It's not that dentists don't want to pay their teams more—many simply can't. In this week's episode, Jeff explores the growing gap between rising practice expenses and stagnant insurance reimbursements, and what it means for the future of dentistry. 

The analysis is done, the sequencing is set. Now comes the part that actually determines whether this works: training your team. Jeff Blumberg closes out his three part series on going out-of-network with the scripts, the drills, and the final steps to get there.

You've done your homework on every plan in your practice. Now what? Jeff Blumberg covers how to sort plans into three buckets, sequence the drop, and adjust fees using a strategy that actually protects your hygiene revenue instead of hurting it.

The average dentist has absorbed roughly a 35 percent cumulative pay cut in purchasing power since 2019, and insurance reimbursements aren't the ones catching up. Jeff Blumberg kicks off a three part series on getting out of network, starting with the numbers behind the urgency and the first three concrete steps to take.

How good is your treatment acceptance, really, not how it feels, but the actual numbers? Jeff Blumberg breaks down exactly what to measure, what target percentage to aim for, and the most common reasons practices fall short of it.

Eighty percent of the dentists Jeff asks have never heard of a dental therapist. It is a real, licensed position already practicing in 14 states, and Jeff walks through what they can do, where this is headed, and how it could work for or against independent practices.

The average dentist took a 35% real pay cut and most don't even know it. Jeff's annual State of the Industry: the ownership crisis, the DSO stall-out, and the once-in-a-career opening for independent practices.
