In this episode, host Bill Schulz is joined by Colorado dental broker Marie Chatterley for an inside look at the growing trend of practices moving away from insurance participation. Marie shares real-world stories of dentists who have strategically transitioned to fee-for-service models, often doubling their net income while gaining greater control over how they practice. Together, Bill and Marie break down why insurance is more of a limited benefit program than true coverage, how to plan and communicate with patients during the shift, and why autonomy and fair compensation lead to a stronger business and a more fulfilling career in dentistry.
