Understanding dental insurance terminology is super critical to make sure your dental practice gets paid for the work you do on your patients.

This video is for the practice owners, dental receptionists, or any other team members who may be dealing with dental insurance on a daily basis as part of their job.

If you've recently joined a dental practice, or are thinking of transitioning your career to work in a dental practice, learning insurance insideout starts with understanding the everyday dental insurance terminology that's used in a dental office.

If you're a practice owner thinking about hiring a front desk who is not from the dental background, or maybe you've already hired someone new to dentistry make this video a part of the dental receptionist training during their onboarding.
