Ready to dive in? Let’s break it down with a case study, actionable steps, and a whole lot of optometry magic.
Why Membership Plans Are the Future of Optometry
Here’s the thing: vision insurance isn’t cutting it. It’s expensive, restrictive, and a hassle for both patients and practices. Enter membership plans, a simple, affordable alternative that gives patients access to the care they need while boosting your practice’s revenue.
Benefits for Patients:
- Affordable, predictable pricing with no red tape.
- Discounts on glasses, contacts, and other products.
- Peace of mind knowing their vision care is covered.
Benefits for Your Practice:
- Recurring revenue through Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR).
- Increased patient loyalty and retention.
- Higher patient spend on glasses, frames, and even supplements.
