Participating in PPO's

Have you been participating in a PPO for a while and questioning if you should continue?

A fourth consideration is that if you’re in several plans, evaluate them as a group as to value. Then examine the number of patients from each one. You may want to eliminate them one by one and let your practice catch up.

For example, a plan may have a high benefit for crowns, but a very low one for exams and radiographs. Are you aware of the frequency differential between these services?

An average office statistically performs 7 times the number of recall exams as crowns. What would you like the higher relative benefit for: exams or crowns?

If you have difficulty evaluating this dimensional relationship, The Huskin Group is capable of helping you rank plans according to benefit payments based on procedure frequency. We can be reached at any of the emails listed below.
