Founder, PPO EXIT for Dentists
For longer than I care to admit I was an in-network provider for several PPO insurance plans.
When I was starting out in practice, “in-network” seemed like a pretty good deal. They send us patients and in return, we agree to a small reduction in fee.
As time passed, I realized my cost of doing business and the fees PPOs were willing to pay were growing farther apart. Although they deny it, the PPOs did everything possible to negatively influence treatment recommendations. I could no longer afford to offer uncompromised care while accepting their compromised fees. I made a difficult decision. I planned a slow and methodical exit from PPO participation.
Leaving PPOs wasn’t a move I made lightly, hastily or unprepared. Quite the contrary. Before I gave them any indication I was leaving, I crafted a plan for my exit. It took many months to deploy, but in the end, I was able to keep most of my patients, collect full fee-for-service, and be rid of the insurance companies’ bullying tactics.
Today, some of our colleagues write off upwards of 20%, even 25% of their fees while bearing a 70% practice overhead. Do the math. With poor reimbursement and high practice overhead, it’s almost as if we’re working for the insurance companies.
Is it Even Possible to Dump All of Your PPOs Today?
Although it’s possible, it’s not necessarily the best plan for many practices today. There are many factors to be considered before you simply cut your managed care umbilical cord. If more than 25% of your patients have PPO insurance for which you are in-network, just dumping all the plans could unnecessarily jeopardize your practice.
Whether You Want to Say Goodbye to ALL Your PPOs or Just the Worst, Don’t Miss this Webinar!

- A common dental insurance error made daily by dental team members which is costing you money and clouding your ability to make appropriate decisions about the plans with which you participate in-network.

- Three critical questions you must ask (and answer) before you leave the network of a single PPO.
- How advice from the owner of an envelope company can protect you against a financially catastrophic mistake when deciding to leave one or more PPO network plans.
- An untapped source of local companies who would be open to (even enthusiastic about) referring their employees to your practice… a DEEP WELL of brand new FEE-FOR-SERVICE patients.
- How to get a VIP Insiders’ introduction to the decision-makers at these local companies happy to refer their Fee-For-Service new patients to your practice.
- One of the most common errors dentists make when deciding whether to offer patients a percentage or flat amount off when reducing a fee (this one is EASY to avoid and will PREVENT what is routinely SIX FIGURES LOST ANNUAL REVENUE.)

Founder, PPO EXIT for Dentists
Dr. Tom Orent was the first dentist in Massachusetts to be Accredited by the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry. He served 6 years as an Accreditation Examiner for the AACD. Dr. Pete Dawson and Dr. Gordon Christensen wrote the forewords to 2 of his books… and yet…
Tom’s participation in PPOs nearly destroyed his practice…
Dr. Orent came within 3 days of bankruptcy nearly losing his home and office. After a few years of trial and error, he was able to drop his PPOs and transform his practice into a highly profitable 100% fee-for-service practice.
A few years later when his father was diagnosed with terminal cancer, he took over his father’s practice to help his mom. Within 2 years he methodically eliminated 13 of his dad’s 15 PPOs and turned the practice around.
Over the last 24 years, he has helped hundreds of dentists safely and predictably reduce their dependence on PPOs.
- The personal from the bottom of your heart letter you MUST write to your patients when you’re about to pull the plug on their plan… and the paradox… why you must NEVER mail them the letter!
- The ultimate hook (ethical bribe) you can offer business owners or HR folks at these local companies which creates a true win-win scenario, motivating them to want to tell their employees about your practice.
- The LEGAL WAY to charge your FULL FEE even if you are in-network for your patient’s PPO. Not knowing this may be costing you six-figures LOSS each year… or worse, without this information, your team members may be routinely (although unwittingly) committing insurance fraud.
- How to retaliate against the inevitable “drop-down” fee using this KILLER 3-WORD PHRASE, proven to align your patients with you and against the Evil Insurance Empire!
- Why you should never send another pre-determination of benefits and how to convince patients to schedule and move forward with care in the absence of a Pre-D.
- How to get PPOs to pay you more money than they are ever willing to publicly admit to.
