I Have Become Comfortably Numb with Lance Timmerman (CHP 77) (CHP 77) Jan 12, 2021

Show notes

We kick off the episode by answering a REDDIT! from Lance in the way that they do on his podcast with Josh Austin called Working Interfences. Did we do it justice? Probably not.

Did you know Zach's Chiefs play Kevin's Browns this weekend? Will they be on speaking terms after this weekend? Whose side are you on?

We get into some fancy numbing technologies when we get around to talking clinical. Lance uses the Wand. It's really evident that Zach has never seen the Wand and didn't bother googling anything about the Wand prior to the show based on some of the odd questions. My bad listeners.

Then we discuss Anutra.. kind of... none of the guests here use it, so we kind of speculated.. and Zach comes in hot with his DIY buffering method

We also talk topical anesthetics.. and some other anesthetic stuff.

Is any of this necessary? Who knows. Enjoy the listen, check out the Clinical Hacks FB group and we'll catch you next week.

See ya!

Three Key Insurance Developments to Watch for 2021

The upcoming year is already looking remarkably busy on the insurance side. I wanted to give you three areas to watch that will affect your practice. Throughout the year I'll keep you updated on this podcast and in my newsletter. I appreciate that you see me as a resource, and I will continue to monitor carrier and revenue cycle management news for the industry. Thanks for helping the podcast grow this past year – I very much appreciate you. Here's to a fantastic 2021!

Episode 68 talking points:

National Council of Insurance Legislators (NCOIL) adopting the ADA's recommendations for dental insurance guidelines. Covered topics:
1. Network clarity
2. Virtual credit cards as payment
3. Ensuring that pre-authorizations are held accountable when treatment is performed
Legislation requiring pricing transparency in healthcare passed as part of the 2021 Budget Plan
1. Lots of institutional opposition (hospitals and American Medical Association)
2. Administrative burdens and concerns over lower provider fees are cited as reasons
3. Judges are not so convinced: Why is an X-ray price 'unknowable?' (recent court case)
4. Will it affect dental?
Competitive Health Insurance Reform Act
1. Overturns McCarran-Ferguson Act that removes antitrust restrictions from carriers
2. Hopefully will encourage more competition in the carrier market
3. Did insurance companies stop innovating because they didn't need to?
4. The National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) predicts "more instability in the health insurance markets and, therefore, higher premiums."

Virtual VoD #1: Behind the Smiles with Dr. Gina Dorfman (featuring Dr. Joshua Austin!) Jan 01, 2021

Show notes

Dr. Gina Dorfman kicks off our "Virtual VoD" in January 2021 with a remarkable interview with the one and only Dr. Joshua Austin! The bad boy of Dental Facebook Groups sits down with Dr. Gina Dorfman to talk about his new presentation "The Chamfered Psyche," the stigma of depression and suicide in dentistry, losing his father at a young age, and the vivid dream that he'd give everything he owns to see come true.

Plus, Josh's name drops as he remembers some guys (and ladies), shares the hottest of takes and reveals his soft side.

This pod was our first ever double-header episode, but despite the first strike, it ended up being a home run. Check out Pearls for Your Practice! https://www.dentaleconomics.com/science-tech/article/14073401/pearls-for-your-practice
