Stephanie Botts Season 1 Episode 64

Send me a message, I’d love to hear from you!

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.
