“It wasn’t intentional—but it changed everything.”

Out of $3.5 million in claims, just $17,899.57 was deemed improper.
He was sentenced to 24 months in federal prison.

In this episode, Linda sits down with Roy Shelburne, DDS—nationally recognized speaker on dental documentation, billing, and compliance—to share the story behind his powerful mission:

“I went to prison so you don’t have to.”

What happened wasn’t intentional fraud. It was what he didn’t know—about documentation standards, compliance systems, and how “blind disregard” is defined legally.

Now, Roy is committed to helping dental professionals protect their practices before a mistake becomes a crisis.

They explore:

• Why ignorance is no excuse in dental billing and compliance
• How small documentation gaps can create major legal exposure
• The powerful role AI now plays in insurance audits
• What “blind disregard” really means in today’s legal landscape
• The 7-step compliance system every dental practice needs
• How to protect your license, your team, and your family

Roy shares practical, actionable steps—not fear tactics—that help practices operate with clarity, integrity, and confidence.

If you accept Medicaid, Medicare, federal employee plans, ACA reimbursements, or any government funding, this episode is essential listening.

Because the goal isn’t to scare you.
It’s to protect you.
