Let’s talk about the holy grail of every dental practice: increasing dental production. It’s not just about filling chairs—it’s about filling them with ideal patients who say yes to treatment, spend more, and keep coming back.
If you’re tired of juggling PPO plans, writing off profits, and chasing down insurance payments, it’s time to flip the script. The secret weapon? Patient membership programs. These programs not only boost your production but also attract loyal patients who spend 2x to 4.2x more than PPO patients.
Add a powerful tool like BoomCloud™ to the mix, and you’ve got a formula for predictable revenue, higher case acceptance, and a thriving practice. Let’s dive into how membership plans help you crush your production goals, plus a case study to prove it works.
Why Membership Programs Are the Key to Boosting Production
Here’s the thing: PPO patients are… fine. But let’s be real—they come with baggage (You need to reduce dependence on PPOs):
- Low Case Acceptance: PPO patients say yes to treatment about 30% of the time because insurance doesn’t always cover what they need.
- Lower Spend: The average PPO patient spends only $500 per year, leaving a lot of potential on the table.
- Admin Nightmares: Claims, write-offs, and collections? No thanks.
Membership patients, on the other hand, are the VIPs of your practice. They commit with their wallets, trust your recommendations, and spend big.
Why Membership Patients Rock:
- Higher Spend: Members spend $2,150 per year on average, compared to $500 for PPO patients.
- Better Case Acceptance: Membership patients say yes to treatment 40% of the time, thanks to predictable pricing and discounts.
- No Insurance Hassles: No claims, no write-offs—just direct revenue.
Membership programs aren’t just a revenue boost—they’re a production game-changer.
How Membership Plans Drive Case Acceptance
One of the biggest barriers to case acceptance is cost. Patients balk at the price tag, especially when insurance coverage is confusing (or non-existent). Membership plans eliminate that friction by offering:
- Transparent Pricing: Patients know exactly what they’re paying.
- Built-In Discounts: Members save 10–30% on treatments like crowns, implants, and whitening.
- Psychological Commitment: When patients are already paying for a plan, they’re more likely to take advantage of it.
It’s like a gym membership—once they’ve paid, they’re showing up.
