The Insurance Circus
Let’s be honest… insurance is like that shady magician at a county fair. ✨
-
You submit a claim.
-
He waves his wand.
-
Poof!—your money disappears for 30–60 days.
And while dental claims software makes the circus less chaotic—cleaner submissions, fewer denials, better tracking—the truth is: it still ties you to the slowest payer in healthcare.
If you’re banking your practice’s future on filing claims faster, you’re missing the real show: building recurring revenue streams that don’t depend on insurance at all.
Dr. Kim vs. The Claims Monster
Dr. Kim ran a solid practice. She invested in the best dental claims software to streamline her front desk. Staff loved it:
-
Submissions were faster ️
-
Rejections dropped
-
Follow-ups were easier
But the financial reports still sucked. Revenue was unpredictable. Cash flow was all over the place.
Then she added BoomCloud™ into the mix. Instead of only relying on claims, she built her own in-house membership plan.
After 9 months:
-
280 patients enrolled
-
$28K MRR (Monthly Recurring Revenue)
-
$336K ARR (Annual Recurring Revenue)
-
Membership patients spent 3.4X more than insurance-only patients
-
Insurance stress? Practically gone
She told me: “Dental claims software kept me organized. BoomCloud™ made me profitable.”
The Big Shift
Dr. Kim thought her bottleneck was inefficiency with claims. She believed better software would mean more money.
Here’s the epiphany:
Submitting faster doesn’t change who’s paying you (insurance).
Insurance = unpredictable.
Membership = predictable.
The real growth happens when you stop depending on insurance altogether. BoomCloud™ gives you that pathway.
What Dental Claims Software Actually Does (and Doesn’t Do)
The Good: Why It’s Worth Using
-
Submits claims electronically
-
Tracks claim status in real-time
-
Reduces denials with cleaner data
-
⏳ Saves staff hours
The Bad: Why It Won’t Build Wealth
-
❌ Still tied to insurance delays
-
❌ Doesn’t increase patient loyalty
-
❌ Doesn’t create recurring revenue
-
❌ Only optimizes process—not profitability
Dental claims software = managing chaos.
BoomCloud™ = eliminating chaos.
Data That Changes Minds
Here’s what happens when practices adopt memberships:
-
Membership patients spend 2–4X more annually (BoomCloud™ data).
-
A modest 300 members @ $100/month = $30K MRR = $360K ARR.
-
Retention rates double when patients subscribe.
-
Practices with memberships average 50% higher margins.
-
Subscription-based businesses grow 5X faster than traditional ones (Zuora Subscription Economy Index).
Dental claims software makes insurance manageable. Memberships make insurance optional.
The Winning Combo
I’m not saying ditch claims software—it’s still critical if you’re working with insurance. But if you really want to grow, combine it with BoomCloud™.
With BoomCloud™, you can:
-
️ Build your own dental membership program
-
Automate recurring billing
-
Track MRR & ARR like a SaaS business
-
Reduce insurance dependency
-
Boost patient loyalty and retention
Think of it this way: claims software organizes the money you’re waiting for. BoomCloud™ creates the money that shows up every month, no waiting.
Cool Ideas for Mixing Claims + Membership ⚡
-
Train your team: Offer memberships to uninsured patients before talking about insurance.
-
Follow-ups: Automate emails to patients about skipping claims with membership.
-
Metrics to track: Don’t just measure claim turnaround time—track ARR and patient lifetime value.
-
Hybrid model: Use claims software for insured patients, BoomCloud™ for everyone else.
-
Exit plan: Aim to replace 30–50% of revenue with membership income within 2 years.
Case Study: Claims-Only vs Claims + Membership
Before (Claims Software Only):
-
$100K/month revenue
-
80% dependent on insurance
-
Avg patient spend: $850/year
-
Stress level:
After (Claims + BoomCloud™):
-
250 members enrolled
-
$25K MRR → $300K ARR
-
Avg patient spend: $2,200/year
-
Stress level:
Efficiency is nice. Predictability is priceless.
From Filing to Freedom ️
The bottom line: dental claims software makes your team’s life easier, but it doesn’t transform your bottom line.
What actually changes your financial future?
-
Recurring revenue
-
Higher patient loyalty
-
Predictable ARR & MRR
-
Less insurance reliance
That’s the BoomCloud™ effect.
Final Mic Drop
Here’s the truth that no dental claims software review will tell you:
Filing faster won’t make you richer.
Recurring revenue will.
BoomCloud™ turns your practice into a subscription business with predictable growth.
