Ericka Aguilar is the CEO of Fortune Billing Solutions and one of the nation’s top dental billing experts. She’s been billing since 1998 and has helped hundreds of practices across the
U.S. increase insurance collections, clean up AR, and implement HIPAA-compliant billing
systems that actually work.

Known for her “Billing, Then Some” approach, Ericka created the Fortune Method — a proven
system that blends clean claim prep, legal compliance, and fierce insurance follow-up. She’s
managed multi-location group practices, coached high-volume PPO offices, and speaks
nationally about the billing mistakes most teams don’t even know they’re making.
Ericka is the creator of Dental Biller’s Appreciation Day, host of The Dental Billing Podcast,
and a featured guest on Dentalpreneur and Dentistry Uncensored. She teaches how to make
claims AI-proof, use laws like HITECH to get paid, and push back when insurance companies
delay or deny.

Whether she’s teaching how to make claims AI-proof, use the HITECH Act to charge for
upgrades, or fight unlawful denials through the insurance commissioner, Ericka’s mission is
simple: empower the people who do the billing to do it right — and get paid.

Ericka Aguilar, CEO & Founder of Fortune Billing Solutions
Dental Billing Expert | National Speaker | Compliance-Driven Revenue Strategist
Ericka Aguilar has been billing since 1998 and never looked back. With over 25 years in
dentistry, she’s become one of the most respected voices in the industry for turning billing chaos
into clean claims, higher collections, and bulletproof compliance. She’s not just a billing expert
— she’s a revenue reformer, a compliance coach, and the secret weapon behind hundreds of
top-performing practices nationwide.
Her journey started in 1995 in a small Southern California dental office, but it was her sharp eye
for broken systems — and her refusal to accept “that’s just how it’s done” — that catapulted her
into leadership. By the early 2000s, Ericka was managing a multi-location group practice as the
acting owner with power of attorney while the dentist relocated to Dubai. Under her leadership,
the practice didn’t just survive — it thrived.
She went on to found Fortune Billing Solutions, a full-service dental billing company that
blends compliance, coaching, and clean claim execution. Her motto is clear: “Just because your
claim was paid does NOT mean it was billed correctly.” Through Fortune, she’s coached offices
to reclaim over $500 million in lost or delayed revenue, streamlined AR systems that once
dragged for months, and trained billers to become confident, compliance-first experts.
Ericka’s approach is anything but ordinary. She created the Fortune 'Billing & Then Some'
Methodology, a proven system that integrates chart prep, follow-up protocols, clean claim
standards, and high-compliance workflows — all wrapped in grit, structure, and high standards.
Her methods are known for turning underperforming billing departments into profit-generating
powerhouses.
She’s also the creator of Dental Biller’s Appreciation Day (celebrated every July 20th), the
host of The Dental Billing Podcast, and a nationally recognized speaker who's taken the stage
at industry events, study clubs, and private workshops across 31 states. Her insights have been
featured on podcasts like Dentalpreneur with Dr. Mark Costes and Dentistry Uncensored with
Dr. Howard Farran, where she pulls back the curtain on shady insurance tactics and teaches
providers how to fight back — legally and ethically.
Ericka doesn’t just teach billing. She teaches strategy. She teaches grit. She teaches how to
make claims AI-resistant, how to use laws like HITECH and prompt-pay statutes to get paid
faster, and how to lead billing teams with structure and integrity.

Whether you’re a dental biller, office manager, or practice owner, Ericka is here to make sure
your systems are tight, your claims are clean, and your revenue is exactly where it should be —
off the books and into the bank.
