The current system suppresses claims. Patients, Dentists and Employers all lose. This is Part II of Gary’s interview with Qadeer Ahmed all about how we are about to enter a new Golden Age of Dentistry. Qadeer brings a deep background in business to the dental profession and he decided to look at the dentistry from a ‘clean slate model’. In doing so, he came up with a five-part plan that will significantly benefit Dentists.
Here are those 5 elements;
1) A coverage plan that actually benefits Patients, Dentists and Employers
2) Co-Management of complex cases
3) Profit Velocity and Quality
4) Capital Equipment available on a cost-per-use basis, and
5) Equity Conversion; The ability to convert equity in your practice to cash.
We truly are about to enter a new Golden Age of Dentistry and this interview will provide you with new ways of thinking about our amazing profession!
