Laura Couture

Medical Insurance Billing Panel

Laura Couture is currently the Account Executive at Brady Billing, a third-party medical biller specializing in oral appliance billing for dentists nationwide. She started her career by being “baptized” into sleep by some of the industry’s leading doctors, vendors, and speakers. Before venturing into the billing arena exclusively, she was a clinical assistant in one of the nation’s leading Dental Sleep Practices. Starting as a clinician and moving to billing has always seemed to give her an edge up with an extensive knowledge of both billing and clinical guidelines. She is a Sleep Group Solutions Educator, as well as an ASBA Certified Sleep Care Coordinator. She is an active participant in insurance medical policy guidelines and staying up to date on how to best get doctor’s paid. Laura is a self-proclaimed true crime and coffee junkie and always looking for the next book to add to her library.
