“Redefining Practice Autonomy: Keys to a Successful Out of Network Transition in Dental Practice”

Presented by Dr. Tonya Christal

 

Summary: 

So many of us spend hours negotiating with insurance companies without understanding how these plans even work. We feel increasingly held captive by the fee schedules dictated to us by our contracted relationships. We want to provide the best care possible, pay and retain our teams better, and maybe even make a profit, yet we feel overwhelmed by skyrocketing costs coupled with flattening compensation. This course will empower you to take the next steps to regain control of your fees in a way that honors your practice and the patients you serve.

LECTURE – 2 Practice Management CE Hours

Sponsored by Guia Practice Management & Frost Bank

Dinner will be provided.

Objectives

–     Understand how insurance networks work in your practice

–     Create a successful step-wise plan for unwinding your insurance participation

–     Liberate your fee schedules in a way that contributes to your practice growth and success

Dr. Tonya Christal owns a multi-location general and specialty dental practice in San Antonio. She received her undergraduate degree in Biomedical Science from Texas A&M University and completed her dental training at The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, School of Dentistry, graduating Summa Cum Laude. Their generational practice has existed for over 40 years, during which Dr. Christal and her sister, Dr. Danielle Powell, have witnessed and navigated many of the practice owners’ challenges. Over the last 10 years, they have made substantial changes to their insurance participation and networks, creating new levels of opportunity for themselves and the associates who work with them. Dr. Christal has taken a 4-location practice that once had a patient base that was 50% HMO to a practice that is primarily fee-for-service (FFS) and Out of Network.
