The Dentalpreneur Podcast w/ Dr. Mark Costes 1898: Solving the PPO Riddle Pt. 1
On today's episode, we have the first of a 2-part series from the TPL (The Practice Launchpad) event in San Diego, CA. Vivek Kinra's (founder of PPO Profits) presentation, "Solving the PPO Riddle" is broken down and shared in this episode.
He brings invaluable insights into the Importance of Proper Credentialing and Fee Schedules in dental practices. We start off by discussing the critical role of negotiation in insurance contracts and how it can significantly impact your practice. Then, we delve into the utilization of the High Tech Law in specialty procedures, highlighting how it allows certain procedures to be performed at cash fees through specific patient agreements. Vivek also emphasizes the impact of having expert support, like PPO Profits, in insurance negotiations to achieve substantial returns. We also touch upon the various types of insurance plans in dentistry, the distinctions between credentialing, contracting, and fee negotiations, and their implications for dental practices. Lastly, we explore the technical aspects of National Provider Identifiers (NPIs), focusing on the difference between Type 1 and Type 2, and the detailed process of credentialing for dentists and associates. Don't forget to tune in tomorrow for Part 2 of this discussion!
