How Much the Doc Charges

[rkm rdt]

We're seeing similar professional management companies buying up retiring practices.
These groups are delaying if not avoiding payment to the labs.

I had one snot nosed manager tell me to f off because I asked for a late payment.

When it comes to Canada, dentistry/ labs and the whole procedure are more advance unfortunately than the U.S

Depends on which side of the border you are on

Did you visit them with a hockey stick?

Did they make the payment? Our clients get 30 days but we still get those who take the piss and say they only pay after 60 days. One has just paid his statement from July yeaterday. fortunately the vast majority are pretty good.

Define 'advanced dentistry' .. would that be the guy that glued someone elses dead tooth in a woman? Higher fees have nothing at all to do with level of quality care.

Forget what the average fee for a crown is. It doesn't make any sense to measure to an arbitrary number.

This is what causes the race to the bottom. Each year the average drops because everyone wants to come in slightly under it.

In my area drs would estimate lab fees at 60% of their fee ( for insurance).

That means if they charge $600 for a crown then the lab fee should be under or around $360.

I've said it many times on here that lab fees should always be separate from the drs fees as it is here in Canada.

That is your solution to the problem.

"" lab fees should always be separate from the drs fees ""
You mean labs don't get their fees from the dentists ?
whom do they charge ?

The lab fee is a separate amount paid by the patient to the dentist.

The dentist then pays the lab that amount. This is designed to prevent a conflict of interest.

The patient thus benefits from any discounts or rebates ,not the dentist.

In fact the patient ( without insurance) could choose to pay the lab directly however that rarely happens.

The new generation of practice managers are grinding techs down, and cant last forever. I now just get agencies to collect with penalties, or go for court judgements. Stopped pu55y-footing around and being downtrodden.

That's great, I was worried it would go over your head.

The lab bill to insurance is separate from the dentist's bill.

Sweet . Do you then sell to the insurance companies ? Say have your lab being the preferred lab of choice for the dentist ?
If so , huge opportunities there .

It depends upon different doctors as to how much they charge. The charges also vary from different region. The doctors are charging depending on the qualification and qualities they have. Also while doing the dental work the amount of work and related material needed is also considered. http://www.daltechsystems.com/
