Successful DENTAL SLEEP MEDICINE

The ideal outcome of treating dental sleep medicine patients is both a successful clinical outcome AND a successful financial outcome. To achieve this we must begin with the outcome in mind. Case acceptance, clinical workflow, success clinical outcome, and financial success are threads that must be woven together to create the fabric of dental sleep medicine. Clinical and financial success in implementing dental sleep medicine into a dental practice requires complementary and concurrent clinical AND billing systems.

Payment of medical benefits requires the information necessary for medical claims to be gathered concurrent with the workflow of treating SDB patients. In addition to meeting the current clinical standards (ADA, AADSM, AMA, AASM, and Medicare) and the standards of medical record keeping, dentists must also satisfy the documentation requirements of medical insurance companies.  In this unique  2-in-1 course, learn the BOTH the basics of dental sleep medicine practice AND how to combine BOTH the clinical and financial elements into a successful dental sleep practice.
