If the dentist-patient world is perfect, you would have the time to talk to each and every one of your patients and explain that there will come a time when you will no longer be contracted with certain PPO plans. In one of our past episodes, we called this the ‘Heads Up Conversation.’ But, in reality, it is not possible to have the ‘Heads up conversation’ with all your patients face to face. 

Hence, in this episode, Gary and Naren discuss an option in response to the fact that dentists cannot have the ‘Heads up conversation’ with all their patients. 

When you make use of this option, you can help your patients understand how your decision will positively impact them, how your practice will continue to work to help patients make use of their benefits, and ensure that your patients remain loyal to your dental office.
