The Problem
| • |
Providers are limited in their treatment choices by insurance protocol insensitive to patient needs.
|
| • |
As reimbursements decrease, providers must perform more procedures in the same amount of time, or absorb a loss in revenue.
|
| • |
Providers are forced to bill their patient the difference between the reimbursement rate and their reasonable fee, placing a burden on the patient/provider relationship.
|
| • |
Dental claims are denied, or unreasonably delayed in an effort to maximize the insurers profits.
|
| • |
Providers spend valuable time negotiating with dental insurers to justify their decisions. |
