If you’re like most dental practices, managing accounts receivable (AR) can feel overwhelming. But I’ve got good news—this episode is going to help you take control and make insurance systems work for you.

I’m thrilled to welcome Bri Richardson, the powerhouse behind Elevate My Practice and founder of Dental Insurance SOS, to the podcast. Bri brings over 15 years of experience in the dental industry as a coach, trainer, and speaker. Her mission? To help practices get paid in full within 30 days and make insurance management easier and less stressful.

During our conversation, Bri shares proven strategies for:

  • Submitting clean claims that avoid delays.

  • Estimating copays accurately—even when dealing with out-of-network insurance.

  • Creating a rock-solid collections protocol that will transform your AR.

  • Using automation and AI tools to simplify billing and insurance tasks.

This episode is packed with actionable tips you can implement right away to help your practice thrive.

Episode Highlights:
  1. Clean Claims Matter: Submitting claims with all the right documentation upfront will save you weeks of delays.

  2. Estimates Made Simple: Bri’s system for reducing insurance coverage percentages by 20% for out-of-network patients is a game-changer.

  3. The Power of Protocols: Implementing a clear collections protocol can transform your AR—and your stress levels.

  4. Tech to the Rescue: Tools like Abella and Vine can take repetitive tasks off your team’s plate.

  5. Invest in Training: Your front office team can be your biggest asset when equipped with the right skills and tools.
