Your practice has grown so much over the past few years since you’ve started treating patients for obstructive sleep apnea, and you’re just happy that you’re able to help more people than ever. Of course, progress always has drawbacks. As you know, OSA treatments are typically covered by medical insurance rather than dental, and with that comes an entirely different billing process. Dental medical billing is as time consuming as it is essential, and you just wish there was a simpler way to do it so your team didn’t have to spend half their day on the phone helping a single patient.

Fortunately, more and more dentists have discovered a way to do just that, and today, we’re going to share it with you. (more…)
