Ep. 718 - Medical Reimbursement for Dentists: What You Need to Know
As dental professionals, we often focus solely on dental insurance reimbursements, yet many procedures qualify for coverage under medical insurance.

Joining us is our guest Kandra Sellers. Kandra is a RDH with over 25 years in the dental industry. She is widely considered one of the most passionate and respected dental coaches. She is an educator in the field of oral systemic health, as well as founder and CEO of TIPS Medical Billing.
