When it comes to working at a dental practice, Janice Janssen has seen and done it all. Since her introduction into the field as a teen, she has worked as a dental hygienist as well as in other roles including dental assistant, office management, insurance billing, and collections.
As co-founder of Global Team Solutions (GTS), Janice enjoys consulting because it allows her to share her techniques with the doctors, hygienists, and office staff who are on the front line every day. She is also a Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE), which positions her as an expert dental practice fraud and embezzlement.
Don't Get Hoodwinked
Presented by: Janice Janssen, RDH, CFE
Safeguard the financial side of your practice by avoiding being deceived. Embezzlement occurs in 3 out of 5 dental offices. Given the state of our economy, those odds are likely to increase.
Unfortunately, it CAN happen to you. Ensure that your profit is not walking out the back door and leaving you to face loss, betrayal or even bankruptcy.
Learning Objectives:
- Assess the risk of employee embezzlement or fraud in your practice
- Implement proven systems to safeguard your practice
- Learn what to do if you think something fraudulent is happening
