[QUOTE="bigj1972, post: 346012, member: 811"] A couple of things dentists might not be considering in this dynamic. 1) The lab is not your employee, it is an independent business that's provides a service for a fee. Your financial difficulties do not influence it's operation. If you need to save money because of the contracts you entered into with insurance, you have the option of buying your own equipment, and staying over after hours or weekends and do your own lab work. Our position is not to make you profit, but to provide a service for you to resell. 2) There are over 200,000 licensed dentists in the US, and probably 6, 500 labs left after the pandemic began. It is not the Lab that is competing for your business, It is dentists who are competing to stay in a great Lab. If the cost of Lab fees are too high for you to be profitable, you should look inward at your own finances. Your lab fees are probably on the lower end of your costs. It is possible you may be unable to sell product X if your overhead is too much of a drain. You may even have to let someone go to offset the cost. [/QUOTE]
