant patient phone calls every week but these nice caring staff didn't [...]

Imagine: Getting Full Fee While Medicare Covers 25-50% of That Fee for Your Patient

2023-05-24T11:45:12-04:00

Implant Case Presentation Is Not What You Were Taught In Dental School

2023-05-24T12:01:23-04:00

Have you spent many thousands of dollars on implant advertising and you received leads, but not many leads ended up as cases? Is your local area saturated by corporate chains like ClearChoice, Aspen Dental, Heartland, Affordable Dentures & Implants, and others?

Does what you’ve been told related to sales in dental implant CE courses feel like it doesn’t belong in a professional practice or sound ‘gimmicky?’ Are you still presenting your implant cases as taught to you in dental school with lists of procedures, codes, [...]
