The Fee That Patients Are Most Sensitive To When You Resign From Their PPO Plan

When a practice drops a PPO plan, patients don't always react the way you'd expect. It's not the cost of a crown or an implant that surprises them—it's their hygiene visit. For years, they've believed their cleanings were "free," but once you're out of network, that changes.

In this episode, Gary and Naren dive into why hygiene visit fees create the biggest pushback, how insurance companies handle co-pays differently, and what you can do to keep patients from leaving. You'll hear real-world examples, simple communication strategies, and ways to prevent surprises for your patients.

Navigating this transition doesn't have to be difficult. By preparing in advance and understanding what matters most to patients, you can avoid common pitfalls and ensure a smoother shift to fee-for-service.

If you're thinking about resigning from PPOs, this episode is a must-listen. Learn how to keep your practice thriving while reducing insurance dependence—without losing valuable patients.
