Breaking Up with Dental Insurance? Here’s the Letter That Keeps Patients Loyal and Revenue Flowing

Letter to patient regarding insurance termination. So you’ve finally done it.

You dumped that shady PPO plan that was ghosting your reimbursements, slashing your fees, and treating your team like a call center from the ’90s.

Now comes the scary part: telling your patients.

Crafting a letter to patient regarding insurance termination might sound like dental suicide—but if you play it right, it can be your GREATEST growth move yet.

What if I told you that with the right message (and the right membership strategy), you could turn this breakup letter into your most profitable marketing asset?

Yeah, we’re going full-on breakup-to-glow-up mode. Let’s do it.

Let’s be clear: you’re not just canceling insurance contracts — you’re canceling insanity.

No more:

  • 40% write-offs

  • 45-minute insurance hold times

  • Zero treatment acceptance because “insurance doesn’t cover it”

But to patients, insurance = safety. So, how you deliver the news? That’s everything.


The Story: Dr. Max Broke Up with PPOs and Gained $225K in Recurring Revenue

Meet Dr. Max, a scrappy dentist from Denver who was DONE with PPO drama.

He was losing $18K/month in write-offs and couldn’t even hire another hygienist because of how thin the margins were.

So, he wrote a bold, honest letter to his patients explaining why he was leaving insurance — and what he was offering instead: a simple, affordable membership plan via BoomCloud™.

And guess what?

12 Months Later:

  • 622 active members

  • $23,596 MRR

  • $283,152 ARR

  • 87% of departing PPO patients STAYED

  • Members spent 3.5X more than non-members

Insurance didn’t build his practice. Trust and loyalty did.


It’s Not About Coverage — It’s About Care and Connection

Dr. Max’s “aha” moment came when a long-time patient said:

“Honestly, I’d rather keep seeing you than mess with some random dentist on my insurance list.”

Boom.

That’s the Epiphany Bridge.

He realized that patients value relationships, not insurance.

So he doubled down on connection, transparency, and value. That letter wasn’t just a formality — it was a rebrand.


Sample Letter to Patient Regarding Insurance Termination (That Actually Works)

Subject: Important Update About Your Dental Coverage — But Don’t Panic

Dear [Patient Name],

We want to thank you for trusting us with your dental care. That means everything to us. ❤️

Starting [Date], we will no longer be in-network with [Insurance Company]. This decision didn’t come lightly. After years of fighting red tape and declining reimbursements, we realized it was affecting our ability to give you the time, care, and quality you deserve.

BUT — we’ve got good news.

We’ve created an in-house Membership Plan that makes your care simple, affordable, and insurance-free.

For just $[XX]/month, you’ll get:

  • 2 cleanings per year

  • 1 emergency exam

  • 15–20% off ALL other treatment

  • Transparent pricing, no deductibles, no surprises

Plus, our members spend less than those with traditional insurance — and get better care.

We’d love to have you join the plan. Visit [YourMembershipURL.com] or call us at (555) 123-4567 to sign up in 3 minutes or less.

We’re still here. Still your dental family. Just no longer tied to insurance BS.

With gratitude,
Dr. Max & the Smile Squad
