Dropping PPO Plans is not something you can do overnight. As a practice owner experiencing the harmful impact PPO plans have on your practice profitability, it’s understandable if you want to drop PPO plans immediately without any hesitation.

However, to successfully drop PPO plans, the goal is to keep as many in-network patients as possible. With proper preparation, your in-network patients will stay loyal to your dental practice even after you drop PPO plans. 

In this episode, Naren and Gary discuss 5 practical things you could do right NOW that will help your practice drop PPO plans successfully. 

If you are a dentist wondering about the specific steps you need to take to get rid of PPO plans, the upcoming Masterclass titled “6 STEPS TO SUCCESSFULLY RESIGN FROM PPO PLANS” is perfect for you!
