Course Info: https://dentalsuite903.com/how-we-got-out-of-network-in-person/ Have you just about had it with being in-network with insurance? Insurance plans dictate what treatment is covered—if at all.  Insurance reimbursements are not keeping pace with inflation.  And your office wastes valuable time chasing down insurance payments. You’d like to get out “someday,” but think you “just can’t do it right now.”      Josh Bernstein, DDS and Allison Bernstein invite you to attend a very special 1-day program on March 10, 2023 at Dental Suite 903 in Oakland, California on how to finally plan your exit strategy and get out-of-network.    We will be teaching a small group of 10 dentists how we got out-of-network over 20 years ago--and how you can, too.   The course will be held in our real, working, out-of-network office, where there will be a morning lecture with step by step instructions on how to get out--while managing and minimizing the risk.    Lunch and learn is included so that all attendees can netw
