These contracted rates are often lower than what the dentist would typically charge for the same procedure in a fee-for-service model.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1717\" data-end=\"1999\">While PPO participation can help attract more patients, it often results in reduced reimbursements, which can affect profitability.
