Should I use insurance indemnity documents to charge full fees?
If you are treating a patient who is technically under an insurance contract but you are doing the case outside that contract, you need the right paperwork to do it cleanly. That usually means an indemnity document or a HIPAA patient release, depending on the situation. These are what let you collect your full fee on a major case instead of being squeezed into a contracted rate. This is not a place to wing it. The documents have to fit your state and your contracts, so get properly drafted versions or have an attorney prepare them. The principle is simple: do not let an insurance arrangement quietly dictate what your serious implant work is worth. Set up the paperwork once and stop leaving fees on the table on every big case after that.
