Widely recognized as the nation's foremost authority on dental insurance benefits and reimbursement, Dr Tom Limoli also successfully complemented over five decades of private dental practice in both Atlanta and Hinesville, GA. As the founder of Atlanta Dental Consultants / Limoli and Associates, he served as a consultant claims reviewer and plan designer for the many facets of the employee benefit industry. He authored several textbooks on the subject including four editions of The Dental Consultant Looks at Insurance, and Fee-for-Service Dentistry with a Managed Care Component, as well as numerous other publications on dental insurance reimbursement. For the local profession of dentistry he chaired the Georgia Dental Association’s council on Peer Review, Dental Health and Dental Care. In addition, Dr. Limoli chaired the writing of the states first Quality Assessment Manual on Parameters of Care. As a national lecturer and educator on the subject, he was on the editorial board for numerous industry publications including The Compendium of Continuing Education in Dentistry and the Journal of the American Dental Association. Over his professional career he presented educational programs in all 50 states as well as served on the faculty of Emory University in Atlanta, the Medical College of Georgia in Augusta, as well as numerous other institutions of dental education.
Following his graduation in 1948 from the University of Pennsylvania school of Dental Medicine in Philadelphia he remained and served there as a clinical professor in prosthodontics focusing on the oral rehabilitation of the cleft palate patient. During the Korean conflict he served his country in the US Army Dental Corp and later opened his first private dental practice in rural Hinesville Georgia where for years he was the sole health care provider in three counties. These early years in his professional career drove his passion to dedicate service to those most in need of assistance. Those in need were not only treated at his busy private practice but he could frequently be found at the Ben Massell Clinic.
Being an accomplished member of the American Federation of Musicians Local 148-462 also fueled his drive and zest for the precision of his life’s many dedications. Dr Tom’s woodwind skills allowed for his mastery of the many clarinets within his personal collection. His numerous public performances were teamed with the fellow members of the Band of Atlanta – conductor Bob Wagner, Emory Wind Ensemble – conductor Charles Bradley, Atlanta Concert Band and The Atlanta Community Orchestra. His most memorable musical accomplishment was his solo performance of Franz Von Suppe’s Poet and the Peasant at the Chastain Park Amphitheatre.
As an active member of Our Lady of the Assumption Catholic Church he is survived by Christel, his bride of over forty years. Children include a daughter Michelle of Rockville MD and a son Tom Jr of Sandy Springs GA. The family graciously requests that memorial contributions be made to his scholarship at the University of Pennsylvania school of Dental Medicine. Visit: www.LIMOLI.com
