Course Info: https://dentalsuite903.com/how-we-got-out-of-network-in-person/ Have you just about had it with being in-network with insurance? Insurance plans dictate what treatment is covered—if at all.  Insurance reimbursements are not keeping pace with inflation.  And your office wastes valuable time chasing down insurance payments. You'd like to get out “someday,” but think you “just can't do it right now.”      Josh Bernstein, DDS and Allison Bernstein invite you to attend a very special 1-day program on March 10, 2023 at Dental Suite 903 in Oakland, California on how to finally plan your exit strategy and get out-of-network.    We will be teaching a small group of 10 dentists how we got out-of-network over 20 years ago--and how you can, too.   The course will be held in our real, working, out-of-network office, where there will be a morning lecture with step by step instructions on how to get out--while managing and minimizing the risk.    Lunch and learn is included so that all attendees can network with each other.    In the afternoon, we will take a volunteer from the group and do an over-the-shoulder view through the new patient experience from initial phone call, to consult, to exam, to clinical photos, to treatment plan presentation, to financial arrangements and scheduling.  Then we'll partner up and do a photo workshop, before wrap up.     This will be a small intimate group with plenty of opportunity for questions and answers. Included in the course will be the proprietary forms, patient emails, scripts, and verbiage that we use to convert inquiries into out-of-network, fee-for-service patients—with zero sales pressure.   After the course, all attendees will get a complementary 1-hour phone call with us to consult on specific needs of their unique practice situation.    If you're ready to finally take action and get control of your practice, please send an email to dentalsuite903@gmail.com.  First come, first served! Tuition is $995 and CE credits are available.   Why take this course: Practice quality dentistry without insurance interference. You're not trapped.  You can go out of network.  But it takes proper planning. With prices rising and insurance reimbursements falling, staying in-network and doing quality dentistry is not sustainable long-term. Learn from a real, working dental practice that used to be in-network and successfully went out-of-network and has stayed out-of-network for 20+ years.  This episode is sponsored by Kettenbach Dental.  Contact: (877) 532-2123 Website: www.kettenbach-dental.us Webshop: www.kettenbachusa.com   Offer for Fee For Service Podcast Members   Purchase a PreXion CBCT model and install by December 31, 2022 and Receive either a free mounting stand (if needed) or a $1,000 rebate in the form of an Amazon or Target gift card.

It takes place in the little town of Woodstock in upstate New York where Lacey Schwartz grew up with her parents Peggy and Robert.  She went to the local schools and celebrated her bas mitzvah at the Woodstock Jewish Congregation. With her darker skin tone and curly hair, Lacey always looked different than most of her friends. When she was a teenager Lacey found out the truth about her identity. She made a film about her childhood called “Little White Lie.” I went to visit Lacey at her home in upstate New York where we talked about life lessons and the power of denial. “Now What?” is produced with help from Allison Bernstein and Rafaella Gunz.
