Out-of-Network, Into Profit: Strategic Insurance Navigation for Dentists

Dr. Amrita Patel

This course equips dental practice owners with practical strategies to improve insurance reimbursements, evaluate participation with PPO plans, and confidently transition out-of-network when appropriate. Through real-world examples and actionable frameworks, attendees will learn how to take greater control of their practice finances while maintaining strong patient relationships.

Participants will learn how to:

• Negotiate more effectively with insurance companies to improve reimbursements
• Determine when remaining in-network no longer makes financial sense
• Transition out-of-network while maintaining patient trust and retention
• Implement systems that support a more profitable, less insurance-dependent practice
