Register
Instructor: Amrita Patel, D.D.S.
Synopsis: Dental
insurance touches every single patient conversation and every line of
your P&L, yet most dentists, regardless of how long they've been in
practice, were never actually taught how the system works. This course
pulls back the curtain on dental benefits: how plans are structured, how
codes get created and valued, where fee schedules come from, and where
the gaps between "covered" and "paid" quietly erode practice revenue and
patient trust.
Drawing on years of first-hand
experience navigating dental benefits from both the clinical and
business sides, this session goes beyond the front-desk basics. New
dentists will walk away finally understanding a system that clinical
training never covered. Seasoned owners and multi-practice leaders will
leave with sharper language for fee negotiations, a clearer read on
where their practice is leaving money on the table, and concrete
strategies for protecting fee integrity as insurance pressures
intensify. Whether you're building your first associate contract or
running a multi-site group, this is the insurance education dental
school skipped: built for every stage of the career, not just the start
of it.
