From PPOs to Fee-for-Service: Turnkey Transition Plan

While the practice of dentistry is strongly influenced by Preferred Provider Organizations (PPOs), the importance and role of these organizations in the typical practice continue to be hotly debated. Proponents of PPOs cite their role in marketing the practice and fostering new patient flow, whereas opponents suggest that they limit earning potential and adversely affect quality of care. Regardless, the current climate has demanded that practice owners evaluate how they run their businesses, and assessing PPO participation and ‘pruning the PPO tree’ -- or going completely fee-for-service -- can be a great place to start. Join Dr. Gary Light, practicing dentist and fee-for-service transition coach, for a review of proven strategies and tools for planning and executing a PPO to fee-for-service transition. Dr. Light will review how to: • Assess the profitability impact of each PPO that you participate in • Identify which PPO/s to resign from (immediately, soon, later, or never) • Develop a long-term plan to become completely fee-for-service • Maintain a successful fee-for-service practice in the long-term • Add marketing tactics to your practice to shift new patient flow from PPOs to other sources Rely on Us.
