Do you really know how to avoid dental insurance fraud—or are you just hoping you’re not on the radar? In this eye-opening episode of Straight Up With Steph, I sit down with Dr. Paul Bornstein, a dentist, insurance consultant, and fraud expert, to discuss how even well-meaning dental professionals end up committing fraud without realizing it.
We dive into:
- The most red-flagged CDT codes (including 4341 and 2391)
- Real stories of audits, fines, and even jail time
- What “reckless disregard” means—and how it can get you in trouble
- The importance of documentation and provider manuals
- Why hygienists and dentists need fraud education now more than ever
🎧 Whether you're an associate, owner, or hygienist, you need to hear this. And yes—Dr. Paul shares tips for protecting yourself (and your license) starting today.
