Intro

In this episode, Dr. Jason discusses the role of routers in dental offices and their impact on communication between back and front office teams. He shares a client’s experience where the team resisted route slips, seeing them as extra work. Jason clarifies that routers are not about adding tasks—they help prevent errors and boost efficiency. Key elements like documenting performed services, noting patient discounts or adjustments, and identifying involved team members help reduce billing mistakes. Sections such as treatment planning, referral notes, and insurance reminders support informed decisions and improve patient conversations. With their customizable nature, routers are vital for optimizing workflow, minimizing errors, and capturing accurate patient visit details.
