Insurance Breakup: Dentist's Truth Behind The Split
“It’s Not Me, It’s You”: Break Up with Your Insurance!
Are you in a toxic relationship with insurance? You’re not alone—every dentist is! Just like an ex-partner, insurance companies can feel very controlling. It’s all take and no give. And, when you think about it, there was no emotional connection to begin with.
Look, we get it. Breakups are never easy! Ex-partners often gossip to mutual friends—in this case, your patients—to make it seem as though the breakup is your fault. Companies tell patients that you no longer accept their insurance. And what do they do? They provide a list of dentists who DO take the patient’s insurance.
Think of everything you have to GAIN from the breakup:
- Make more money. Reclaim the 25 to 30 percent of profits that insurance companies steal from you every year!
- Build trust with patients. If insurance doesn’t cover it, patients think they don’t need it. With insurance out of the picture, patients will listen to YOU!
- Get the respect you deserve. Insurance tries to downplay your value. By breaking up, patients can better appreciate the services you provide!
Will you lose a few patients? Probably. But as we’ve all learned from breakups, the most loyal friends stick around no matter what. With insurance gone, you can focus on nurturing relationships with the patients who value you. It’s about quality over quantity!
