1. What is the DISAPPEAR Program?
Ever received an unwarranted demand for a refund? The DISAPPEAR program is a free value-added service to help those dentists who are not reimbursed by third party insurance deal effectively with those patients who either unjustly demand their money back or additional services at no charge. Through this service to members, Dental Justice provides an assertive way to say “No” while keeping a positive “face” on an admittedly delicate situation.

2. What is the Web Anti-Defamation Program?
Ever "Googled" your name or visited one of the 40+ doctor rating sites? The Dental Justice™ system uses patient-friendly language to be used in templates with patients to prevent broadcast of defamatory information before it happens. Further, if it does, the dentist will have the appropriate tools in place to take effective action against Internet libel. This prevention program is a member benefit and is provided at no extra cost.

3. How does your program work with my existing malpractice insurance?
Typical malpractice policies pay for defense against a suit and payment of a settlement / judgment up to specific monetary limits. The structure of the liability system and the financial incentives to carriers often puts pressure on dentists to settle a “nuisance” claim to avoid additional legal bills and the risk of losing in court. Whereas malpractice policies generally do little to prevent or deter a lawsuit, Dental Justice emphasizes a proactive approach that is designed to deter a meritless lawsuit from being filed in the first place. A hidden component of this benefit is the company’s patented preemptive strategy, which sets the stage for success long before a frivolous suit is filed. The Dental Justice™ system is the only service designed to deter frivolous claims and enable viable responsive remedies against their proponents. The Dental Justice™ system has demonstrated ability to take action against all proponents of frivolous lawsuits. Every day, Dental Justice proves the adage that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Our goal is to complement the work of your insurer’s legal and claims teams, rather than work at cross-purposes to them. Your primary defense counsel remains “captain of the ship” until the underlying case is resolved. Because we understand the role and value of your carrier and your defense attorney, Dental Justice enjoys strong support from both entities.

4. What is your “PEER” program?
PEER stands for “Physician Enlisted-Expert Rebuttal”. The program works to match one or more volunteer experts in your specialty to assist your defense in deposition or court should you be sued. On the witness stand, the volunteer will be able to state honestly that he is not being paid anything for his time. Juries are generally accustomed to hearing the exact opposite; namely, that the experts are being paid $5,000, $10,000, or even more just to spend the day in court. Right or wrong, at those rates, juries may conclude that testimony is bought and paid for. The PEER program provides a differentiating alternative. This is a Dental Justice member benefit and is provided at no extra cost.
