Dentists Are Constantly Nickel and Dimed by PPO Plans

Robert Thorup, DDS Season 4 Episode 11

So many times we see dental teams struggle with charging their patients for the services they provide. They often times feel they are nickel and diming their patients. Nothing could be further from the truth. Layering your treatment plans, being transparent with the codes and services you have diagnosed, and being paid fairly for those services is not gouging, nor nickel and diming the patient. This is an actual mental block many dentists suffer from because they are sincerely altruistic. They forget they have to learn skills to run their businesses, and if they are not profitable, they will fail. PPO Plans are constantly nickel and diming dental offices with reimbursements, or the lack thereof. Understanding their contracts, and how to be paid fairly for dental procedures is what we teach here at MPMB.
