In dentistry today, PPOs are not your friend, they hurt your cash flow, demolish your profit margins, jeopardize your patient relationships & use A.I. to deny claims!!

$47. No fluff. Just results.

You in?

Dentists — raise your hand if the D2150 dental code has ever made you mutter curse words under your breath. ✋

You know the one:
➡️ D2150 = Amalgam – two surfaces, primary or permanent.

Sounds innocent, right?
Wrong.

Insurance companies use D2150 as their playground:

  • Downcode it to D2140.

  • Bundle it with preventive codes.

  • Pay you pennies while your lab and staff eat up the profit.

Meanwhile, patients freak out over surprise out-of-pocket fees.

But what if the D2150 dental code could flip from profit vampire to recurring cash cow ?

Strap in. We’re about to hack your entire restorative workflow.


Meet Dr. Rachael:

Crown queen, filling artist, and the biggest D2150 fan in Austin — except for the way insurance turns it into a freebie.

Every month she’d lose:

  • $90 per D2150 when insurance denied the second surface.

  • 35% of patients delaying treatment due to surprise bills.

  • 20% no-shows for fillings. ☠️

One sleepless night, she discovered BoomCloud™ and got a Russell Brunson epiphany:
“Why not make D2150 a loyalty hook instead of a loss leader?”

She packaged D2150 inside a membership plan:
✅ 2 cleanings
✅ 2 exams
✅ X-rays
✅ Discounted fillings (D2150, D2140, D2160)
✅ No more cost confusion

Fast forward:
✅ 520 loyal members
✅ $18,900 Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR)
✅ $226,800 locked Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR)
✅ 3X higher treatment plan acceptance.

She calls her plan “insurance therapy.”


Want that freedom?

Here’s the cheat code:

Take your D2150 dental code (and other fillings).
Package them with hygiene perks in a custom membership plan.
Automate it all with BoomCloud™.

Now YOU control your revenue — not some bored insurance clerk in a cubicle.


Dan Kennedy 101: Smart businesses eliminate friction.

Insurance adds friction:

  • Surprise bills.

  • Confused patients.

  • Denials for multiple-surface fillings.

A membership plan erases that:
✅ Simple flat monthly fee.
✅ Predictable discounts on fillings like D2150.
✅ No sticker shock.

Patients feel smart for joining. You feel smart for laughing at EOBs instead of crying over them.


The Stats:

Patients on a membership plan spend 2–4X MORE per year.

BoomCloud™ practices hit $10k–$20k in MRR in under two years.

Insurance AR drops by 50%.

Members renew 70% more reliably than non-members.

D2150 used right = loyalty machine.


Dr. Rachael’s D2150 Dental Code Masterplan:

Before BoomCloud™:
❌ $90 lost per filling.
❌ High cancellation rate for fillings.
❌ AR stacked up like dirty laundry.

After BoomCloud™:
✅ D2150 discounted in the plan — patients say “yes” instantly.
✅ 92% show-up rate for fillings.
✅ $18,900 MRR covers rent, payroll, and marketing before the month even starts.
✅ Extra money goes straight to profit.


How to Package D2150 for Maximum Recurring Revenue:

Here’s a killer membership structure

Tier 1: Smile Essentials Plan

  • 2 Cleanings (D1110)

  • 2 Exams (D0120)

  • 4 Bitewings (D0274)

  • 10% off ALL fillings (D2150 and more)

Tier 2: Complete Care Plan

  • Everything in Tier 1 +

  • Oral Cancer Screening (D0431)

  • Fluoride Varnish (D1206)

  • 15% off fillings and crowns

BoomCloud™ sets up the tiers, handles renewals, and automates payments — zero stress.


How to Sell It Without Being Pushy:

Here’s the magic line:

“Mr. Johnson, insurance might not fully cover this filling (D2150). But our Smile Club covers your checkups and gives you a discount on ALL fillings and major work for one low monthly fee. Most patients save hundreds a year. Want me to enroll you today?”

Easy. Honest. Conversion magnet.


✅ Must-Bundle Codes with D2150 Dental Code:

✔️ D2150 — Amalgam, two surfaces
✔️ D2140 — Amalgam, one surface
✔️ D2160 — Amalgam, three surfaces
✔️ D0120 — Periodic Exam
✔️ D1110 — Adult Cleaning
✔️ D0274 — Bitewings
✔️ D0431 — Oral Cancer Screening
