Hey there, dental rebels! Let’s talk about a move that’s as bold as your favorite cup of morning coffee—cutting out the middleman. Yup, we’re talking about ditching the PPO grind, saying “no thanks” to insurers, and working directly with your patients.
How do you do that? By launching a direct dental care membership program. Think of it as the Netflix of dentistry: Patients subscribe to your plan, you deliver incredible care, and everyone wins (especially your revenue).
And the best part? Tools like BoomCloud™ make setting up and managing your membership program ridiculously easy. Ready to dive in? Let’s go!
Why Cut Out the Middleman?
Insurance companies love making you jump through hoops, and what do you get in return? Lower reimbursements, endless paperwork, and a headache big enough to rival that time you ate too much ice cream.
Here’s why working directly with your patients is a smarter move:
1. Say Goodbye to Insurance Drama
No more denied claims or delayed payments. With a membership program, your patients pay YOU directly, and everyone knows exactly what’s included.
2. Predictable Revenue
Membership fees create steady Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR), giving you financial peace of mind—even in the slow months.
3. Build Patient Loyalty
Membership patients are VIPs. They stick around longer, refer their friends, and trust you to handle all their dental needs.
4. Patients Spend More
Here’s the jaw-dropping stat:
- PPO Patients: $500/year.
- Cash Patients: $950/year.
- Membership Patients: $2,150/year (including the subscription).
How a Direct Dental Care Membership Program Works
Think of your membership plan as a dental subscription service. Patients pay a flat monthly or yearly fee in exchange for perks like free cleanings, discounted treatments, and priority scheduling.
Sample Membership Plan
- Cost: $35/month or $400/year.
- Benefits:
- Two free cleanings per year.
- 20% off restorative treatments like crowns and fillings.
- 10% off elective procedures like whitening.
- Free emergency exams.
- No surprise bills or hidden fees.
Why Patients Love Membership Plans
Patients love transparency, affordability, and simplicity—all things that traditional insurance lacks. A membership plan offers:
- Peace of Mind: No more worrying about what’s covered.
- Savings: Affordable access to preventive and restorative care.
- VIP Treatment: Members feel like they’re part of an exclusive club.
