Going out of network is not something a dentist would do without having second thoughts. As a dentist, it is not unusual for you to think that almost all your patients come from PPO plans and that you will not get enough patients once you drop PPO plans. Dentists have 10 common questions about dropping PPO plans to clear their doubts and take action.
Gary explained the first 5 questions in episode #199 of the Less Insurance Dependence podcast.
In this episode, Naren and Gary discuss question #6 to question #10 dentists have when dropping PPO Plans.
