facts about this decision:
This decision was HARD!!
Our patients mean everything to us!
Ameritas requires us to write off up to 40% of our fees
This is significantly more than the other insurance companies that we are associated with. It is also more than dentists who practice in Lincoln & Omaha have to write off
Our overhead runs in the 65% range
This means that the math doesn't add up. We are actually losing money on some of the procedures that we do when in-network with Ameritas.
We asked Ameritas to negotiate with us
We reached out twice to ask them to meet us half way.
Ameritas said NO.
Despite the rise in costs to everyone, due to inflation, they refused to negotiate with us at all.
They made our decision very easy from a business standpoint.
Ameritas is a large insurance company running a business. We do not fault them, they are simply doing the best for their business. Unfortunately, that means they don’t need our small dental practice in order for their business to work, so they don’t have any skin in the game.
