In today's fast-paced world, pursuing house-call dentistry is about more than just patient care—it's about advocacy and change. As a fee-for-service dentist, I’m often at pains to explain why I don't accept traditional dental insurance, which typically overlooks the value of home visits. This can sometimes make for difficult conversations, as people struggle to understand the true costs and the significant worth of these services. However my commitment remains to deliver care and comfort to those who cannot easily access it, and I stand by the fair pricing that reflects the quality and convenience of my practice.
Every house call is an opportunity to bring vital dental services to patients who are homebound, often dealing with complex health issues. Despite the emotional burden some conversations carry, I'm driven by the understanding that my work makes a meaningful difference in people's lives. Patients and their families realize the immense value of my services, which go beyond mere convenience—they offer security and dignity, far surpassing the additional costs they might incur otherwise.
Looking ahead, my goal is to ensure that in-home dental care becomes a standard service, readily covered by dental insurance. While current policies can be discouraging, there are moments of hope! For instance, an insurance company recently contacted me with questions about why a house-call fee was necessary, signaling a possible shift in understanding. With each patient I care for, I work towards a future where house-call dentistry is the norm, inspiring other dentists to join this transformative movement. Every visit is a step towards changing the landscape of dental care, one house call at a time.
