Out-of-Network Lessons and Advice

What happens when you decide to take your dental practice out of network with major insurance providers like Delta? We'll take you through our unique journey and the strategic moves we made to ensure a smooth transition. From navigating patient retention to leveraging insurance participation for growth, we share the real-world impacts and successes we experienced. Learn how to maintain profitability while still working with PPOs, and understand the critical timing for dropping certain insurance plans. Plus, discover the pivotal role your team's mindset plays in communicating your practice’s unique value and experience to patients.

We also delve into the logistical challenges we encountered, such as evolving dental fee structures.   Hear about the lessons we learned from initial issues with inaccurate estimates and lower-than-expected reimbursements, and how aligning fee schedules with realistic operating costs led to a 12% increase in total fees. Through trial and error, we found ways to ease the transition for patients, allowing us to thrive despite rising labor costs. Finally, we celebrate our team’s incredible attitude and achievements, sharing insights to inspire confidence in your own path to success in dental practice management.
