Hi all,
Our local ( Washington State) largest Dental insurance cut down the allowed amounts dentists can charge by 15%. The Dentists are not happy and try do negociate with the labs to lower the prices. I got several calls from Dentist who shop around for cheaper labs.
The dentists really pushing it and now some of the local labs offer china work. They pick up, deliver and take care of any changes that has to be made and any problems will be dealt here in town. Other labs are freaking out and reducing their prices. I just got a flyer that our lagest lab in the area cut down Emax by $35 to $169.
I don't think reducing the prices is the right way to go even when I am a rather expensive lab, because it will take me years to catch up again. So far I have not lost someone.
Did any of you guys in other states had to deal with insurance cuts and how did you deal with that? Did the market recover from that?
