If you’ve noticed a recent dip in treatment acceptance, you aren’t alone. A large number of practices across the nation are seeing what feels like a sudden drop in treatment acceptance. In this episode, Dr. Kuba and Bethany discuss the WHY behind this drop. They also discuss that due to current economic factors, this current trend isn’t just a little blip that will be here today and gone tomorrow. In fact, Bethany predicts that we might continue to struggle with treatment acceptance for the next 18-24 months. Yikes! After discussing the problem, Dr. Kuba and Bethany turn their attention to solving the problem. They discuss four main categories – financial barriers, ease of scheduling, insurance, and follow-up efforts. Because this is an extremely dense topic, this first episode serves as the foundation for two additional episodes that provide practical takeaways.
