Barry Glassman, DMD, and Angela
Kowaleski:
"Dealing with Medical Insurance Issues in the TMD/Craniofacial
Pain and Dental Sleep Medicine Practice"
Workshop ( 7-9 P.M.) topic: One of the most pressing
issues of private practice is that of medical insurance coverage for our
patients. It is usually the 1st question asked when TMD/Sleep Apnea patients
call to appoint. There seem to be many areas that need discussion on when
insurance is/may cover the diagnostic and treatment procedures, vs. denial. To
obtain a pre-cert/authorization, HCFA 1500 forms, " in network, vs. out of
network, non-participating provider", "Opt-out/Medicare" issues, and what to do
for the patient when an appeal is needed. Usually dental insurance does not
ap-ply. What responses can our staff make to facilitate treatment?

Barbara Trovato, PhD.
"TRUE COLORS
Personality Typing for Improved Communication Skills"
Docs: Can personality typing facilitate practice
management? Can it reduce daily stress? Nurture staff and patient loyalty? Can
it foster team interaction, harmony and even synergy? Can personality profiling
improve case presentation? After all, have you ever wondered why some people
simply set your teeth on edge (literally)? Why do some patients ask you a
million questions and others want you to shut up and work? Understand yourself,
your team members and your pa-tients. Similar to traditional personality typing
systems like DISC or Myers-Briggs, True Colors is as simple as it is pro-found.
Bring your staff!
