[heading] Doctor My Eyes! (Are You In Network?) [/heading][divider line_type="Full Width Line" line_thickness="3" divider_color="accent-color" custom_height="50"] Getting an “in network” patient to come to your practice can be really difficult if you don’t participate with their insurance, but it can be done! On this week’s episode of The Dental Practice Fixers we’ll hear a personal story from Dr. Rich, telling of his adventures as an out-of-network patient! And it’s probably not what you think! The “secret shopper calls” continue with the same theme as we ask “Can anyone get this right??” You gotta hear them! If you have a question that you would like answered on our podcast, or if you would like us to call YOUR office, please email us at [email protected]. You might be the office that gets it right!
