In the late 1970s Dental Insurance was considered a good thing by patients and dentists alike. Fast forward to the year 2020 and more than any other issue, dentists report that managed care dental insurance is the number one biggest problem they face today.

“Dump Your Worst PPOs, Keep the Patients, Work Less and Make More Money”

For longer than I care to admit I was an in-network provider for Delta Dental and Blue Cross Blue Shield. When I was starting out in practice, “in-network” seemed like a pretty good deal. They send us patients and in return, we agree to a small reduction in fee.

As time passed, I realized my cost of doing business and the fees PPOs were willing to pay were growing farther apart. I could no longer afford to offer uncompromised care while accepting their compromised fees. I made a difficult decision. I fired both Delta and Blue Cross.

Leaving PPOs wasn’t a move I made lightly nor hastily or unprepared. Quite the contrary. Before I gave them any indication I was leaving, I crafted a plan for my exit. It took many months to deploy, but in the end, I was able to keep most of my patients, collect full fee-for-service, and be rid of the insurance companies’ bullying tactics.

Today, some of our colleagues write off upwards of 20%, even 25% of their fees while bearing a 70% practice overhead. Do the math. With poor reimbursement and high practice overhead, it’s almost as if we’re working for the insurance companies.

Is it Even Possible to Dump All of Your PPOs Today?

Although it’s possible, it’s not necessarily the best plan for many practices today. There are many factors to be considered before you simply cut your managed care umbilical cord. If more than 25% of your patients have PPO insurance for which you are in-network, just dumping all the plans could unnecessarily jeopardize your practice.

When my father was dying of cancer he was deeply in debt and had a veritable PPO “factory.” Elizabeth and I were bedside at the Mass General Hospital when he told us he had no retirement savings, no life insurance… nothing for my mother to live on. He asked us to take over his practice, turn it around to create financial security for my mother. We promised we would, and we did.

He had 15 PPOs and was bleeding money when he passed away. 3 years after taking control of his practice we had eliminated 13 of his 15 plans and created a highly profitable practice. During this program, you’ll discover exactly what to do to REDUCE YOUR DEPENDENCE ON MANAGED CARE INSURANCE and create a more enjoyable, far more profitable practice.

The most important move you must make prior to making any decisions regarding leaving even a single network PPO insurance plan.

A common dental insurance error made daily by dental team members which is costing you money and clouding your ability to make appropriate decisions about the plans with which you participate in-network.

How a simple formula developed by a camera company 30 years ago helps you make the right decisions when deciding whether to leave a particular network PPO.

Three critical questions you must ask (and answer) before you leave the network of a single PPO.

How advice from the owner of an envelope company can protect you against a financially catastrophic mistake when deciding to leave one or more PPO network plans.

An untapped source of local companies who would be open to (even enthusiastic about) referring their employees to your practice… a DEEP WELL of brand new FEE-FOR-SERVICE patients.

How to get a VIP Insiders’ introduction to the decision-makers at these local companies happy to refer their Fee-For-Service new patients to your practice.

The ultimate hook (ethical bribe) you can offer business owners or HR folks at these local companies which creates a true win-win scenario, motivating them to want to tell their employees about your practice.

One of the most common errors dentists make when deciding whether to offer patients a percentage or flat amount off when reducing a fee (this one is EASY to avoid and will PREVENT what is routinely SIX FIGURES LOST ANNUAL REVENUE.)

Exactly what your team member should say to your otherwise happy patient who tells her that as much as they love you guys, she and her husband “need” to switch dentists since their insurance changed and you are not in-network with their new PPO.

A large (and growing larger) group of folks in your community who don’t have dental insurance, many of whom love to visit the dentist… are just waiting for you to invite them! Who are they?

Now that you know who they are, how do you get access to them to invite them into your practice?

How to add 10, 20, even 30 EXTRA new patients…
in a single afternoon!

Why you should never allow the insurance companies to be the first to inform your patients that you’ll be leaving the network and exactly how to time your announcement to GUARANTEE the evil insurance companies can’t possibly pre-empt you.
