In dentistry today, PPOs are not your friend, they hurt your cash flow, demolish your profit margins, jeopardize your patient relationships & use A.I. to deny claims!!

You in?

Hey dentist! If D0120 sounds familiar (spoiler: it should), then congrats — you’ve found the gold vein in your practice you’re probably not mining properly.

In plain English:
D0120 = Periodic Oral Evaluation = the fancy code for your bread-and-butter routine checkup.

It’s the spark plug for nearly every cleaning, crown, filling, or Invisalign case you’ll EVER diagnose.

But here’s the kicker: insurance companies reimburse D0120 like it’s worth a stale bagel and a polite thank you.

So, how do you make D0120 actually work for you?

Answer: Wrap that baby in a membership plan and watch your Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR) turn into a steady waterfall of cash.

Stick around — I’ll show you EXACTLY how.


Meet Dr. Ben

Small-town practice. Big dreams. Killer playlists in the operatory (90s hip-hop, thank you very much).

For years, D0120 felt like a joke to him:

  • $38 from insurance

  • 45 days to get paid (maybe)

  • Patients ghosted on checkups because “insurance won’t cover another one yet.”

Translation: wasted time, lost revenue, empty chairs.

Then Dr. Ben discovered BoomCloud™ and a radical idea:
What if I stop letting insurance dictate when patients come in, and start charging THEM directly through a simple membership plan that covers D0120 (and more)?

Within 10 months:
✅ 380 active members
✅ $15,200 in Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR)
✅ $182,400 in locked Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR)
✅ Patients showed up like clockwork, paid upfront, and said YES to treatment 2X more often.

D0120 went from a penny-ante insurance write-off to a patient loyalty magnet that funded Dr. Ben’s new CBCT scanner and a family vacation to Maui. ️


Now it’s YOUR turn.

Take your routine D0120.
Build it into a killer membership plan.
Let BoomCloud™ handle the automation, billing, renewals, and reminders.

Result?
✅ Predictable MRR
✅ Happier patients
✅ Less dependence on tightwad insurance companies.


Russell Brunson would say: Sell certainty, not confusion.

Guess what D0120 is? A big ol’ pile of confusion for patients:
“How often is it covered?”
“Do I have to wait six months?”
“Is it free?”

They hate that game.

But a membership plan?
✅ One flat fee.
✅ Two D0120 checkups a year.
✅ Cleanings, X-rays, perks — all covered.

They show up. They spend more. They refer friends. YOU control the schedule and the revenue.

It’s the Dan Kennedy dream: predictable cash flow, fewer excuses.


Real Numbers That Should Wake You Up:

Membership patients spend 2X–4X more per year than uninsured patients.

BoomCloud™ practices reduce insurance dependency by up to 60%.

Practices with 300+ members easily hit $10k–$20k in MRR.

Patients stick around 80% longer than pay-per-visit patients.

Your D0120 is your gateway to this.


Dr. Ben’s D0120 Master Plan:

Before:

  • $42 insurance reimbursement for D0120.

  • 30% hygiene no-show rate.

  • Treatment acceptance under 50%.

After:

  • D0120 included in Smile Club plan.

  • 92% hygiene show-up rate.

  • Treatment acceptance over 80% (because loyalty = trust).

  • MRR pays the overhead — everything else is profit.


How to Bundle D0120 for Maximum Profit:

Tier 1: Preventive Essentials

  • D0120 — Periodic Exam (2x/year)

“Mrs. Green, did you know our Smile Club includes two checkups (D0120), two cleanings, X-rays, plus discounts on big treatments — all for one low monthly fee? Most patients save $400+ a year and never get surprise bills. Want me to enroll you today?”

8 out of 10 say yes.
