Unbundling is a Good Thing

The My Practice My Business Dental Podcast

Bundling is defined by the ADA as "The systematic combining of distinct dental procedures by third-party payers that results in a reduced benefit for the patient/beneficiary."

When Tracy and I met with the ADA last June, we pointed out how the ADA needs to quickly define the term “unbundling” because the dental insurance companies have been defining it in ways that benefit them. Tracy wrote out the definition for the ADA to use, and this definition is a big deal for all of us on PPO plans. The ADA executive was surprised the ADA had not defined it, and hopefully they will soon.
