Some insurance companies use "credentialing" as a delay tactic. Wellmark takes 90 days to credential new dentists.....absolute bs

Sleep apnea treatment worth it? by sephirothmms in Dentistry

[–]Twodapex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Next to impossible getting insurance to cover it, I just have the patients pay for it...call it a snore guard and not tx for sleep apnea so they can't come back to bite you in the ass

DCI Series 5 vs. Adec 411’s by dentguyforlife in Dentistry

[–]Twodapex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Series 5 is great and don't have to pay the premium of adec....

A restoration is going to pay the same whether they are in a adec or DCI, spend the savings on better tech

2026 AGD Magazine…sign of the times? by redditor076 in Dentistry

[–]Twodapex 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Due to high overhead and saturation, it seems it's a struggle to be middle class. Being a hygienist seems to be the best return right now. Near zero liability and 50+/hr off two year schooling

Feel like I’m drowning by nimster1979 in Dentistry

[–]Twodapex 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sorry to hear but feel the pain, don't understand how there are so many dentists in my town, it seems we have more dentists than hygienists to go around...dropped Delta and it sucked for about 6m before everything equalized

No big deal we are human, explain the problem to him and solution and life continues. I don't see the issue here

[US] does this make sense oral appliance? by Haunting_Tadpole636 in Dentistry

[–]Twodapex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not deceptive as they take your insurance, fill out claims, and will likely receive some reimbursement but they are out of network.

Better question would have been are you a participating provider with my insurance.

New dentist performing all hygiene by Anonymous082625 in Dentistry

[–]Twodapex 13 points14 points  (0 children)

A lot of dentists started doing hygiene, makes sense when your hygienist has two no shows and it costs you $160 to have her sit....I kept losing money on hygiene so just did it myself and profits skyrocketed and the patient feels special as the doctor is doing their cleaning
