The Psychology of Dental Insurance Freedom
24:09 Share

Eric Vickery and Alex Nottingham JD MBA discussed the psychology of dental practices taking insurance. Alex discussed how his father, a Pankey-trained dentist, felt he had to start taking insurance towards the middle of his career due to pressure, and how that made him unhappy. Eric explained how eliminating insurance can provide freedom and noted they have helped over 100 offices to change their relationship with insurance companies. They both noted it is easier to be out of network when more dentists are in that position and it's easier for everyone else to be in that position. Lastly, they discussed the fear around taking insurance and how it can be a successful marketing tool.HIGHLIGHTS
