If your practice's collections aren't where they should be, it might not be because of fewer patients—it could be because your revenue is trapped in insurance company limbo. The truth? Without a rock-solid revenue cycle management (RCM) process, you're leaving money on the table… and adding stress to your team. In this episode of the Raving Patients Podcast, I sit down with Shreyas Parab, co-founder and CEO of Daydream, to explore how AI can revolutionize dental billing without removing the human expertise that keeps claims moving. Shreyas shares his unique perspective—shaped by growing up in his mother's small Medicaid dental practice—on why dental billing is a hidden bottleneck for many offices and how automating key steps can unlock both revenue and time. We break down what “human-in-the-loop” AI really means, how to verify insurance more efficiently, and why complete transparency in billing services is non-negotiable for cash flow health. We also dig into the broader role of AI in dentistry—what's working now, where the technology still falls short, and the untapped opportunities that could transform patient communication and education in the near future. Shreyas provides real-world examples of practices that have recovered hundreds of thousands in aged receivables by combining AI-driven workflows with experienced billers, and why this hybrid approach outperforms both in-house teams and traditional billing agencies. Whether you're currently outsourcing, doing billing in-house, or simply curious about what's possible, this conversation will give you the tools to evaluate your RCM strategy and future-proof your practice against the growing complexity of insurance reimbursement. Here are the interesting stuff we talked about in this episode: Automating bottlenecks works best with expert oversight. Pure AI isn't ready to replace billers—but it can triple their efficiency. Transparency is key. If you can't see exactly what's happening with your claims, you can't fix revenue leaks. Growth magnifies billing challenges. Expanding operatories, adding associates, or buying a new practice will strain in-house billing unless processes scale. Patient communication is an untapped AI opportunity. Future tools could educate patients before appointments, improving case acceptance and freeing up clinical time.

Automating medical coding presents significant challenges due to the intricate nature of health information management, particularly medical records, which form the bedrock of healthcare coding and billing. Protected Health Information (PHI) exists in various formats, including handwritten notes, patient intake forms, and dictated lab reports. This lack of standardization poses a considerable hurdle for AI systems.Revenue Cycle Management (RCM) professionals—such as coders, billers, and auditors—possess the contextual understanding necessary to interpret and extract crucial information from diverse and sometimes illegible records. The complexity of abstracting documentation is further compounded by ambiguous acronyms, localized jargon, and specialized medical language. Additionally, a substantial portion of the information provided to coders is subjective, demanding a level of interpretation that current AI technology may not yet possess.For AI to acquire these essential skills, medical coders will need to train the systems, and auditors will be responsible for verifying their accuracy. This technological shift is inevitable, so RCM professionals should consider developing these skills to remain competitive in the evolving IT landscape.Join us as host Terry Fletcher welcomes Sirisha Bommireddipalli to the show for an insightful discussion on this important topic.

Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling. Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God's grace. . . . — 1 Peter 4:8-10 D'Near Scott, known as “Twin,” is actually a triplet—but that's another story. Today he stands with us in a large circle before lunchtime. Twin has spent much of his adult life working odd jobs, staying in abandoned buildings, and trying to survive. At Roseland Christian Ministries (RCM), Twin has found something more—a place where he is valued. Like a member of any family, Twin takes on roles that help us function together. He's quick to mop floors, take out the garbage, or shovel snow when necessary. Sunday through Friday, you'll find him at RCM, smiling, helping with odd jobs, and sharing in the meals we serve. Today, as 25 to 30 of us stand in a circle before lunchtime, tears well up in Twin's eyes, and his voice quavers as he says, “You are my family.” As we go around the circle, each of us shares our name, gives thanks, offers prayer requests, and speaks words of encouragement. Then we pray together, lifting each other up to God in Jesus' name, and we break bread as a community. In this way we remember that Christ calls us into a new family—his body, the church. May we always see one another as brothers and sisters in Christ, bound together in his love and grace. We are family. Father, thank you for the family we find in Christ. Help us to be united in your love. May we serve and uplift each other, reflecting your grace and compassion. Amen.
Send us a textLuke stops by the show to discuss his musical journey, which started at the age of 7, how the pandemic changed his life, a separate identity from being a singer/musician, and more. ****Luke Marzec's life has always been about music. He picked up the violin aged 7, the sax at 10 and the piano soon after. At just 11, his natural talent earned him a place at the prestigious Royal College of Music (RCM) Junior Department. In fact, most of Luke's childhood was spent either in the practice room or on stage. By the time he graduated high school, he had led countless classical and jazz bands, ensembles and orchestras - professionally, at school, RCM, and at the national level. He formed his first band at York University and spent most of his early 20s playing sax in various jazz, psychedelic, indie, and brass bands in the north. He gained a scholarship to Trinity Conservatoire's Master's course in 2016, but after a full term of shredding, decided to focus on his career as a solo artist. In 2018, he released his EP Chances, which received critical acclaim. Over the next couple of years, Luke released two more EPs and gained writing and production experience, doing the rounds co-writing with artists in the UK such as Maverick Sabre, VC Pines, Benjamin Francis Leftwich and Jazzanova. He featured on Johannes Brecht's “Voicing Something” which was remixed by Adriatique. His Spotify page now has more than 15 million listens. Today, Luke is one-third of London's experimental modular synth-jazz group Lazy H and the Loose Cables, in which he plays the tenor sax and synthesizer. The trio have gigged with London's Kinkajous, Mark Cake, Alabaster DePlume, Plumm and FlamingGods, and they released their first album Rotary Perception with Nottingham-based label Running Circles earlier this year. The avant-garde jazz album takes listeners through psychedelic and tender soundscapes, perfect for sci-fi film scores. He also hosts Headroom – one of the city's most exciting jam sessions which showcases some of the capital's best jazz and electronic instrumentalists and producers. Covid instigated a new period for the artist when he moved into a 44-foot narrowboat. Living life as a water traveler, Luke spent a lot of time in the countryside in relative solitude, before moving to Devon and setting up a new studio. After months in lockdown, this frenetic new period led to a prolific stream of writing and recording. Despite Marzec's writing and collaborating prowess, he is most at ease on stage where everything is simplest, where decision making is easiest and where he feels most alive. After the first note is played, the rest is as if he was watching himself perform; as if his spirit floats to another realm to observe his body. During his performances, the rugged growl of his voice in brilliant contrast to the soft notes he plays on the keys allows him to connect with his audience in moments of sheer bliss and unity. In 2025 Luke will take up residence at one of the city's newest micro-venues while touring across Europe to promote his new album, debut album Something Good Out Of Nothing.*****If you would like to contact the show about being a guest, please email us at Dauna@bettertopodcast.comUpcoming guests can be found: https://dmneedom.com/upcoming-guest Follow us on Social MediaInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/author_d.m.needom/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bettertopodcastwithdmneedomIntro and Outro music compliments of Fast Suzi©2025 Better To...Podcast with D.

