In this episode of the Less Insurance Dependence Podcast, Gary Takacs and Naren Arulrajah explore strategies for staying motivated as dental practices transition out of PPO networks. They emphasize that this journey is more of a marathon than a sprint, with practices seeing gradual improvements as they reduce their dependence on insurance. The key to success lies in maintaining a strong sense of motivation, both for doctors and their teams. Dentists must act as Chief Motivation Officers (CMOs), leading by example and keeping morale high during this challenging process. As the team stays motivated and patient concerns are handled with empathy, practices can successfully navigate the transition out of the network and thrive.
