About Us As a dentist, whether you are starting a new dental practice organization, buying an existing dental practice or merging with another dental practice, a new TAX ID will be given to the dental practice thus it becomes a brand new business. Starting a brand new business isn’t the same as running a routine dental practice. Dentists were taught how to practice dentistry in school and not how to run and own a business. 80% of new graduates become practice owners within 5 years of graduating, however, they know little or nothing about running a business or navigating the insurance industry. During the process of acquiring a new dental practice, brokers help the dentists to gather high-level information which is useful in closing the deal. But after closing the deal, the dentists have no one to help them. They usually have office managers and insurance coordinators; however, these people already have a full-time job and in most cases have never had the experience of starting a new company. Once the company is up and running there are thousands of consultants that could help them, but no one is helping them from the contract to the point of running smoothly. No one is ready to help fill the gap from the point where the deal is closed to the point where the business starts running smoothly. This is where Transition Acceleration Group (TAG) comes in. Any practice that: ▪ Spends too much time or not enough time on the business mechanics, ▪ Is not strategic about what insurance plans they offered, ▪ Is not marketing to the existing patients that already know and love the practice ▪ Lacks business training ▪ Has improper trained front office staff Is most likely going to see a huge drop in production or risk business failure. 2

• Why can’t my office manager do these things?Most office managers are already performing a full-time job at the practice. Giving themadditional tasks will take away from their daily job. Most office managers have neverstarted a business or transitioned a business, so they do not have the knowledge or skillsto perform the task.• Can’t my insurance coordinator get me credentials?Some insurance coordinators will know how to complete the paperwork, however,insurance companies are getting very savvy with putting multiple contracts for HMO, PPOand other lower paying plans within the same contract. In most cases, your insurancecoordinator would not have the knowledge on how to direct you to sign up for the correctplans. Most insurance coordinators are very good at sending claims and troubleshootingwhy a claim was not paid, but again, they have never started a company and do not havethe experience.• Is TAG a consulting company?No. Consultants typically evaluate or analyze your practice and create a list of objectivesthat you need to implement. They do not do any of the work.We are outside experts that do the work, as well as provide training on what needs or canbe done in the future. We are dental practice transition specialist.• How is TAG different from other dental consulting companies?We deliver results, not recommendations!With a few Internet searches, anyone can find all the advice and recommendations forjust about any issue. What's missing is the skills and expertise to execute.We offer the skills and expertise to do all the work necessary and partner with thepractice in assisting them with learning the details on managing the information movingforward.www.transitionaccelerationgroup.com 7
