Less Insurance Dependence

LEARN MORE
Reduce your dependency on insurance; break free!

If you have been practicing dentistry for a while and working with one or more PPO (Preferred Provider Organization) plans, you would know how it drains your practice earnings. Some dentists even pay insurance companies around 38 cents for every dollar earned, causing considerable dents in their profitability. The situation has become so severe that some dentists believe that there is no future for private dentistry practice.

But does this have to be so? Not necessarily!

If dental practices can reduce their dependence on insurance companies, they will regain their profitability and improve their working environments and the industry, thus "making dentistry great again."

Who is Gary Takacs?

This is where Gary Takacs comes in. With over four decades of experience in the dental industry, many years as an outstanding coach, and as Co-owner of Life Smiles Dental Care in Phoenix, Arizona, Gary has managed to reduce insurance dependence and return his practice to profitability.

Now, Life Smiles is a thriving practice with some of the happiest and best-paid staff in the sector.

The nationally-recognized guru of dental practice success is ever ready to share his knowledge and experience with other dentists out there. He has been doing exactly this with the Less Insurance Dependence (LID) podcast he co-hosts with Naren Arulrajah, Founder and CEO of Ekwa Marketing.

Why should you listen to the
Less Insurance Dependence Podcast?

This podcast aims to help dentists reduce insurance dependency in their practices and save money. According to Gary, the current dental insurance system is broken. Many dentists feel they are on a hamster wheel, working long hours and hard to fulfill the conditions laid down by insurance companies. This has robbed them of the joy of practicing their profession and impacted their quality of life. Gary wants to help them reduce their insurance dependency, make their practices profitable, regain their joy and enthusiasm for the profession, and improve their lifestyle through the LID podcast.

The podcast has already aired over 200 episodes. Topics have included marketing a dental practice, overcoming the fears encountered by dentists when they move out of PPO plans, communicating these plans to patients, and how dentists can implement in-office membership plans as a step to reducing insurance dependence in their practices.

You too can gain access to this wealth of information by subscribing to the LID podcast now!
