About The Dental Billing Podcast

Dental billing is not data entry. It's the difference between a practice that collects what it earned and one that writes it off and calls it the cost of doing business. The Dental Billing Podcast is hosted by Ericka Aguilar and Jen Lyman, RDH. Ericka has been a dental biller since 1998 and has taught billing in 31 states and Mexico. Jen came out of the operatory and now runs Lyman Revenue Solutions, handling both dental and medical billing. One of us knows exactly what the carrier is going to do with your claim. The other one knows what actually happened in that chair. You get both. Every week we break down denials, appeals, coding, and the carrier behavior nobody warns you about, in plain language, with real sources. We teach the law before the codes, because a code doesn't win an appeal. Knowing what that carrier is legally required to do wins the appeal. If you've ever been told you're "just the biller," this show is for you. Downloads in 114 countries and counting. Bring your coffee and your worst denial.

When AI Denies Your Claim with Dr. Amberena Fairlee

Published 15 Sept 2026 · Transcript excerpt

[…] I think one of the biggest things we're looking at is AI right now and how it's utilized in dentistry and in insurance and kind of across the board and everything. There's a lot of ways to look at it. In terms of like if we're denying claims based on AI, that's wild to me. It's a lot of time. Yep. If we're going to deny a claim, we should, I mean, A, you should be informed that AI is the one that denies your claim. Or it should be that a human representative has to actually review it afterwards.
