There’s plenty of insurance pain everywhere across the country. In the last two years, more dentists have said, “I’ve had it” and transitioned their insurance participation. But can a transition from PPO insurance to fee-for-service be successful?

Yes! In this episode, Bill Rossi shares how. Bill is the country’s leading expert on PPO deci­sions and transitions. PPO decisions must be made in the context of the practice’s realities. Bill has over 35 years of experience in advising dental practices. For the past 20 years, he has helped many dentists strategically and safely cut back on their PPO participation. This has added substantially to their bottom lines and their practice independence.
