Why Strategic Growth is So Powerful?
Manage episode 440758013 series 3560564
In this Episode of the Less Insurance Dependence Podcast, Gary Takacs and Naren Arulrajah emphasize the importance of strategic growth for dental practices, especially those looking to reduce their reliance on PPO plans. The hosts stress that strategic growth is vital for any dental practice, as staying stagnant is not an option due to inflation and rising costs. Intentional growth ensures that a practice’s income and value continue to rise over time.
The episode highlights several methods to achieve strategic growth. One primary strategy is resigning from PPO plans, which allows practices to retain 45-50% more of their fees, even if some patients are lost in the process. Another effective approach is adding high-value services such as implants, adult orthodontics, and cosmetic dentistry, which can significantly increase revenue. For practices with sufficient demand, expanding the team by hiring an associate can also promote growth, provided it is carefully planned to support both the owner and the new associate.
