As a practice owner, you will realize that your costs are now going through the roof, and your fees are already ridiculously low.

The cost of every expense category has increased, especially in wages. So when you have to deal with all these challenges, it is beyond unfair when PPOs decide to cut your fees even lower!

But did you know that even your patients and companies that buy insurance plans get negatively impacted by PPO plans? Unfortunately, patients and companies may not be aware of how they lose by getting involved with PPO plans. After listening to this episode, you will get to know how exactly how they, too, have to face the negative consequences of getting involved with insurance companies.

Listen to this episode as Gary and Naren discuss the game played by insurance companies, how everyone gets affected by insurance and what you could do about it as a practice owner.
