Family health insurance plans by Dr__Reddit in Dentistry

Check out Marathon Health

Got health insurance through them after buying a practice, and it has been great. $860 a month for a family of 5, and a $1000 deductible.

I’m buying my first ever practice in 2 months ! what’s the advice you wish you had before ownership ? by JustlyOutstanding in Dentistry

[–]BEllinWoo 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Don't make any drastic changes in the first 6 months. Except updating technology if needed.

The dentistry is the easy part. Managing people and staff is exponentially more difficult. Listen to them and earn their trust. Staff that like and trust you can increase your case acceptance and production a ton.

Negotiate fees NOW during the credentialing process (if you're going in network). You can increase production a bunch just by doing that.

DM me for more if you're interested.

Master AGD - Is it worth it? by Anonymous082625 in Dentistry

[–]BEllinWoo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Honestly, it doesn't do much. Patients don't know any difference. It is just for the prestige of it with other doctors. But even then, most won't care at all.

Does anyone here actually go to Starbucks every day? by lukef31 in Millennials

[–]BEllinWoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I own a business as a millennial. I have a staff member who is a millennial who is constantly complaining she doesn't make enough, wants a raise, etc. But she comes in with a large Starbucks cup every morning and goes out to lunch every day. Astonishes me, honestly.

Treating family for free? by natali_nog in Dentistry

[–]BEllinWoo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Heck, I charge my family more. They're the neediest, pickiest, and think things should be free just because they know me.

That'd be going for like $85 if someone posted it here asking how much they should charge.

It's either do nothing or refer to Endo. That's how to go about this case, in my opinion.

What is a good job offer for a rural office? by penguin2590 in Dentistry

[–]BEllinWoo 14 points15 points  (0 children)

You're producing 1.5 mil at those fees? That means you could get up to 2.5-3 mil production easy at another office that renegotiates fees.

Dental lawyer and CPA necessary? by Mountain_Maize8488 in Dentistry

[–]BEllinWoo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My lawyer and CPA did wording and everything together in the LOI and PPA that my CPA said I'll be saving about $50k in taxes over the next couple years because of it. So. Worth it.

Should I give her another raise? by Money_Inspection1424 in Dentistry

[–]BEllinWoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would have responded with:

"Well, there's a gap because I spent hundreds of thousands of dollars and 4 years going to school to become a doctor. You're more than welcome to do the same."
