, but it would be nice to do something at least part time. I'm 65, healthy, and am under NO compulsion to get back into clinical for-profit dentistry as an associate or otherwise. Does anyone have any information about insurance claims consulting in terms of what it takes to get qualified to do

clients per day, cash pay, no insurance, no staff headaches. I'll be fifty next year and am thinking I would start the program 5-10 years from now The thing I LOVE about being retired is . . . NO FRICKIN' SCHEDULE! Most part-time jobs, like running the golf car at the local hospital's parking lot, is by a schedule! My design time is when I want it to be, sometimes when I'm having trouble sleeping, I'll work on a plan in the middle of the night! .

second career when needed. Can't practice clinical dentistry? Disability insurance got me covered. Collecting checks and boat drinks sounds about right. I'd buy an old truck and a lawn mower. Mow lawns in the summer, push snow in the winter, hunt and fishing the spring and fall. Low stress

at two part time associateships both which I left from. One was committing insurance fraud with poor work by the owner and the other was not busy enough.

it. # You can take 60-70K per year sustainably from 1.5mil. Can you live on that easily? It certainly can be done but your kids aren't going to Harvard. The biggest thing is med insurance and college tuition. I'd say you have at most half of what you need with kids that young. At 53 with no kids left

and really think it over. Nobody's getting any younger, and time isn't waiting for us. Good for you!! I hope i live long enough to appreciate that feeling! Biden passed a law early in his administration that limits health insurance costs to 8% (I think, maybe it's 6%) of your adjusted income. If you shop through the ACA website, you can find affordable healthcare.

one of the main reasons the patients come to you is because you accept their insurance. When you are OON, I think it is trickier because these patients don't just want to see any doctor who accepts their insurance. They are choosing to see you despite the fact that you are not contracted

on the altar of dentistry. So I'm trying to brainstorm, what else might be out there? I know the usual ideas: dental insurance claims review, teaching, consulting. I'm trying to come up with other creative ideas to use my skills and training, maybe not even dentally related directly. It is very hard
