Ben Tuinei

Mr. Tuinei began his dental career in 2007 while working for a small dental corporation in Phoenix, Arizona managing all insurance related functions. During his first few months, he created systems and operating protocols and restructured a 12 person billing department that improved collections from a  low 65% to 98%.  He learned how to effectively negotiate with 3rd party payers that gave a boost in annual insurance related revenue of nearly 1 million dollars for a team of only 10 general dentists. Mr. Tuinei’s early experience caught the attention of other large group practices and hundreds of solo dental practitioners in Arizona, Utah, Nevada, Idaho and Colorado. Mr. Tuinei opened Optimum Dental Solutions in September 2009 to serve the needs of dentists who were actively seeking assistance to improve their insurance reimbursements. In 2014 Optimum Dental Solutions was rebranded to Veritas Dental Resources. Veritas stands for truth and is a core value you will not find while dealing with dental insurance directly. To-date, Mr Tuinei has worked with over 7000 dentists influencing over 3 billion dollars of newly negotiated revenue for his clients. He is going on his 24th year as a professional speaker and has been recognized by several state Dental Associations and study clubs as "The Authority" on PPO strategies and PPO fee negotiating.
