Abstract

Managing an oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMS) practice has undergone dramatic changes. Electronic health records, privacy laws, revenue cycle management, online marketing, and the rise of dental service organizations (DSOs) present increased daily complexity for oral and maxillofacial surgeons in private practice, hospital-based employees, and academic surgeons. This article is structured to discuss the role of DSOs, private equity in OMS, online practice marketing, accounting and tax considerations, and modern essentials of practice management.

Keywords: Benefits; Coding; Electronic medical records; Marketing; Practice management; Revenue cycle management.
