Identify Top Codes

During your first call, we will work with you to define your top codes that you want us to focus negotiations on. We will provide a template to help guide the process, but we want to be sure that your top codes are a custom reflection of your new office, so it will be tailored specifically to your practice.

Third Party Fee Analysis

We do a third-party fee analysis to help set your fees properly and discuss this with you during our first call. We will need to submit a copy of your full fees to the insurance companies as part of the negotiations process.

Demographic Research

We'll be doing a demographic analysis of your area to pinpoint largest employers and what corresponding dental insurance companies are tied to them. What is an important insurance company to consider in one market will be different from another based on local employers. Strategic decisions need to be made to choose the best mix of participation for your specific area.

Fee Negotiations

Let the negotiations begin! We handle the back-and-forth negotiations with the insurance companies on your behalf and will present all final offers and make recommendations to you during separate individual phone meetings. For any new contracts you accept, we will handle the paperwork for you and follow up until we have all of your effective dates confirmed. We will then give you a copy of all of your effective dates before we wrap up.

Paperwork & Handoff

Copies of all final fee schedules and contracts will be placed in a permanent online account for you to access at any time. The contents of this cloud-based file will be reviewed in detail during a scheduled 1-hour Team Call that we will coordinate prior to your opening but when you have your computers in place and your Front Desk hired. We will provide you with the dates that you are eligible for renegotiations when all of your final effective dates have been confirmed.

We are project-based so we charge a flat fee and do not take a percentage of the increases we obtain for you. We typically work with a practice for about 6 months, depending on your goals, but our process and fee includes everything from beginning to end.
