Many dental practices are focused on PPO negotiations to maximize reimbursements. Yet, negotiating reimbursement rates is only part of a comprehensive PPO participation strategy. When developing an insurance participation strategy for your practice, often times it makes sense to consolidate participation. Thus, the opportunity presents itself to leave PPO plans!
