Shownotes Transcript

Dr. Todd Snyder and Alex Nottingham JD MBA discuss the challenges of working with dental insurance companies. Dr. Snyder described his experience of having his hands tied due to the limited reimbursements the insurance companies offered for his services. He decided to open a practice that did not take insurance, allowing him to provide a higher quality of service without being restricted by reimbursement rates. Alex then shared his experience from his father's dental office and how he eventually capitulated to taking insurance in order to make ends meet. They both agreed that there are dentists out there who have chosen to forgo insurance and make a living without compromising the quality of their work. HIGHLIGHTS
