In a world where insurance continues to find new ways to pay less, it is incredibly frustrating when the dentist and team are somehow the ones to blame. In this episode, Bethany and Dr. Kuba discuss what is becoming a chronically reoccurring problem – patients angry at the dentist when insurance fails to hold up their end of the deal. Bethany has witnessed four angry patients in the past two weeks all with very similar resounding complaints or protests, “I’ve never had to pay this before,” or “I refuse to pay this,” or “The doctor wasn’t in the room long enough for me to be charged this amount.” In all of these complaints, services were rendered and many of those services are the same price they were last year. So, what has changed? Insurance. Insurance pays less and leaves the patient (and the practice) with an unexpected balance. Instead of the patient becoming angry with insurance, they turn their anger to the dentist. Somehow, he or she is in the wrong. Listen closely to this episode to find some strategies to equip your team with the confidence, knowledge, and verbiage they need to tackle these patient complaints.
