**Due to the sensitive nature of this content, this course is for Dentists ONLY**
DESCRIPTION: A fascinating two hour class presented by Dr. Ron Moser and Anne Moser that covers all aspects of how proper record keeping is a dentist’s best friend in preventing and detecting embezzlement, identity theft, and insurance fraud.
Nearly all fraud that occurs in dental offices requires the perpetrator to alter records and steal in a way that the dentist will not be expecting or missing payments. We will teach you how proper checks and balances will help prevent and detect embezzlement.
In the second hour of the class we give dentists a captivating glimpse into a real dental crime case. Doctors will get to view video deposition segments and records from a complex embezzlement case. Video depositions and records show how crafty and devious thieves penetrate patient records to commit atrocious financial crimes and how they were caught and prosecuted.
