Dental PPOs Are a Parasite—Here’s How to Cut Them Out for Good

Let’s get something straight.
PPOs aren’t partners—they’re profit parasites.
They pay late, they pay less, and they control your treatment plan from across the country.

If you’ve been searching for how to drop dental PPOs, this is your field guide.
Not just how to drop them—but how to replace that PPO revenue (and then some) with:
✅ Recurring revenue
✅ Loyal patients
✅ A predictable business model that you OWN

The secret? A rock-solid membership plan powered by BoomCloud™.
Let’s dive in.


How Dr. Wren Dropped 3 PPOs and Built a $450K Membership Engine

Dr. Wren had been saying “yes” to PPOs for years.
But that “yes” came with:
❌ $38,000/month in write-offs
❌ 90-day payment delays
❌ Burned-out staff and patients trained to shop around

She decided to flip the script:
✅ Analyzed her worst PPO contracts
✅ Dropped 3 of them
✅ Launched a BoomCloud™ membership plan with a $35/month offer
✅ Ran Facebook + Google Ads to uninsured patients
✅ Trained her front desk to sell it

In 10 months:

  • MRR = $37,500/month

  • ARR = $450,000

  • Case acceptance = 80%+ for members

  • Revenue per patient = 4X higher for members vs. PPOs

Now she chooses her patients—and her income doesn’t depend on claim approvals.


How to Drop Dental PPOs Without Losing Your Shirt

Here’s your blueprint to make it happen without chaos


✅ Step 1: Launch a Membership Plan That Replaces PPO Revenue

Your plan should sound like this:

“Join our Smile Club – $35/month includes cleanings, exams, X-rays + 20–30% off all treatment. No insurance needed.”

BoomCloud™ makes it easy to:

  • Automate billing and renewals

  • Create multiple tiers (basic, perio, cosmetic)

  • Track MRR, ARR, and member behavior

  • Add a sign-up widget to your website

✅ Step 2: Audit Your PPO Contracts and Cut the Worst Offenders

What to evaluate:

  • Total revenue from plan

  • Write-offs per claim

  • Profit per procedure

  • How often claims are denied or delayed

Drop the plans that are giving you all the headaches and none of the margin.

What to tell patients: “We’ve replaced this insurance plan with something better: our in-house Smile Club. It’s simpler, saves you money, and helps us serve you better.”


✅ Step 3: Train Your Team to SELL the Membership Plan

Your membership plan is your best product.
Treat it like it.

Your office manager and front desk team should:

  • Understand the plan inside and out

  • Present it with enthusiasm

  • Enroll patients at checkout or by phone

  • Use BoomCloud™ to track signups and renewals

Scripting Example: “Hey [Patient Name], instead of going through your old insurance, you can join our Smile Club and save 30% on treatment. Want me to enroll you now?”


✅ Step 4: Market Directly to the Uninsured (And PPO Patients You Want to Convert)

There are MILLIONS of people with no dental insurance. They’re looking for you.

Facebook + Instagram Ad Example: “No Insurance? No Problem. Join our Smile Club and get cleanings, exams, and X-rays for just $35/month.”

Use retargeting ads to follow up with people who visit your membership page but don’t convert.

Google PPC Keywords:

  • “Affordable dentist no insurance [City]”

  • “Dental membership plan [City]”

  • “Dentist drop PPO [City]”

Send all traffic to a dedicated landing page with your BoomCloud™ sign-up widget.


✅ Step 5: Track Metrics That Matter (Not Just Production)

The KPIs that matter when dropping PPOs:

  • MRR (Monthly Recurring Revenue)
    Members × Monthly Fee
    Example: 900 × $40 = $36,000/month

  • ARR (Annual Recurring Revenue)
    MRR × 12 = $432,000/year

  • Revenue per Patient
    Membership patient: $1,800–$2,500
    PPO patient: $600–$900

  • Case Acceptance Rate
    Members = 75–90%
    PPO = 50–60%

From PPO Prisoner to Predictable Profit

Dr. Wren used to be buried under insurance paperwork and shrinking margins.
Now she: ✔️ Sees fewer patients
✔️ Earns more
✔️ Has a loyal, cash-paying member base
✔️ Takes Fridays off (because MRR keeps rolling in)

She didn’t just drop the PPOs—she built a recurring revenue model that gives her peace and profit.
