United Concordia insurance company, ADDP Dental Network recently distinguished Dr. William Panico, DMD as a “STAR” provider, recognizing him as part of an exclusive group of providers that treats a substantial number of active duty service members while complying with the ADDP’s efficiency and quality standards.
This honor reinforces Dr. Panico as being a quality provider that is engaged with his patients, trustworthy in his recommendations and conscientious in his care. Dr. Panico’s patients truly entrust their families in his dental care, which is why his peers in the field selected him as New Jersey Top Dentist in 2013.
Choosing a healthcare provider based on choice and quality of care instead of what the insurance company dictates is a luxury in this day and age, but is not always an option. Patients should not be forced to go to only those providers in their insurance network to obtain care. The insurance companies are businesses, and their bottom line is to profit. They impose constraints on healthcare providers that often impact a patient’s care or treatment. In order to profit, insurance companies reduce the monetary reimbursements, making it hard to spend the necessary time with patients and give high quality care. The only real recourse a provider has is to not participate with those insurance companies and avoid signing contracts to be in network.
United Concordia is different and has recognized Dr. Panico and his office for providing consistent, quality dental care to its members without grievances. It is refreshing to see an insurance company that puts their patients first.
Dr. William Panico, DMD is located in Rio Grande, NJ. For more information, visit www.panicodental.com or call (609) 886-2277.
