The Insurance Hamster Wheel
Dentists are obsessed with efficiency. You’ve probably heard it:
-
“If we just get better dental claim software, insurance payments will come faster.”
-
“If we streamline claims, cash flow will stabilize.”
-
“If we automate submissions, life will be easier.”
And sure—dental claim software makes filing faster, tracking smoother, and rejections less of a nightmare. But here’s the ugly truth: insurance is still insurance. It’s slow. It’s messy. And no matter how fast your claims fly out the door, they still crawl back into your bank account weeks later.
If you want real predictability? You need to step outside the hamster wheel and build recurring revenue with a membership program.
Dr. Alvarez and the Claim Game
Dr. Alvarez invested in the latest dental claim software. Her staff was thrilled—no more endless faxing, fewer denials, and way fewer calls to insurance companies.
But when she looked at the books? Cash flow was still inconsistent. Insurance reimbursements came late, patients dropped off after one or two visits, and profitability was flat.
Then she layered BoomCloud™ into her practice. Instead of chasing insurance money, she launched a membership plan. Patients signed up for affordable monthly or yearly care packages.
The results after 10 months:
-
330 patients enrolled
-
$33K MRR (Monthly Recurring Revenue)
-
$396K ARR (Annual Recurring Revenue)
-
Membership patients spent 3.1X more than non-members
-
Stress over “waiting on claims” dropped like a bad habit
Her accountant literally said: “For once, your revenue looks like a SaaS company, not a casino.”
From Waiting to Winning
At first, Dr. Alvarez thought dental claim software would solve her problem. She believed efficiency was the path to growth.
The epiphany came when she realized:
Submitting claims faster doesn’t mean you get paid faster.
Insurance dependency = unpredictable cash flow.
Membership revenue = predictable growth.
BoomCloud™ turned her practice from insurance-dependent to membership-powered.
Why Dental Claim Software Alone Isn’t Enough

Claim software organizes your insurance mess. BoomCloud™ eliminates the mess altogether.
Data That Matters
Here’s the kind of data your insurance company doesn’t want you to see:
-
Membership patients spend 2–4X more annually (BoomCloud™ data).
-
300 members × $100/month = $30K MRR = $360K ARR.
-
Retention increases 2–3X with memberships.
-
Practices using membership models average 50% higher margins.
-
Subscription businesses grow 5X faster than traditional ones (Zuora Subscription Economy Index).
Insurance pays you eventually. Membership pays you every month on autopilot.

Cool Ways to Combine Claims + Membership ⚡
Here’s how to build a practice that wins both ways:
-
Segment uninsured patients → push membership offers instead of relying on insurance.
-
Automated reminders: “Skip the claims. Join our membership plan today.”
-
Tracking KPIs: Monitor both claim turnaround AND ARR/MRR for full visibility.
-
Insurance escape plan: Aim to replace 30–50% of insurance revenue with memberships.
-
Tiered plans: Offer preventive, perio, and family packages to maximize patient value.

Stop Submitting, Start Subscribing

The real growth comes when you:
-
Turn patients into subscribers

That’s what BoomCloud™ delivers.
