Course Description
While the vast majority of doctors despise how insurance carriers treat them, it is a known fact that the insurance industry has done a fantastic job at spreading rumors that you (the doctors) need them more than they need you. It is a common misconception that if you drop an insurance plan you will lose all patients that have that insurance. I believe this lie has been perpetuated by the insurance industry as we’ve observed thousands of dental practices terminate their agreements while still retaining patients who have that particular insurance plan.  

Learning Objectives

  • Learn how to eliminate restrictive in-network contracts in a way that influences a high patient retention rate.  
  • Understand the history of how dental insurance plans gained so much control over the dental industry and how an individual dentist can free herself/himself from insurance control.
