Free live training · Tuesday, September 1, 2026 · 3 to 5 PM PT
Over 200 of you asked for the cheat sheet. This is the training that shows you how to use it.
The procedure code tells the payer what you did. The diagnosis code tells them why it was necessary. Leave it off and you have handed the insurance company the easiest reason in the world to stall or deny. Add it and you change the entire conversation.
Attending live is free, and your 2 CE credits come with it. The recording and the workbook come with the $27 package, and they never go public.
This is the part nobody taught you.
Why now
Diagnosis codes on dental claims are already required in more places than most offices realize. The change is not coming. It arrived, quietly, one payer at a time.
A dental claim that arrives without a valid ICD-10 diagnosis code does not get reviewed. It gets rejected.
Not as a preference or a best practice. As a condition of the claim being processed at all.
More states are expected to follow. If yours has not yet, you are in the window where learning this is still optional.
These do not pay without a diagnosis that proves medical necessity. No diagnosis, no medical necessity, no payment.
The billers who learn this now are the ones who will not be scrambling when their commercial payers make the same move.
What you will learn
How to choose the diagnosis code that supports the procedure
The ICD-10 codes that pair with the procedures you bill most
How to add diagnosis codes without slowing your workflow down
When a dental claim becomes a medical crossover claim
How to read what a denial is really telling you
Included when you register
Two continuing education units, yours for attending the live training. No extra fee, no upgrade required.
Two hours with Ericka and Jen on September 1.
The diagnosis code cheat sheet over 200 of you asked for, plus a walkthrough of how to use it.
Bring your denial. We will look at what the payer actually told you.
No seat limit. Registration takes under a minute.
Who this is for
You are the one who has to make the claim pay, and you are tired of resubmitting the same thing hoping for a different answer.
Write-offs are climbing and you cannot tell whether it is the coding, the clinical notes, or the payer.
Your documentation is the evidence. If the note does not connect to a diagnosis, nothing downstream can fix it.
The one decision on this page
September 1, 2026. Two hours. There is no public replay, no evergreen link, and no catching it later. The only people who keep this training are the people who own the Forever Package.
$27 ends at midnight Sunday, August 30
The part people find out too late.
The workbook is not a handout you file away afterward. We work inside it during the live class. Real denied claims that were missing diagnosis codes, and exactly how we fixed them, page by page, together.
Buy before the deadline and it is in your inbox before we go live, so you are working along with us. Wait, and you are watching two people turn pages you do not have.
It is also a Tuesday afternoon. A patient will run long. The phone will ring at 3:15. If your afternoon can wobble at all, the recording is not a bonus for you. It is the difference between having this training and having heard about it.
One time payment. Yours to keep, no expiration.
Get the Forever Package, $27The workbook is yours the moment you pay, and your link to the live class is waiting inside. The recording appears in the same place after September 1.

Your instructors
Host, The Dental Billing Podcast
More than twenty five years in dentistry and dental billing, and I have taught this work in thirty one states and in Mexico. I wrote I'm Just The Biller because I got tired of hearing billers say that sentence about themselves as if it meant they had no power in the room.
I teach law before codes. A code without a legal foundation is just a number you are hoping somebody honors. When you know the statute, the timeline, and the obligation, you stop asking payers for favors and start holding them to what they already agreed to do.
Lyman Revenue Solutions
Jen spent years chairside as a hygienist before she left clinical practice to build her own billing company, where she handles both dental and medical billing. That combination is rare, and it is exactly why she is teaching this one with me.
She knows what a clinical note is trying to say, because she used to write them. She also knows what a payer needs that note to say, because she bills them now. Diagnosis coding lives or dies in the chart, and Jen has worked both ends of it.
Questions
Yes. Attending live on September 1 costs nothing, and that includes your 2 CE credits, the cheat sheet, the walkthrough, and the live Q and A. The $27 Forever Package is optional and it is the only way to get the recording and the workbook.
Two CE credits for attending the live training, at no cost. You do not need to buy anything to earn them.
No. We teach this live one time and the recording goes only to Forever Package owners. There is no public link and we are not going to release one later.
The cheat sheet is the quick reference over 200 of you asked for, and everyone who registers gets it. The workbook is the deeper piece inside the Forever Package. It has the real denied claims, the fixes, the clinical note pairing, and the placement order, and we work inside it live during the class.
No, you can attend free and follow along. But the class is built around working in that workbook, so buying before the deadline means it is in your hands when we start rather than something you read later.
Yes, at $49. The $27 price ends at midnight on Sunday, August 30, and it does not come back.
No. Register whenever you like, and bring your whole team.
No. If you have submitted a dental claim, you have enough background. We start with what payers and the law actually require and build from there, so you are not expected to arrive with a diagnosis code vocabulary.
One denial you never understood. Pull the EOB and have it open. The whole two hours lands differently when you are looking at your own claim.
Yes, inside your practice. Use it to train the person you hire next month. Please do not resell it or post it publicly.
Last thing
Tuesday, September 1, 2026. 3:00 to 5:00 PM Pacific. Free to attend, 2 CE credits included, no seat limit. $27 to keep it forever, until midnight Sunday, August 30.
