2 The Ascendency of Managed Group Practice

3 Ground Rules Since the future has yet to happen, many possibilities exist. This is how I see the future of dentistry: This is not the truth. Not asking you to believe me. You need to think for yourself. You are responsible. You are the chooser. Every choice has a consequence.

4 When it comes to the future, there are three kinds of people: those who let it happen, those who make it happen, and those who wonder what happened. John M. Richardson Jr. Professor of International Development American University

5 "A newspaper is better than a magazine. A seashore is a better place than a street. At first it is better to run than to walk. You may have to try several times. It takes some skill, but it is easy to learn. Even young children can enjoy it. Once successful, complications are minimal. Birds seldom get too close. Rain, however, soaks in very fast. Too many people doing the same thing can also cause problems. One needs lots of room. If there are no complications it can be very peaceful. A rock will serve as an anchor. If things break loose from it, however, you will not get a second chance.

14 90% Strictly Fee of Service Solo Practice Divisional Practices Managed Group Practices Corporate Other Forms 20% 10% Growth of Managed Group Practice to Divisional Practice was 20 to 1 (ADA and NADP)

15 STEP I LEARNING GROUP The ADA recently reported that nearly 73% of all dental patients last year had some type of 3 rd party, meaning, 73% of the available dental patient market either has insurance or is on Medicaid. Furthermore, 92% of all dentists are contracted with several major PPO plans as participating as in-network dentist. That leaves only 8% out there that are true fee for service practices. Even among the 8% fee for service, even those practices see a good majority of insured patients. The facts are clear, our society has become accustomed to purchasing dental insurance and insurance is here to stay. The American Dental Associations 2012

16 STEP Dental I LEARNING Insurance U.S. GROUP 90% PPO Insurance 74% 40% NADP

17 Only 20% of new dentists entered into some sort of dental practice ownership structure upon graduation in 2006 vs. 26% in Between 1989 and 2006 the number of dentists who work as employees has increased from 50% to 75%.
