Why privately owned practices hire
Unlock the PPO
Every client has a unique situation. From the start, we work to understand your practice, your location, your goals, and your timeline. Your clients have names, faces, and voices. We advocate and negotiate for people, never just for numbers.

Participation crafted around your goals
For some offices, it’s time to add insurance to fuel growth. For others, it’s time to reduce PPO participation in a practice that feels too busy and out of control. Or participation is already balanced, and it’s time to get paid more for the work you’re doing. Shared network agreements add confusion for most offices, and understanding that piece matters. Every practice is different. We learn what’s important to you and craft your insurance participation to reflect your goals.

No hidden partners or corporate backing
Unlock the PPO was founded in 2010 and has stayed privately owned. There are no hidden partners, corporate backing, or paid spokespersons. We work exclusively with privately owned practices, so the work stays aimed at owner-operated offices.

Clear recommendations, explained on personal calls

A dedicated consultant who stays with you
You’ll have a dedicated consultant who understands your goals and works with you through the project. Our staff averages almost 10 years with the company. We take a limited number of new clients each month so that care stays intact. Your consultant also leaves you with tools and resources so contracting stays manageable after the engagement ends.
