PAGD Keystone Explorer Summer 2021

Keystone Explorer | Summer 2021 9 dentistry issues Q It was late 2018… and after a long, difficult assessment of our practice I had finally made the decision that I was no longer going to participate as an in-network provider for dental insurance companies anymore. I could bore you with all the various reasons and justifications, but this decision was a personal one for myself, my family, my staff, and my practice. At the time the decision was made, our practice revenue was approximately 50% fee for service, and 50% insurance driven. How could we possibly survive cutting 50% of our revenue? Well, this is how we did it… Eric A. Fort, DMD, MAGD
