PPOs Are Eating Your Profit—Here’s How to Fire Them

its 2025, time to reduce dependence on PPOs!

If PPOs were an employee, you’d have fired them YEARS ago.
✅ They slash your fees
✅ Take weeks (or months) to pay
✅ Deny claims like it’s their full-time job

And yet, so many practices still rely on PPOs like they’re oxygen.

Reality check: You don’t need more PPOs.
You need more predictable revenue, more loyal patients, and more freedom.

✅ That’s what happens when you reduce dependence on PPOs and launch your own membership program.

Let’s break down exactly how to do it—using BoomCloud™, direct response marketing, and real-world numbers.


Story: How Dr. Morgan Fired Her 3 Worst PPOs and Doubled Her Revenue

Dr. Morgan had a bustling office—but a bank account that said otherwise.
She was writing off over $40,000/month in PPO discounts ‍
She knew her fees were fair, but the contracts were strangling her margins.

Then she made a bold move:
✅ She created a membership plan with BoomCloud™
✅ Dropped her 3 lowest-paying PPOs
✅ Offered membership to every uninsured AND PPO patient

9 months later:

  • 1,200 members

  • MRR = $38,000/month

  • ARR = $456,000

  • Revenue per patient = 4.1X higher for members vs. PPOs

  • Team = Less stressed

  • Dr. Morgan = Way richer


Step-by-Step Blueprint to Reduce Dependence on PPOs

Let’s break it down like a boss:


✅ 1. Launch a Membership Plan That Competes with Insurance (and Wins)

Example Offer:
“Join our Smile Club for $35/month: Cleanings, exams, X-rays + 30% off treatment. No deductibles. No claims. No B.S.”

Use BoomCloud™ to:
✔️ Create multiple membership tiers (basic, cosmetic, perio)
✔️ Automate billing and renewals
✔️ Track MRR, ARR, and revenue per patient

Why it works:
✔️ You get paid directly
✔️ Patients love it because it’s SIMPLE
✔️ Reduces your dependency on insurance-based revenue

✅ 2. Identify and Cut the Worst PPOs First

Pull a 12-month report:

  • Revenue per PPO

  • Number of patients

  • Write-offs per contract

FIRE the ones with the lowest return first.

Then offer EVERY one of those patients a better alternative: ✅ Your in-house membership plan.

Script for your front desk:
“Hey Jim, instead of losing coverage, you can join our Smile Club for $35/month. You’ll save 20–30% on treatment, and there are no claim headaches!”


✅ 3. Use Marketing to Attract Better, Cash-Friendly Patients

The best patients don’t ask, “Do you take my insurance?”
They ask, “Can I get in this week?”

Your marketing funnel should include:

  • SEO-optimized landing pages for your membership plan

  • Google PPC ads targeting “no insurance dentist [City]”

  • Facebook/Instagram ads with a compelling offer

  • Retargeting ads to re-engage site visitors

CTA Example: “Join our Smile Club – 2 cleanings, exams, X-rays + discounts for only $35/month!”

Use BoomCloud™ to track signups from every ad.

✅ 4. Track the Right Metrics

❌ Stop focusing on new patient count and production.
✅ Start tracking these instead:

MRR – Monthly Recurring Revenue
= Members × Monthly Fee
Example: 900 members × $40 = $36,000/month

ARR – Annual Recurring Revenue
= MRR × 12
$36,000 × 12 = $432,000/year

RPP – Revenue Per Patient
= Total revenue ÷ number of active patients
BoomCloud™ users: $1,500–$2,000
PPO patients: $500–$800

Let BoomCloud™ track it for you BoomCloudApps.com + get featured on thepatientmarketplace.com & get more membership patients.


Your Practice, Your Rules

Dr. Morgan used to feel stuck in the PPO rat race.
Every new patient brought in $99 cleanings, denied claims, and tiny margins.

Then she launched her plan.
✅ Revenue grew
✅ Stress dropped
✅ Patients stuck around longer
✅ Her practice valuation soared

And now?
She’s building an empire—without insurance companies telling her how to run her business.


Final Thoughts: PPOs Aren’t Your Friends—Memberships Are

Want to stop feeling like you work for insurance companies?
Want more control, more profit, and more peace of mind?

Here’s what to do: ✅ Build a recurring revenue engine with a membership plan
✅ Cut the worst PPOs
✅ Attract better patients with smart marketing
✅ Track MRR, ARR, and RPP like a real business owner
