Dental Billing Software: How to Build Recurring Revenue & Ditch PPO Chaos

December 22, 2024
Written by: Jordon Comstock

Today, we’re diving into the magic of dental billing software and how you can use it to launch and scale a membership plan that crushes PPOs, creates predictable revenue, and builds a loyal patient base that actually loves you. Oh, and we’re throwing in a killer case study from 7 to 7 Dental to show you how it’s done.

Okay, dentists, let’s face it. The dental world is filled with headaches—unreliable PPO payouts, skyrocketing overhead, and patient schedules that seem more unpredictable than your uncle’s karaoke playlist. But guess what? You don’t have to live like this.

Let’s roll!


What’s Wrong With PPOs (And Why They’re Ruining Your Life)

PPOs are like that friend who says, “Let’s split the bill,” and then disappears when the check comes. They’re masters of lowballing your reimbursements, taking months to pay, and dictating treatment plans like they own your practice.

Here’s how PPOs are wrecking your mojo:

  • Profit Margin Mayhem: You’re giving away 30-50% discounts on your fees—ouch.
  • Cash Flow Chaos: Waiting months for payment is like eating ramen while waiting for payday.
  • Lost Autonomy: PPOs love telling you how to treat patients. It’s like the dental version of “Big Brother.”

But hey, you don’t have to be stuck in PPO purgatory.


The Membership Plan Revolution: Your PPO Escape Plan

Why Membership Plans Are the GOAT

Membership plans are the antidote to PPO madness. With a well-run membership program, you can:

  • Attract PPO-Weary Patients: Patients who hate insurance games are begging for alternatives. Membership plans give them exactly what they want: affordable care without the hassle.
  • Create Predictable Revenue: With recurring monthly or annual fees, you’re no longer living appointment-to-appointment.
  • Boost Patient Spending: Membership patients spend 4.2X more than PPO patients—let that sink in.
  • Build Loyal Relationships: Members are your biggest fans, and they’re more likely to refer friends and family.

Case Study: 7 to 7 Dental’s Multimillion-Dollar Membership Plan

Now, let’s talk about the rockstars at 7 to 7 Dental. They didn’t just dip their toes into the membership game—they went full throttle and built a multimillion-dollar program with the help of BoomCloud™.

The Problem

7 to 7 Dental was drowning in PPO contracts. Profits were slim, cash flow was erratic, and their team was working overtime to keep up with the demands of insurance red tape.

The Solution

They partnered with BoomCloud™ to launch a membership plan that flipped the script on their business model. Here’s how they did it:

  • Membership Fee: $35/month or $400/year.
  • Perks: Free exams, cleanings, and discounts on treatments like crowns and implants.
  • Marketing Blitz: They promoted the plan through in-office signage, email campaigns, and social media.

The Results

  • 1,300 Members: They scaled to 1,300 active members in just one year.
  • Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR): $45,500 rolling in every single month.
  • Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR): $546,000 from memberships alone.
  • Patient Loyalty: Members became their most reliable patients, generating more referrals and spending significantly more than PPO patients.

Key Takeaways

  • Automation Is King: BoomCloud™ handled all the nitty-gritty details, so the team could focus on patient care.
  • Consistent Marketing Pays Off: They didn’t just sit back and hope people signed up—they went all-in on marketing.
  • Members Are Better Patients: Membership patients weren’t just more profitable—they were easier to work with and way more loyal.
