Do’s and don’ts for analyzing dental insurance

Thinking about dropping a dental insurance plan? Our advice is to follow an analytical method so that your practice does not make a mistake. Keep in mind that making a blanket decision and lumping all insurance plans into one bucket is not the best strategy. Each insurance plan should be individually evaluated.

Practice Success Do

List your plans in order of highest production and collection to lowest. It is important to know exactly how much revenue is coming from each plan, including the patient co-payments.

Practice Success Dont

Don’t be hasty. Never eliminate a plan until you understand how you can recapture that level of practice revenue so that you are always working to increase overall practice production for stability and future growth.
