In this podcast episode, Gary and Naren share their expertise and experience helping practice owners resign from PPO plans. They discuss the real risk of resigning from PPO plans and how dentists can sometimes overthink decisions and fear making the wrong one.

Gary emphasizes that measuring risk is vital in decision-making, but only some dentists fear going backward financially or losing their take-home income. 

He shares a client’s story about the fear of resigning from PPO plans in a competitive market with many other dentists and how the fear of social proof can negatively affect decision-making.

The conversation can be constructive for younger dentists who cannot be Delta Premier members and can only accept PPO plans. Gary also provides essential qualifications for Delta Premier members considering resigning from PPO plans.

By listening to this episode, you’ll gain valuable insights into the real risks of resigning from PPO plans, how to approach decision-making, and important considerations for dentists looking to make a change.
