Maximize Your Revenue When Dealing With Insurance Companies | Dr. Travis Campbell | The Dental Brief #181
We are joined by Dr. Travis Campbell to discuss Maximize Your Revenue When Dealing With Insurance Companies and much more!When Dr. Travis Campbell had questions about insurance, he learned quickly that he had to do his own research to find answers. This required a significant investment of time because insurance information is not always clear cut and certainly not well documented as a whole. Even dental insurance companies can sometimes be poor sources for correct information. Through determination and dedication, he decided to not only write a comprehensive guidebook, Understanding Dental Insurance: A Guide for Dentists and Their Teams, but he also created a space for fellow dentists to come together and get the training needed to either avoid or quickly overcome most challenges that come with dental insurance. Remember, you are not alone. Join today. If you don’t learn the rules, you are limiting yourself to never fully learning the game; therefore, lowering your chance of maximizing claim reimbursements.Dr. Travis Campbell, has been a practicing dentist since 2009, after graduating from Baylor University in Waco, Texas (2005) and then Baylor College of Dentistry in Dallas, Texas. Yes, Dr. Campbell is a born and bred Texan, and proud of it. But even more notable, dentistry simply runs through his veins. He announced he “wanted to be a dentist” after his first dental visit at the age of three, and never once changed his goal.Today, dentistry remains a passion. He still loves the clinical side of treating patients, yet early on he developed a similar passion for the business end of running a practice. In fact, before he graduated from dental school, he built a vision and business plan for 380 Family Dentistry in Prosper, Texas. At the time, the town of Prosper was a very tiny community well north of Dallas. There were cattle living across the highway from his first office!Dr. Campbell is now an author, trainer, speaker, contributor to various online dental communities, and dental coach and consultant. Ever an entrepreneur, Dr. Campbell purchased a second dental practice, in Garland, Texas in the fall of 2019. Having gained a reputation as a resource for other dentists in the complex area of dental insurance, Dr. Campbell’s new “moniker” is “The Dental Insurance Guy!” From understanding insurance to developing strategies to accelerate practice growth, Dr. Campbell delivers practical, actionable content that dentists and team members can use immediately. He dispels many of the myths and misinformation around today’s dental insurance policies and explains how to navigate the complexities of being an exceptional dentist, business owner, and leader while still having a life outside of work.Learn more:dentalinsuranceguy.com ***** SPONSOR: – Omni Premier Marketing: https://omnipremier.com/dental-marketing/ CONNECT: – Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thedentalbrief/ – Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thedentalbriefpodcast/ – LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dental-brief-podcast-564267217 – Patrick’s LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/pchavoustie/– Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCd08JzybKfNH0v12Q9jf50w WEBSITE: – https://dentalbrief.com/
