Only available as part of a package

Practices have seen tremendous dental insurance changes in the last decade. Staying up to date on benefit trends and contract clauses can keep you from losing money. Both in- and out-of-network offices should be aware of legislative changes in both the medical and dental world. Let’s talk about how plans are changing and what you can do to stay profitable. We’ll also throw in the added spice of how workforce changes have made it more difficult to manage the entire insurance system.

Learning Objectives:

Discuss evolving plan designs. Understand why Medicare Advantage plans are suddenly everywhere.
Assess the impact of retail consumer behavior on our patients.
