The Cost of Care vs. The Cost to Doctors—Dr. Scott’s Story

Known for his viral "Daisy Dukes dentist" video, Gary Scott has publicly shared some pretty strong opinions on dental insurance companies. As reimbursements continued to drop for dental offices, some dentists—including Gary—have decided to crawl out from being under the suffocating thumb of dental insurance providers and have come out on the other side.

In this episode, Gary and I talk about what his transition away from accepting dental insurance looked like and how he communicated the change with his patients. We also discuss the challenges on the business side that have ravaged independent dental providers over the last several years (including the rising presence of Dental Service Organizations (DSOs)), and striking the balance between ethical practice and the financial realities of being a businessowner.
