New episodes weekly featuring dentists who've successfully transitioned and the strategies that work.
Practices That Made the Leap
"We dropped our first PPO 18 months ago. Our 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 to write-offs. After following the RID roadmap, I've recovered $240,000 of that in the first year. Our profitability went from 22% to 38%."
"As a specialty practice, PPO networks were killing our margins. We transitioned our perio and implant practice to 100% fee-for-service. Revenue is up 34%, and we can now invest in the latest technology without worrying about insurance reimbursement rates."
