DENTAL BILLING & CODING COMPLIANCE GUIDE: The Front Desk and Billing Office Reference for CDT Coding, Insurance Claims, Denial Management, and Dental Practice Compliance

Stop reacting to denials. Start preventing them.

Most dental billing resources teach you what CDT codes mean. This one teaches you how to run a billing office that doesn't need to look them up under pressure.

Dental Billing & Coding Compliance Guide is a complete operating system for the front desk, the billing office, and the practice manager's desk — not a textbook to read once, but a reference you keep open every day. It walks the entire revenue cycle from patient registration through account closure, and gives you the actual tools to run each stage: not just explanations, but the worksheet, the checklist, or the SOP you'd otherwise have to build yourself.

Inside, you'll find:

A complete eight-stage revenue cycle framework, from eligibility verification through denial management and appeals
A full eligibility & benefits verification worksheet, ready to adapt to your own practice
A three-layer claim scrubbing checklist that catches errors before the payer ever sees them
A thirteen-category denial framework with root-cause tracking, so patterns become visible instead of hiding in plain sight
Three ready-to-use appeal letter templates for the most common denial types
A documentation standard that holds up to payer review, audit, or dispute
A clear, non-alarmist breakdown of the difference between an honest error, a compliance concern, and fraud — and what to actually do about each
A master audit-readiness checklist built from every system in the book
A starter SOP library and a 30-day onboarding curriculum with built-in competency checks
A thirteen-KPI dashboard for tracking whether it's all actually working
Sixteen real front-desk scenarios with direct, practical answers
A complete forms and worksheets library — fourteen ready-to-print templates covering every stage of the revenue cycle
