How do you handle ppl who call the office and start yelling about a bill?

We never refuse to explain a bill, but a few patients have called and screamed bloody murder about some amount not paid by the insurance company and marked on the insurance statement (EOB-explanation of benefits) "Patient Responsibility" or "Insurance deductible." The amount owed could be as little as $20 and over $100 (depends on the ins. co). This office is a dental office and I mean ppl shouting and not letting staff get one word in.
--------------------
If people start shouting at you, simply say that if they continue to shout, you will end the call. If they continue, state that this call is over, and hang up.

What is the best course to take, the one that is in demand?

I'm presently working as Dental assistant front and back..I would like to change my job preferrebly I want to be hired by big companies that can give me good benefits. I'm about to enroll but are still confuse on what to take I'm choosing between Medical asst., pharma tech and Medical insurance biller. I have gained a lot of experience in dental billing and are quite interested in doing medical billing as well. So pls. advise me on this need help!
--------------------
It is advisable to take, CPA law. If you have a high intellect you will surely ace it. If you take this course you could be a CEO of a company, which by the way includes a lot of perks. You also need to have a Masters and a PH. D to qualify.

My front tooth broke, can I get a dental implant today?!?

Even if I dont have insurance, money? I go back to work tomorrow and I don't want to go without a tooth.
--------------------
The only thing you could get done quickly is a make shift temporary depending on how much of the broken tooth is left. And yes you need money to purchase services.

I have a lot of cavities, what should i do?

i have about 4 cavities and ive never been to a dentist before so i dont know what to expect. what will the doc do and how will they fix them? i also have a cavity on the side of a tooth. they cant fill that so how do they treat it? i know i have dental insurance but will it still be expensive to treat all of my teeth?
--------------------
not if you have dental ins. you probably wont have to pay They will probably have to do alot of restorative work! Start taking better care of your teeth! Teeth problems dont only affect your mouth they can have severe impact on your heart !Good luck

try the low income clinics. Around here, there are church orginazations who point you in the right direction. These doctors only charge a fraction of the price. (like$25-40 dollars) Call up your Dept. of Human Services for more info.
