If insurance is just an entity taking over payment over for a policy holder, can’t all practices take all insurance? Why should it matter which entity is footing the bill? They’d be happy to charge me full price, regardless, and I’m not an entity with money. Trying to find a dentist that takes Medicaid is hellish.

Participating in insurance means that they have negotiated rates with each insurance company. Some pay better than others. Each has different requirements in order to receive payment. Its a lot of work on the provider’s part to send in the bills, review the payments to make sure everything is correct, write off any negotiated rate, and then figure out how to collect any balance from the patient
