Are PPO contracts creating more confusion than clarity for your practice?

In this episode of the Dental Billing Academy, Jacquelyn Hurley is joined by Dr. Iris Han of eAssist and Phylip Curtis of Unitas PPO Solutions to break down one of the most misunderstood areas of dental reimbursement: PPO participation.

Many dental practices participate with PPOs without fully understanding how their network agreements affect reimbursement, patient estimates, and collections. In this conversation, the team breaks down the differences between direct contracts, leased networks, and umbrella networks - and why those details matter more than most practices realize.

You’ll learn how participation type affects reimbursement, why negotiating without the right information can backfire, and what practices can do to approach PPO optimization more strategically.

If your practice participates with PPOs and you want greater clarity around reimbursement, fee schedules, and network participation, this episode is a must-listen.
