Description

Dr. Travis Campbell may have known he wanted to be a dentist since he was three, but he had no idea the path his dental career had planned for him. He is now recognized as the Dental Insurance Guy. No one breaks down dental insurance like Dr. Campbell.  

In this Dental Slang episode, we discuss coding, when to file a claim (and when not to), as well as the right time to take an x-ray. 

Dr. Campbell also tells us about his new book, Understanding Dental Insurance: A Guide for Dentists and Their Teams. This is the first comprehensive text on dental insurance to date. Dr. Campbell isn't afraid to talk about his failures. The stories of trial and error make this guide more than just a textbook. If you're ready to learn how to communicate more fluently with insurance companies, tune into this episode.
