"We dropped our first PPO 18 months ago. Revenue dipped for two months, then surpassed our previous levels. We kept 87% of those patients. I wish we'd done it sooner."
"The PPO calculator was the wake-up call. I was losing $312,000 per year. After following the RID roadmap, I recovered $240,000 in year one. Profitability went from 22% to 38%."
"PPO networks were killing our margins as a specialty practice. We transitioned to 100% fee-for-service. Revenue is up 34%, and we invest in the latest technology without worrying about reimbursement rates."
