Everyone is feeling the pressure of inflation. It’s so high that it has almost become double digits and wages are 20%-30% higher than what they used to be. In the middle of this, dentists are getting sick of how PPO plans are cutting fees and controlling the fees. 

Therefore, dentists are becoming impatient to drop PPO plans and treat more patients who do not have the insurance mindset, where they will only accept treatments only if they are covered by insurance. 

However, some variables will affect when you could successfully resign from PPO plans.

In this episode, Gary and Naren discuss how inflation plays a role in dentists’ impatience to drop PPO plans, the variables that affect the timing, and helpful past episodes that will give you more insight on how to drop PPO plans successfully.

In the upcoming MBA Workshop, you will learn the ten elements of a thriving practice and 24 systems that will enable you to apply the 10 core success areas in your dental practice!Learn more and register for the MBA workshop by clicking here: https://bit.ly/3QnYHcA
