Hootan Shahidi, CODE and DentFirst
Procedure coding, billing, and reimbursements are not a dentist’s favorite subjects, to say the least, yet successfully navigation of these issues is essential to the bottom-line health of the practice. Hootan Shahidi joins host Patrick O’Rourke on the show to discuss these issues and much more. Dental Business Radio is underwritten and presented by Practice Quotient: PPO Negotiations & Analysis and produced by the North Fulton studio of Business RadioX®.