In this episode of What's Best For The Patient Is Best For Business, Jerry sits down with Matt Byrne, Executive Director for Provider Partnerships at FIGUR8, Inc., to discuss the untapped potential of workers' compensation in physical therapy—and why ignoring this market could be a costly mistake. FIGUR8 provides the first FDA-registered, objective musculoskeletal (MSK) assessment tool, replacing outdated subjective methods and driving better patient outcomes.Matt challenges the common misconceptions about workers' comp, revealing why it's one of the highest-paying and most underserved segments in PT. With 900,000+ MSK claims annually—each costing employers $35K–$65K—he breaks down how clinics can leverage objective data to streamline care, reduce claim costs, and attract referrals from the many key stakeholders involved with workers' comp claims.Key Takeaways:• Workers' Comp Is a $1.35B Opportunity: At 12 visits per claim and $125/visit, this market is ripe for clinics willing to embrace it.• Data = Leverage: FIGUR8's technology replaces guesswork with biomechanical insights, justifying care plans and speeding up return-to-work timelines.• Better Payer Mix, Fewer Patients: Workers' comp reimburses higher than Medicare and commercial insurance—meaning clinics can increase revenue while seeing fewer patients.• Stop the Staffing Shortage Myth: Optimizing payer mix (e.g., shifting from 3% to 10% workers' comp) can ease clinician burnout and boost margins.• The "Hub-and-Spoke" Model: Hire one dedicated workers' comp PT to train staff and oversee high-value services (e.g., functional capacity exams billed at $800–$1,200 each).If you're tired of chasing shrinking reimbursements and want a proven way to serve your community and your bottom line, this episode is your wake-up call.

In this solo episode of What's Best For The Patient Is Best For Business, Jerry dives into the transformative role of AI voice agents in healthcare—specifically on the non-clinical, pre-arrival side of operations. Jerry shares his firsthand experience working with AI voice technology over the past year, detailing how it's reshaping patient intake, scheduling, benefit checks, and cost callbacks, without replacing human roles.Key Takeaways:- AI voice agents are revolutionizing pre-arrival workflows—but success hinges on understanding your practice's people, processes, and patient journey before implementing the tech. - Workflow is everything: AI should be strategically inserted into existing systems, not haphazardly overlaid. His case study reveals how mapping out SOPs and scripts upfront slashed onboarding time and costs. - Human-AI collaboration is key: One client retained staff for quality assurance and follow-up, proving AI works best when complementing—not eliminating—human touchpoints. - The patient experience gap: With healthcare admin satisfaction at historic lows, Jerry argues AI voice agents can reduce friction (like phone trees and portals) while building trust.

In Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. — Romans 12:5 DeWitt is a beloved part of our church family. He was the first neighborhood kid to meet Rev. Tony Van Zanten, who served at Roseland before me. Seeing nowhere for young people to gather, Rev. Tony threw open the doors of the Roseland Community Center, inviting DeWitt and an entire generation to come in and play basketball and form a community, a family. Over the years, some of those young people moved away, graduated from college, or started businesses. Others died. DeWitt joined the military but returned and settled in next door. For the past 40 years he's been at Roseland nearly every day. He has cooked meals, hosted volunteer groups, played the congas in church, and participated in countless games of dominoes at the Drop-In Center. He has also sung in choirs and contributed to our vibrant community life. If you've been to Roseland Christian Ministries (RCM), you've probably met DeWitt. He's kind, fun-loving, and has a beautiful tenor voice (similar to that of Luther Vandross). I've learned that DeWitt's deepest longing is to be loved and belong—which all of us share. Some people find this in their immediate family or in their marriage. DeWitt found it in Christian community at RCM. I'm grateful that we can belong to God together in this place. Thanks be to God. Father God, thank you for the gift of belonging. In your love we find our true home. Help us to reflect the unity of Christ's body, where all are welcome. Amen.

More than two years after the pandemic-era Medicaid continuous enrollment provision ended, millions of eligible patients are without coverage, creating a crisis for hospitals and healthcare systems that rely on Medicaid reimbursement dollars. Adding to the strain on providers, Medicare physician payments have been cut for the fifth consecutive year. Compounding these challenges, the number of patients presenting as self-pay or on high-deductible health plans (HDHP) continues to grow. Uninsured, self-pay, and high-deductible patients take longer to pay — if they pay — and have a higher risk of write-off. What can providers do to protect their financial health? Listen to the podcast to hear RCM optimization experts discuss five proven tips for improving revenue capture, even in the most challenging of times. Providers will learn how to optimize reimbursement, reduce administrative burden, and improve the patient's financial experience. This episode is sponsored by ZOLL.
