The Reducing Insurance Dependence Academy organizes an annual summit to help dentists trying to reduce their practice dependency on insurance get patients. You can join these summits for absolutely free. 

The 2022 Reducing Insurance Dependence Academy Summit was unbelievably successful, with amazing speakers and a record number of attendees. RIDA currently has 1000+ practice owners signed up as members. 

In this episode, Gary and Naren discuss 5 specific things that we could all learn from the 2022 Annual RIDA Summit.

Listen to find out insight that will help you get a better understanding of how the reducing insurance dependency process works in the current dental world!

Having a proper marketing team that can support you along your insurance dependence-reducing path is very helpful because you do not have to figure things out on your own. Getting help from experts will increase results, and you will surely create a flow of new patients who do not have an insurance mindset. 

We would encourage you to schedule a free marketing strategy meeting with Ekwa Marketing  to find out what exactly you should do to attract more patients: https://www.lessinsurancedependence.com/marketing-strategy-meeting/
