If you’re a fee-for-service practice — as most of our clients are — then your instinct may be to recoil when you learn about the topic of our latest podcast: How to Maximize the Benefits of Your Patients’ Insurance. Believe us when we say that you’ll want to hear us out! In this episode, Tanya Evers from the Medical Dental Financial Corporation explains how even FFS practices can use the medical aspect of dentistry to bill insurance companies even if they’re not in network.

What Your Patients Need
One of the first questions a patient will ask is “Do you take my insurance?” When you tell them no, they automatically assume that they can’t afford treatment and walk, leaving you with less money in your coffers. They lose out on the high-calibre treatment you provide and you lose out on money and a potential patient-for-life.

Make It a Win-Win
For most people, price matters — especially when they’re faced with involved procedures such as dental implants, bone grafts, and sleep apnea treatments. In this episode, you’ll learn how billing medical insurance companies can help you collect your regular fees and your patients can afford the out-of-pocket expenses. Everybody wins! And there’s no need for your practice to be insurance-driven, either. You can increase your revenue by capitalizing on the fact that many dental procedures are, in fact, medically necessary.

If you’re not into growing your practice, helping more people, and making more money, then don’t listen to our latest episode. If you want to find a way to utilize insurance without making it a primary focus, then you won’t want to miss a single minute.
