For many dentists who are participating with PPO’s they find themselves in a difficult position:
1. They need patients to treat in order to keep the business going and earn their paycheck
2. They find it harder to earn a profit as they are treating more patients at low fees.
The thought of no longer accepting PPOs can be a tantalizing one, but will there be any patients?
Fortunately there is another option – optimization of PPO’s and how they are handled!
Simply put, this means optimization of the systems and revenue generated on PPO patients, understanding which PPO’s are profitable, or can become profitable, structuring your fees appropriately, improving PPO fees, benefiting from fee options you have that are state specific and other proven key strategies.
