Dental Insurance is Dead—Here’s What Smart Dentists Are Doing Instead
You wake up. Your calendar’s full. You’re crushing it. But at the end of the month… your collections look like you just started your practice yesterday.
Why? Two ugly words:
Dental Insurance.
Denied claims. Shrinking reimbursements. Delayed payments. And the privilege of begging networks for a few hundred bucks.
Dentists everywhere are finally waking up to a new reality:
You don’t need insurance. You need MEMBERSHIPS.
Specifically, Dental Discount Memberships powered by BoomCloud™—a business model that’s changing practices (and lives) forever.
STORY: How Dr. Alicia Turned a Broken PPO Practice Into a Recurring Revenue Machine
Let me tell you about Dr. Alicia, a dentist from Tampa who was burning out hard. Three hygienists down. Insurance clawbacks piling up. And new patients ghosting after hearing “Your insurance doesn’t cover that.”
She took a leap of faith. Ditched her bottom-tier PPOs and launched a $30/month dental discount membership plan with BoomCloud™.
She offered:
-
Two cleanings per year
-
Exams and X-rays included
-
15% off all other services
And here’s what happened:
-
In 6 months, she had 500 members
-
In 12 months, she was generating $15,000/month in MRR
-
In 18 months, her ARR hit $200,000+
-
And patient satisfaction? Off the charts.
She now works 3.5 days/week, travels quarterly, and calls insurance companies only to laugh at them.
What Are Dental Discount Memberships (And Why They’re Your New Best Friend)
Dental discount memberships are your escape hatch from insurance slavery.
Here’s what they are:
✅ A direct-to-patient membership plan
✅ Patients pay a flat monthly or yearly fee
✅ They receive basic preventive care + discounts on all other treatments
✅ You get predictable, recurring revenue—no middlemen
Sounds magical? That’s because it is.
And with BoomCloud™, it’s plug-and-play simple. ⚙️
Why Membership Patients Spend 2X to 4X More Than Insurance Patients
Let’s have a little moment of dental truth, shall we?
Insurance patients = low margin, high headache
Membership patients = high value, high loyalty
According to BoomCloud™ data, membership patients spend 2X to 4X MORE than PPO patients. Here’s why:
-
️ They show up more
-
️ They accept treatment faster
-
They’re not limited by stingy insurance caps
When patients pay you directly, the trust level skyrockets—and so does the lifetime value.
This is the moment you stop playing the “how many patients” game and start playing the “how much revenue per patient” game.
That’s the REAL metric that grows practices.
THE MATH: How Dental Discount Memberships Deliver Monthly Magic (MRR & ARR)
Let’s break down some sexy financials.
MRR = Monthly Recurring Revenue
ARR = Annual Recurring Revenue
Say you charge $35/month for your dental discount membership.
Now do the math:
| Members | Monthly Fee | MRR | ARR |
|---|---|---|---|
| 100 | $35 | $3,500 | $42,000 |
| 500 | $35 | $17,500 | $210,000 |
| 1,000 | $35 | $35,000 | $420,000 |
And that’s BEFORE treatment revenue.
BoomCloud™ helps you track this in real time so you can scale like a SaaS startup—not like a stressed-out solo dentist.
