The Dental Billing Podcast
Welcome to The Dental Billing Podcast, where dental billing, insurance reimbursement, leadership, compliance, and revenue cycle management are discussed without the fluff or gatekeeping.
Hosted by Ericka Aguilar, founder of Fortune Billing Solutions, this podcast was created for dentists, office managers, dental billers, and front office teams who want practical strategies to improve collections, reduce insurance headaches, and build stronger systems inside their practices.
Ericka began her career in dentistry in 1995 and moved into dental billing in 1998. Since then, she has managed large group practices, built a successful national dental billing company, and helped hundreds of dental offices increase insurance reimbursement and improve billing performance. She has taught dental coding and billing workshops in 31 states, educated thousands of dental professionals, and developed one of the first Dental Administration Programs registered with the Private Postsecondary Board of Education.
Each episode delivers real-world guidance on dental billing, insurance claims, coding, denial management, compliance, leadership, artificial intelligence, and practice growth. You'll hear candid conversations, industry insights, and proven strategies that can be implemented immediately.
Whether you're new to dental billing or a seasoned professional, The Dental Billing Podcast will help you navigate the ever-changing world of dental insurance, protect patient benefits, and create a healthier, more profitable practice.
Because great billing isn't just about getting claims paid. It's about protecting revenue, supporting patients, and helping dental practices thrive.

Hey Ericka! It’s Kelly Murphy, I’ve talked to you about a year ago, about dental insurance and some other things about the periodontal practice i work for outside Philadelphia, PA. I’m sure you’ve talked to so many people- I will not be offended if you don’t recall- anyways I am still a huge fan of your podcast and love listening to you! I’ve even got Dr. Hardan to listen to a few very helpful episodes! so thank you for what you do, you are truly a huge help for me! I was hoping you might have some time to meet with Dr Hardan and I to see if you have any ideas for a consulting program, or to help me take some of your billing classes. i also was curious if you happen to have any specialty billing programs out like for periodontics or Earl Oral surgery or endodontics… I'm thinking that might be something. I'm very interested in is having like a focus on periodontal or implant coating. Anyways, sorry for the long message. I hope all is well and I look that I could just text you through my Spotify app.
