I say preacher you got great Ameritas Dental insurance now you know it's so good I'm not going to I'm not going to require you to pay a copay or deductible preacher he says oh great now what's wrong with that turns out every state has laws against copay forgiveness your every PPO contract says you can't do copay.
forgiveness ad a code of Ameritas Dental ethics to remember the ADEA and abiding by the ethics you're not supposed to do copay forgiveness the federal plan say you can't do it either but and again we're not lawyers here everybody might do a little bit of it and if you did a little bit of it four or five times a year again.
I'm not advocating that but if you did be sure that on the claim form that you put that the patient is not participating in the cost of care at least alert the PPO or the our regular insurance doesn't matter if it's PPO or if I'm out of network I'm going to put on .
there that the patient's not Ameritas Dental participating in the cost of care and so just be sure that you do that so that copay forgiveness is another animal there that really needs a lot of caution some other things patient.
gifting for referral staff gifting for referrals some states it's wide open other states it's illegal for instance in New York in North Carolina we can't give a patient gift such as a I pant drawing if you refer somebody I'll give you free
