What’s in a Dental Membership Plan Contract?
Think of your membership plan contract as your practice’s handshake with your patients—only it’s legally binding, keeps things crystal clear, and doesn’t involve hand sanitizer. Here’s what you need to include:
1. Membership Overview
Explain the plan like you’re pitching it on Shark Tank:
- Monthly or annual fee (example: $45/month).
- What’s included (cleanings, exams, discounts on additional treatments).
- Any exclusions (sorry, no free veneers, Karen).
2. Payment Terms
Let’s avoid awkward conversations later. Be clear about:
- Payment methods (credit card, ACH, Venmo if you’re feeling edgy).
- Auto-renewals (because who likes sending reminders?).
- Refund policies (preferably: “no refunds, but here’s why you won’t need one”).
3. Termination Details
Sometimes, it’s not them—it’s you. Cover:
- How patients can cancel.
- What happens if they ghost you on payments.
4. Legal Disclaimers
Cue the fine print:
- “This is not dental insurance” (because it’s better).
- Any state-specific regulations.
5. HIPAA Compliance
You’re dealing with sensitive patient data, so make sure your contract checks all the privacy boxes.
Why Membership Plans Rock (For You and Your Patients)
Patients love membership plans because they make dental care predictable, affordable, and stress-free. You love them because they’re an all-you-can-eat buffet of revenue, loyalty, and simplicity.
- Patients Spend More: Membership patients spend 2X to 4.5X more than PPO patients. Why? They’re emotionally invested in your practice and way more likely to say “yes” to treatment.
- Steady Cash Flow: Monthly recurring revenue (MRR) means no more feast-or-famine months.
- No PPO Shenanigans: Bye-bye write-offs and “network discounts.”
- Higher ARPP: That’s Average Revenue Per Patient for the acronym-averse. Membership patients deliver big.

Optimize Your Practice Like a Pro
A membership plan contract is just the beginning. Here’s how to turn your practice into a revenue-generating machine:
1. Maximize ARPP

2. Nail Your ICP

3. Ditch PPOs (or Renegotiate)
Use your membership plan revenue to wean off low-paying PPO contracts. Or, if you must keep them, renegotiate for better terms.
4. Fire Up Your Marketing
- SEO: Make sure patients Googling “affordable dental care near me” find your plan.
- Social Media: Get those Instagram reels rolling.
- In-Office Signage: Because who can resist a good “limited-time offer” poster?
