Anyone who has practiced dentistry – or any form of healthcare – long enough understands how important it is to make asset protection planning a priority. We live in an increasingly litigious society, and no dental practice, no matter how competent, is ever entirely immune from being sued. It is therefore vital for owner-operators of dental practices to shield themselves from losing personal and professional assets.
A dental CPA from Reliance Consulting, LLC, can help you set up your practice using a business model that will provide as much asset protection as possible, while also preserving the efficiency and top-notch dental care your patients demand.
Asset protection planning usually starts with carrying the right kind and amount of insurance. Forms of insurance a dental practice should consider carrying include:
- Professional liability
- General liability
- Vicarious liability
- Disciplinary coverage
- Licensure coverage
- Property coverage
- Much more
Before determining what insurance coverage to purchase and how else to protect your practice and yourself, asset protection planning includes titling your assets, taking depreciation into account, and establishing a shield against a wide variety of risks, including:
- Malpractice lawsuits
- Divorce
- Partner disputes
- Poor investments
- Business cycle downturns
- And more
A dental CPA from Reliance Consulting can help you position yourself in the best way possible to dissuade anyone from making claims against your assets. Ultimately, that’s what asset protection planning is about for a dental practice, or any healthcare entity. Contact Reliance today to get started.
