Many are focusing on the futility of repairing a valplast partial. I keep focusing on the ludicrous scenario of not only is the fee horrible, but it doesn't even cover the lab bill itself! I suppose this a loss leader? I don't really think about retiring as long as I'm healthy because I enjoy what

said they will cover me with these exclusions. I'm kinda thinking it might not be worth it. Any thoughts on the matter? I've also lost half the hearing in my left ear due to a virus (IMHO). I'm generally very healthy and still do anything and everything. Exclusions: - Entire spine

they purchased. There is such a thing as predatory contracts, dont distract with these details of pharmaceutical formulary stories, we're talking about people dying or being allowed to die despite what the contract says for nothing more than to save them a lot of money, they love their healthy customers though

thing I saw in Europe, and Asia, the people are healthier and thinner. In Holland people literally biked everywhere, the amount of steps I recorded in Japan between the subways and walking everywhere was insane compared to here. Lots of levels to this. I think if you clean up administration costs

for our area. Many of the fees are higher than my fees.Bump, any more news on Extend? I am still on the fence... nothing new since they send the fee schedule and contract.Very interesting move by Aetna, to me it shows a healthy dental insurance market. We've seen Delta make a huge push into PPO

can't wait for change in our Insurance-HC-Food-Pharma system. We're at a unique point in history where that might just happen, but put your energy in writing your reps or helping others get healthy. Hopefully they get Kennedy in there, get some change going- it won't ever be as good as we hope

for the things that matter. Maybe insurance could learn a thing or two from these sharing companies.

. Its not about working faster (although I do), its about the schedule. When you do more on one person (which takes communication) you will produce more. When you dont care about their insurance and it comes across confidently to the patient that you want to get them healthy regardless

competition is a healthy thing, except when someone's health is on the line.The thing is when the PPO model was introduced in the mid 90's , the fees were like 15-20% below UCR. It wasn't bad if you were efficient and had chair time. Unfortunately, as the years went on, the plans got more and more draconian

is exactly what I want. We have had medishare for 6-8 years. I have never used it for myself, as I am unusually healthy, but my son broke his ankle really bad. Needed titanium pins, and rods. Etc. Once the deductible kicked in, they paid nicely. During the deductible the doctors had to write off

to stay true FFs all of this time. But, with a new pediatric dentist coming to town who is in network with everything, I think well need make this change in order to continue to grow the satellite practice.

is their care overall when it's something beyond routine (Cataracts or prostate) and is something more advanced? How is their end of life care determined?

of the dentists on here). Using this line of thinking the simple recall exam on a healthy patient is the most profitable procedure. 3 minutes tops. About $660 per hour with PPO fees and if you have 2 or 3 hygienists like I do you can multiply that number. That being said, I don't get rich from recall exams
