If you’re running a $3M+ dental practice, you’ve already built something extraordinary. You’ve mastered the clinical side, created a thriving business, and likely cultivated a loyal patient base.
But if you’re still operating in-network, you’ve probably felt the squeeze:
Shrinking reimbursements. Bloated admin demands. Production goals that feel increasingly unsustainable.
And maybe you’ve thought about it—dropping insurance, transitioning to fee-for-service (FFS), finally getting off the hamster wheel.
But one fear always pulls you back:
“What if I lose patients?”
At Prosperity Dental Solutions, we hear this concern all the time. And the truth is—it’s valid. Retaining patients through a major transition like going out-of-network is a real challenge. But it’s also one you can absolutely overcome—with the right plan, strategy, and leadership.
Coach Jennifer Pearce has helped countless practices successfully make the move to FFS without sacrificing their patient base—and she can help you do the same.
The Fear of Patient Loss Is Real—But Often Overstated
Let’s be honest. When your practice is grossing $3M or more annually, you’ve worked hard to build strong systems, consistent revenue, and trusted patient relationships. The idea of disrupting that success by dropping PPO plans can feel like a big gamble.
But here’s what many high-producing practice owners don’t realize:
- The patients who value your care are not there because of their insurance card.
- You already have the infrastructure and reputation to support an out-of-network transition—you just need the right roadmap.
- You don’t need all your patients to stay. You need the right patients to stay.
Going FFS doesn’t mean starting from scratch. It means redefining your patient base to align with your values, your expertise, and your profitability goals.
You’ve Outgrown the Insurance Model—Even If It Doesn’t Feel Like It Yet
When you’re running a high-production, high-efficiency practice, insurance often becomes the biggest roadblock to growth. Here’s what we hear from doctors making $3M+ a year:
- “We’re busier than ever, but profits aren’t where they should be.”
- “My team is burned out from dealing with insurance questions and pre-auths.”
- “We’re producing more every year, but I don’t feel any freer.”
That’s because insurance reimbursement caps force high-performing practices to prioritize volume over value. Your team is working harder—for less return—and it’s unsustainable.
Transitioning out-of-network is not about changing what’s working. It’s about protecting your profitability, your energy, and your patient relationships long-term.
Patient Retention Isn’t About Insurance—It’s About Communication and Experience
Here’s the truth Coach Jennifer teaches all her FFS clients: Patients don’t leave because you drop insurance. They leave because they don’t understand why you did.
Patient retention hinges on how you communicate the value of staying with your practice.
With the right strategy, you can:
- Train your team to confidently and compassionately explain the shift.
- Educate patients on their financial options and out-of-network benefits.
- Highlight what makes your care experience worth staying for—regardless of insurance.
Most importantly, a properly executed transition allows your team to refocus on the things patients actually care about: time, personalized care, and trust.

Real Talk: Some Patients Will Leave. But the Right Ones Will Stay—and Bring Others With Them.
Let’s be clear: you will lose some patients. That’s part of the process. But with the right coaching and positioning, the patients who stay will be:
- More loyal
- More trusting
- More likely to accept comprehensive, high-value treatment
- More likely to refer patients who align with your new model
You’ll shift from high-volume to high-impact—and finally have the time and space to lead the kind of practice you envisioned from the beginning.
This Isn’t About Cutting Ties—It’s About Elevating Your Practice
Going out-of-network isn’t a cost—it’s an investment. One that pays off in:
- Healthier margins
- Lower stress
- More engaged team members
- A better patient experience
- More time for growth, leadership, and yes—life outside the office
If you’ve been thinking about it, there’s a reason. And you don’t have to figure it out alone.
