There’s plenty of insurance pain everywhere across the country. In the last two years, more dentists have said, “I’ve had it” and transitioned their insurance participation. But can a transition from PPO insurance to fee-for-service be successful?

Yes! In this episode, Bill Rossi shares how. Bill is the country’s leading expert on PPO deci­sions and transitions. PPO decisions must be made in the context of the practice’s realities.
