Another Implant Case, Another PPO Nightmare—Sound Familiar?
You just placed a D6057 dental code—Custom Abutment for an Implant.
You crafted a beautiful, precise abutment, ensuring the implant will last for decades.
You submit the claim to the insurance company, expecting a decent reimbursement…
And then…
DENIED!
UNDERPAID!
MORE PPO INSURANCE BS!
Now, your front desk is:
Stuck on hold fighting with insurance reps.
Writing off THOUSANDS in PPO “adjustments.”
Watching your profits disappear.
Reality check: The average dental practice writes off $35,000+ per month in PPO discounts. That’s $420,000 per year—GONE.
❌ Why are you still playing this game?
✅ Over 50% of Americans don’t even have dental insurance.
✅ Membership patients accept treatment 2X-4X more than PPO patients.
✅ You can build predictable recurring revenue (MRR & ARR) with a membership plan.
In this guide, you’ll learn:
✅ What the D6057 dental code is & how to appeal a denial.
✅ Why a membership plan is the best alternative to PPOs.
✅ How BoomCloud™ helps practices generate predictable revenue & happier patients.
Let’s go.
Story: How One Dentist Ditched PPOs & Added $500K in Recurring Revenue
Meet Dr. Ryan Mitchell.
He was:
❌ Tired of insurance companies slashing his implant fees.
❌ Losing thousands every month due to low reimbursements.
❌ Frustrated that patients delayed care due to insurance excuses.
Then, he made ONE SIMPLE CHANGE—he stopped relying on PPOs and launched a membership plan.
Fast forward 12 months:
He dropped 3 low-paying PPOs.
His practice added $42,000/month in predictable recurring revenue.
Case acceptance skyrocketed (because patients had a simple way to pay).
That’s the power of saying goodbye to PPOs & embracing memberships.
What is the D6057 Dental Code & How to Stop Losing Money on It
What is the D6057 Dental Code?
D6057 is the ADA insurance code for a custom abutment placed on a dental implant.
Definition:
✅ “D6057 – Custom Abutment – Fabricated to Provide Support & Retention for an Implant Crown”
This code is used for:
✔️ Custom-designed abutments that fit perfectly with the implant and restoration.
✔️ Ensuring proper occlusion, aesthetics, and longevity of the implant.
✔️ Providing patients with a long-term, high-quality solution.
BUT HERE’S THE PROBLEM:
What D6057 Should Be Worth: $600 – $1,200
What Most PPOs Pay: $200 – $500
That means for every 10 implant abutments you place, you’re losing $10,000+ per month.
The True Cost of PPO Write-Offs:
You place 20 implant abutments a month
PPOs underpay by $700 per case
$14,000 lost PER MONTH
$168,000 PER YEAR—GONE!
So, what’s the fix? Stop relying on PPOs & start offering a membership plan.
Why Membership Plans Are Better Than PPOs
RULE #2: Membership patients don’t need insurance. They just say YES.
How a Dental Membership Plan Works:
✅ Patients pay a low monthly or annual fee for preventive care.
✅ They get exclusive discounts on additional treatments.
✅ You generate predictable recurring revenue (MRR).
Why This Works:
✔️ Membership patients spend 2X-4X more than PPO patients.
✔️ Case acceptance skyrockets (because cost isn’t a barrier).
✔️ You create LOYALTY & RETENTION.
