WHAT WE DO
Getting started in Dental Sleep Medicine is challenging. There are plenty of continuing education opportunities to learn clinical skills but they all leave one question unanswered.
How do I bill medical insurance?
When it doesn’t get answered, doctors usually go in one of three directions.
- Bang their head on the wall trying to figure it out themselves
- Hire a billing company to do it for them while giving up 10% or more of collections
- Give up and avoid insurance all together and end up seeing less patients
Option #1 is a bad plan unless you have endless amounts of time and enjoy headaches and heartburn.
Option #2 has your team doing 99% of the work while giving up a big chunk of collections. Using a less than reputable outside billing company can also lead good doctors down the road of illegal billing practices without even knowing (until the board of dentistry comes knocking at your door).
Option #3 could be great, if you are happy seeing just a handful of patients and don’t like medical doctors to refer to you.
All three options can lead to frustration which causes doctors to quit before they’ve even gotten started, essentially wasting the many hours and thousands of dollars spent learning dental sleep medicine.
There has to be a better way…and THIS is it!
We help you bring medical billing in house. Your team is already running the ball 99 yards down the field. We help you bring the ball across the goal line and win the billing game.
No one will EVER care about your patients, your collections and your license more than you and your team.
Up until now, there was only one option to teach you and your team how to bring billing in house. This involved Dr. Johannes coming into your office and spending 1-2 days with the team for in person coaching.
But NOW, there is a second option that you and your team can do without ever leaving the office and without sacrificing patient treatment time.
Don't just take our word for it!
I cannot recommend Erica enough for her billing expertise!She has done her due diligence in educating herself to comprehend the ins and outs of medical billing. She is able to take what can be complex and overwhelming and break it down to where anyone can learn and understand it. Erica was able to increase our profits by teaching us how to do medical billing in house rather than source it out to a third party. Whenever we run into a billing question she makes herself readily available to provide us the assistance we need. Erica is top notch in my book and I highly recommend working her! I know there are other businesses out there that can teach medical billing but none of them are as good as Erica. Trust me, you will not be disappointed.

My team had been struggling with filing medical claims for our sleep apnea devices, The whole process was a huge time suck and caused stress not only for my team, but for the patient as well. Then I found Dr. Erica Johannes, like a beam of light sent from above her insurance training program shed light on all the things we didn't know we didn't know. I'm so thankful we found her training program, it truly has been a game changer for my patients and my practice.

WHY WE DO IT
There are hundreds of great dentists out there who are well trained in dental sleep medicine and they have the opportunity to change and even save the lives of thousands of people. Yet so many get stuck when it comes to getting paid and working with medical insurance that many give up. And then those thousands of patients that could have been helped go without the care they so desperately need. We want to help great dentists overcome the insurance and billing hurdles so they can avoid the trap of sleep becoming a very expensive hobby and HELP MORE PEOPLE.
ABOUT ME
About 7 years ago, I fell in love with dental sleep medicine and dove in head first. (More like cannonballed off the high dive) Lots of continuing education prepared me clinically but my biggest obstacle was getting patients to say yes. I decided that working with medical insurance was the answer but I quickly learned that it could be really difficult. I hired a billing company to help but found myself frustrated with long wait times for benefits checks and billing claims and then still had to give away hundreds of dollars on each claim for the biller’s fees. In fact, I got irritated enough that I learned how to do it myself and became an expert in medical billing. But my story of frustration is not unique. I HATE seeing great dentists quit due to billing issues. I want all of the great doctors out there to succeed and to treat more people, and this is why I started teaching other offices how to bill medical insurance. I already took the hard road, paid the stupid tax(es) and reached capacity on wine, head banging and cuss words. It brings me so much joy to help others do this quicker and easier than I did!
