We combine elite PPO restructuring, practice transition strategy, and data-driven legal/compliance support to redesign your revenue cycle, reduce PPO dependency, and stabilize your business model — often unlocking hundreds of thousands in additional collections without adding new patients.

-
Largest private reimbursement dataset in dentistry, built from real EOBs — not surveys or carrier “estimates.”
-
End-to-end support — from pre-engagement analysis through restructuring, training, and long-term ACCESS monitoring, so the gains stick.
-
Independent and carrier-unaffiliated — no NDAs with payers and no conflicts of interest. Our duty is to your practice, not to an association badge.
We’re Not Just “PPO Negotiators.” We’re Your Dental Benefit & Transition Partner.
Most firms stop at “we negotiate your fees.” That’s one piece of what we do—but it’s not the whole picture.
Solutions 101 was built to manage your entire dental benefit ecosystem: how you get paid today, how you transition contracts, how you deal with onboarding associates and ownership changes, and how your reimbursement architecture supports the long-term value of your practice or group.
Solutions-101 is 100% independent — no NDAs with carriers, no back-door deals. We only get paid by practices and groups, never by carriers or vendor clubs. Instead, we’ve built the largest privately-held EOB database in dentistry, with over 100 million data points tied to real claims, real patients, and real reimbursements.
Behind the scenes, all of this is delivered through six defined service tiers — ENGAGE, ALIGN, ACCESS, COMPASS, Transitions, and DSOs / Groups — so every practice, buyer, seller, or group lands in the right service for their situation and growth stage.
That means we don’t “guess” what’s possible. We know how carriers are actually paying doctors like you in your city, your state, and your saturation zone — and we use that leverage for:
-
PPO Restructuring & Revenue Architecture
Flagship projects that map every payer, lease connection, and fee schedule in your ecosystem, then sequence negotiations, terminations, and restructures so you move off low-paying contracts and into higher-yield positions—without blowing up your schedule. -
Data-Driven Revenue Audits & Strategy
Deep dive into your EOBs and reports against our reimbursement database to forecast ROI, identify silent PPOs, and show exactly where underpayments and bad contracts are hiding. -
Ongoing Monitoring & Compliance Enforcement
EOB enforcement, lease-network monitoring, and “carrier creep” surveillance to make sure the math you were promised is the math you’re actually getting—month after month. -
Transitions: Buy, Sell, and Post-Acquisition Stabilization
Pre-sale reimbursement valuations, buyer-side contract due diligence, Premier-only preservation, new-owner credentialing, and 30–120-day post-close recovery plans so the payer architecture survives the ownership change instead of collapsing after closing. -
Strategic Business Navigation
Advisory support when the real problem isn’t just PPOs — it’s operations and strategy. We help you align associate comp, scheduling, benefit communication, and business model decisions with your payer reality. -
DSO & Group Architecture
Enterprise-level strategy for groups that need unified fee schedules, centralized credentialing, and multi-location rollout plans—not a different story and deal at every office.
Short version: if it touches payer contracts, reimbursements, or the value of your practice, it lives on our side of the fence.
Who We're Built For
We work best with owners and leaders who are serious about the numbers:
-
Solo and group practices that have outgrown “DIY PPO management” companies
-
Buyers who don’t want to inherit a broken payer mix
-
Sellers who want maximum value at exit, not just a production story
-
DSOs and emerging groups that need repeatable, defensible reimbursement architecture across locations
If that’s you, we’ll get along just fine.
Everything You Need to Fix the PPO and Payer Problem — Under One Roof
Revenue & Network Strategy
We map every payer, network lease, and fee schedule in your ecosystem, then design a staged roadmap to move you off low-paying contracts and into higher-yield positions — without blowing up your schedule.
On-Site & Virtual Training
We don’t hand you a spreadsheet and disappear. We come to your practice (and work virtually), train your front office and clinical team, and walk them through exactly how to talk to patients, verify benefits, and collect accurately.
Patient Communication
Custom letters, emails, and talk-tracks built around your actual plan mix. Our clients routinely keep 90%+ of patients when transitioning networks because the messaging is honest, math-based, and easy for your team to deliver.
Compliance & Reimbursement Enforcement
Our compliance team monitors your EOBs to make sure carriers are paying to the contract. When they don’t, we escalate — and we keep pushing until you’re paid what you’re owed.
Credentialing & Re-Credentialing
We handle the maze of credentialing, re-credentialing, and network changes so you don’t lose revenue or access due to missed deadlines or paperwork errors.
Ongoing Monitoring (Optional S101Access)
After your initial project is complete and stabilized, some practices choose to add S101Access as an ongoing guardrail. It’s optional — a way to keep an expert eye on reimbursements, prevent carrier creep, and protect the gains we’ve already unlocked.
A Team You Won’t Find at Typical “PPO Shops”
You’re not hiring a generic consultant. You’re hiring a team that lives at the intersection of dental economics, legal contracts, and real-world transitions. Every project is backed by a guarantee and credentials that most firms simply don’t have.
-
Chief Transitions Officer (CTO) — 30+ Years in the Dental Industry
Leads all buy/sell and transition-related strategy. Brings more than three decades of dental industry experience across practice ownership, brokerage, including access to in-house licensed real estate agents, and payer relationships to make sure your contracts, reimbursements, and patient base survive any ownership change. -
In-House Licensed Attorney (JD)
Reviews and interprets payer contracts, addenda, and “creative” network language so you aren’t signing away profit or leverage in the fine print. When we say a move is compliant and defensible, it’s because the compliance department and legal have already been through it. -
Chief Data Officer (PhD)
Oversees our data processing team and our reimbursement database and analytics engine—over tens of millions of EOB data points tied to real claims, real patients, and real reimbursements. This is the person making sure your strategy is built on math, not marketing. -
On-Site Training & Communication Leads
Specialists who live in the front office trenches—training teams on patient communication, scheduling, verification, and collections so the plan doesn’t just live in a spreadsheet; it works in real life.
When you work with Solutions-101, you’re not just getting better PPO fees. You’re getting a transition-ready, valuation-aware, legally reviewed payer strategy that supports the practice you run today and the exit you’ll want tomorrow.
How We Work with Your Practice(s)
Step 1 – Free Intake & Assessment Call
We start with a no-obligation call to understand your current payer mix, pain points, and goals. We’ll review your situation at a high level and outline whether a full assessment or targeted project (like a transition or specific carrier) makes sense.
Step 2 – Data Collection & Deep Dive
If we move forward, we will request the intake documents: EOBs, fee schedules, reports, and key practice metrics. Our team runs your data through our reimbursement engine and compares it to our database to identify recoverable revenue, bad contracts, and transition risks.
Step 3 – Strategy Design & Financial Modeling
We present a clear, math-backed strategy: which contracts to keep, renegotiate, or terminate; how to manage transitions; what patient impact to expect; and how the numbers are projected to change over the next several months. You see the financial and operational impact before you say yes.
Step 4 – Implementation, Transitions & Training
Once the strategy is approved, we execute. Our team handles the heavy lifting on negotiations, network restructuring, terminations, and transitions—whether you’re staying put, adding an associate, buying, or preparing to sell. We also equip your front office and clinical team with the exact language and workflows they need for patient communication, scheduling, and collections so the plan doesn’t just live in a spreadsheet; it works in real life.
