Practice Booster's New CEO, Dr. Jim DiMarino, Announces Release of Must-Have 2023 Dental Practice Coding and Administration Manuals for Pre-Sale, Including Launch of Two New Resources

AMERICAN FORK, Utah, Oct. 27, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Practice Booster, an eAssist Publishing Company, released for pre-sale the 2023 editions of the dental industry's most respected resources. The Practice Booster library includes three of the most well-known and highly-regarded manuals – Dental Coding with Confidence, Dental Administration with Confidence, and Medical Dental Cross Coding with Confidence. The 2023 pre-sale includes the launch of two new manuals – Dental Documentation with Confidence, and Dental Technology with Confidence – expanding the lineup of definitive resources available to dental practice owners and their office teams.

"Dental office cash flow and profitability depends, to a large extent, on their ability to collect all that is rightfully owed to them by dental insurance carriers and/or their patients," explained James DiMarino, DMD, MSED, CDC, the new CEO of Practice Booster. "It simply cannot be done without the wealth of knowledge, guidance, and 'insider info' these manuals provide to the dental profession for accurately preparing, submitting and processing claims. Running a dental practice without these critical tools is like trying to do dentistry with one hand tied behind your back!"

Dr. DiMarino recently assumed the Chief Executive Officer position at Practice Booster. He holds a dental and master's degree in education from the University of Pennsylvania. He completed a General Practice Residency, became a solopreneur practicing general dentistry, all while researching and implementing advanced dental technologies and consulting as a Dentrix and Schick trainer. Dr. DiMarino has worked in the dental insurance industry for over a decade as a dental consultant, a State Dental Director, and as a National Dental Director. In 2018 he completed the certification requirements to become an AADC Certified Dental Consultant.

Dr. DiMarino served as the Director of Medical Affairs for GlaxoSmithKline ensuring the effective deployment of safety/compliance/governance standards across GSK's Consumer Healthcare business which included: Sensodyne, ProNamel, Biotene, Parodontax, and Aquafresh in the USA, Canada, and Puerto Rico. As the Director of Clinical Affairs for Premier Dental Products, Dr. DiMarino coordinated product launch strategies, sales team and dealer representative training, led their key opinion leader (KOL) engagement program, and participated in new product development. Dr. DiMarino is also a patented inventor, trainer, educator, publisher, and lecturer having presented across the USA, Japan, Germany, London, Poland, Mexico, and Finland.
