EP 125: AI’s Impact on Diagnosis, Treatment and Insurance Claims with Dr. Mike Barniv

Nobody Told Me That! A Dental Podcast with Teresa Duncan

Don't forget to check out the video episode on YouTube!

In this episode, I interviewed Dr. Mike Barniv who has impressive street cred in the AI, carrier and clinical arenas. He’s currently the VP of Clinical Affairs at Pearl. Dr. Barniv shared AI’s role in treatment case acceptance. Hint - it helps tremendously! We had a frank talk about how the carriers are using AI in adjudication.

A few talking points:

• How does AI help dentists to efficiently examine historical images to chart disease progression

• Using AI to meet carrier documentation criteria

• Is AI just denying everything?

This is one for the insurance nerds (my people😎). Enjoy!
