Tessina Bullock (Dental Consultant- Insurance Expert)
Tessina Barney has been in dentistry since 2008. Her natural curiosity and desire to fight for the underdog led her to heights she had not intended. She has been featured in Dental Economics magazine and successfully and single-handedly got the insurance commissioner to not only investigate an insurance company but also tell them to put a stop to their illegal practices. She has been a guest several times on the podcast Saynotoppos by Ben Tuinei, where they discuss how offices can succeed at getting insurance to pay. She was excited to further help offices by starting Verus with Ben and doing insurance verification for offices to help reduce the amount of workload they have. Tessina will always continue to grow and excel at taking the power back from insurance companies and putting it back into the hands of the Dental industry where it belongs!
