Dear DrBicuspid Member,
For insight that can make a difference in your practice, William S. Spiegel and Dr. Marc Leffler offer the latest in their Legal Cases series. This case involves a patient who both sued a dentist and filed a complaint with the state dental board. You can learn about the role a radiograph played in the case, how both the legal and disciplinary actions were resolved, and what you can do to help your practice avoid a similar situation.
It is not a stretch to say that dental insurance is a complex issue, as Dr. Roger P. Levin notes in his latest practical business of dentistry column. He poses five practical questions to ask yourself to find out if you are getting what you need from your insurance reimbursements. Some of these questions involve some thought, but they may help your practice increase revenue.
Dental journalist Kevin Henry is in Cologne, Germany, for the 2019 International Dental Show (IDS). He brings you a two-part series on new product highlights from the exhibit floor. Part 1 features products from GC America, 3Shape, and more, while part 2 includes Acteon, Carestream Dental, and others.
Finally this week, as the business and practice of dentistry are changing, it is important to understand the thought process of those leading the change. We interviewed the CEO of Mid-Atlantic Dental Partners to get some insight into its acquisition of the 68 practices of Birner Dental Management, what the acquisition means for the practitioners, the dental support organization's plans for the future, and other topics.
