Becoming a Cash Practice--Dr. Erin Ducat

Whether you are starting anew or looking to transform your insurance-based practice to a cash practice, Dr. Erin Ducat helps guide you in that process. 

In this episode Dr. Ducat discusses how she transformed her practice from an in-network provider to a cash-based practice and maintained a healthy practice with even healthier profit margins. 

There are many variables to take into consideration when deciding to become a cash practice and we do our best to tease those out in this 45-minute discussion. 

Some of the topics we discuss, but not limited to: 

  • What exactly does it mean to be a cash practice?

  • How to start a new practice as a cash practice.

  • How to transition from insurance-based to cash.

  • When it may not be a good idea to leave insurance.

  • How to inform you patients that you are leaving their insurance plan

  • How to communicate when patients ask if you accept their insurance.

  • Much more!

I know many of you are either considering the idea or have made the leap of faith, and Dr. Ducat is here to help guide you on this journey.
