Insurance Companies Are the Real Villains in Dentistry
How do i fight a denied dental claim? Picture this:
You did the work.
You filed the claim.
You crossed every T and dotted every I.
And then, BAM!
“CLAIM DENIED.”
It’s enough to make you want to rip your hair out, scream into a pillow, and then throw that pillow through the insurance company’s window.
“How do I fight a denied dental claim without losing my mind (or my sanity)?”
Good news: You can fight back — smart, savage, and successful.
Better news: You can also build a dental business that doesn’t even NEED insurance drama.
Let’s talk about both. (And yeah, BoomCloud™ is your ultimate sidekick. ♂️)
Story: The Denial That Turned Into a $100K Breakthrough
Meet Dr. Jen.
Awesome clinician. Terrible luck with insurance companies.
She filed a $4,800 claim for a beautiful implant case.
Denied.
Appealed.
Denied again.
The Aha! moment?
She realized she was playing a rigged game.
So she pivoted HARD.
➡️ Started her own membership program with BoomCloud™
➡️ Offered preventive, cosmetic, and perio plans
➡️ Enrolled 320 patients in 9 months
Result:
✅ $11,200/month in MRR
✅ $134,400/year in ARR
✅ ZERO insurance fights on those members
Today?
She doesn’t sweat denied claims anymore.
She builds wealth on her own terms.
Fight Back, Then Escape the Insurance Rat Race
First, let’s make sure you know how to fight a denied dental claim properly:
Steps to Fight a Denied Dental Claim:
-
Review the EOB (Explanation of Benefits) closely — find out WHY it was denied.
-
✍️ Write a strong appeal letter — include X-rays, narratives, clinical notes.
-
☎️ Call the insurance company — be persistent and document every call.
-
Use expert coding — sometimes denials happen because of wrong procedure codes.
-
Send a second-level appeal if needed — don’t back down.
Pro Tip:
Demand a supervisor if reps keep stonewalling you. Climb that ladder like a boss.
BUT…
The real boss move is to STOP letting insurance own you.

️ MRR and ARR: Your Secret Weapons to Independence
Let’s get nerdy (but profitable) for a second:
MRR (Monthly Recurring Revenue)
Example: 250 members x $40 = $10,000 MRR
ARR (Annual Recurring Revenue)
$10,000 x 12 = $120,000 ARR
Now imagine your base costs covered BEFORE you even touch insurance claims.
That’s called freedom my friends.
