In this episode of the Insurance Untangled podcast, Naren welcomes Ben to discuss the rise of umbrella networks and network affiliations among PPOs. Ben explains that umbrella networks involve PPO plans leasing their networks to independent insurance companies, allowing providers to be in-network with multiple companies through one contract. He outlines the reasons behind this trend, including the increasing number of doctors dropping PPO networks and insurance companies' efforts to maintain in-network providers. Ben also highlights the importance of understanding contractual terms and potential impacts on fees and reimbursements for both dentists and patients.
