Contracts and Processing Policies: Impact on your Revenue [Webinar]

An important business decision any dentist makes is whether or not to sign a PPO agreement. There are many considerations a dentist should take into account before signing.

This on-demand webinar will discuss common contractual clauses within third-party payer contracts and their potential financial implications on a dental practice. These include most favored nation, affiliate carrier, recoupment clauses and more.

In addition, you will receive information on:

• Questions you may want to ask before signing an agreement
• Available ADA resources
• How to receive assistance

This webinar recording is another of the many ways we’re working to help answer our member’s most important questions on dental benefits and third party issues.
