Patterson Dental Software + BoomCloud™: 7-Figure Recurring Revenue Strategy to Double Patient Spend

Imagine:

your dental practice with steady income, fewer no‐shows, patients so loyal they actually accept the treatment you recommend — and you don’t have to hustle every Friday for new patients. Instead of riding the wild rollercoaster of insurance delays, high PPO denials, sporadic cleanings, you have consistency. More visits, more revenue, more control.

What if you could double or even quadruple what patients spend, not by charging more, but by being smarter about how you structure care, membership, and software? What if that kind of transformation was within reach with tools like Patterson for managing your practice, and BoomCloud to drive recurring revenue?

Story

Let me tell you about 7 to 7 Dental, a multi‐location practice that decided to stop letting insurance networks call all the shots. They implemented BoomCloud™ membership plans in‐house, using their existing practice software, streamlined front‑desk workflows, and got serious about automating everything: billing, renewals, tracking, patient communications, benefit tracking, etc.

Here’s what happened:

• They scaled to 3,484 active members across 9 locations. BoomCloud™

• They hit $156,780 in MRR (monthly recurring revenue) which equals $1,881,360 ARR (annual recurring revenue) from membership plans alone. BoomCloud™+1

• Revenue per patient went way up. Treatment acceptance improved. Patients showed up more reliably. No surprises. BoomCloud™

Then there’s Wood River Dental: starting from scratch, no membership program, just want­ing better control over cash flow & patient loyalty. They plug BoomCloud into their workflow, automate subscription billing, train staff to offer the membership plan, and now have 700+ active membership patients. BoomCloud™

These aren’t flukes. They show what happens when you pair good practice‐management software (say like Patterson’s PM tools, analytics, billing, etc.) with a well‐built membership program.

Comparing Patterson Dental Software & Membership Plans

First: what Patterson gives you (beyond basic charting, scheduling, imaging, etc.):

• A suite of practice management software, including cloud and server‑based tools like Fuse, Eaglesoft, etc. Patterson Dental+1

• Strong practice analytics via tools like Dental Intelligence to track KPIs, identify hidden revenue, optimize scheduling, etc. Patterson Dental+1

• Patient engagement tools, billing, payment processing, communication tools—everything you need for smooth operations. Patterson Dental+1

But Patterson out of the box doesn’t always include a fully optimized membership plan engine with all the bells & whistles (automation, failure follow‑ups, churn analytics, plan merchandising, etc.) that BoomCloud is built for. That’s where coupling Patterson with BoomCloud (or something similar) can hit home.

If you’re a dental practice using Patterson Dental Software (or planning to) and you want to take loyalty, revenue, and patient care to the next level, here’s what combining it with a strong membership program (powered by BoomCloud™) gives you:

• Predictable Revenue (MRR & ARR): Instead of waiting for insurance reimbursements or hoping walk‑ins show up, you have subscriptions or membership dues coming in monthly.

• Higher Revenue Per Patient: Membership patients (because they’re invested) tend to spend 2‑4× more on treatment, accept more recommendations, show up more regularly. (Data from BoomCloud case studies.) BoomCloud™+2BoomCloud™+2

• Better Customer (Patient) Retention & Loyalty: Membership members stay longer (retention rates of ~80‑90% vs 50‑60% for non‑members/insurance‑only) in BoomCloud studies. BoomCloud™+1

• Reduced Dependence on Insurance / PPOs: Insurance can be low margin, delayed payments, restrictive. Memberships give more control. BoomCloud clients reduced insurance reliance significantly. BoomCloud™+2BoomCloud™+2

• Improved Operational Efficiency: Automate billing, renewals, follow‑ups; track churn; use analytics dashboards; reduce front‑desk headaches. BoomCloud gives you tools to manage this. BoomCloud™+2BoomCloud™+2

Here’s where many practices get stuck: they assume “if I offer insurance, that’s enough” or “I’ll get more new patients → that’s how I grow revenue.” They pour money into marketing, get some new people in, but they still have erratic income, lapses in patient attendance, needing to discount, dealing with denied claims, etc.

Then they have the epiphany: What if instead of chasing new patients constantly, I optimize revenue per patient, build loyalty, reduce churn, and make sure patients accept needed treatments?

They realize this:

• One patient who’s in a membership plan, on autopay, with good communication = more visits, more acceptance, more value than several walk‑ins or discounted insurance cases.

• That membership patients spend 2× to 4× more annually than uninsured or standard PPO patients. BoomCloud™+1

• So: growing revenue isn’t just about growth in numbers — it’s about growth in value per patient. Per patient LTV (lifetime value) becomes king.

Once you’ve had that epiphany, you start structuring: implement a membership program, train staff to pitch it, use software to automate, monitor MRR (monthly recurring revenue) & ARR, track churn, monitor what treatments membership patients are accepting, etc.

Concrete Case Study: 7 to 7 Dental + BoomCloud™

Let’s go deeper:

This is huge. They didn’t just improve by 10‑20%. They transformed their income base. Rather than ruggedly chasing new patients, they leveraged the ones they already had to create stable income, predictable cash flow, and more capacity to invest in growth — whether that’s another location, better equipment, or hiring staff.

How a Practice Using Patterson + BoomCloud Could Do It

Here’s a rough blueprint of how to mix Patterson Dental Software + BoomCloud membership to scale:

1. Audit current practice operations via Patterson Analytics (or equivalent)

   • How many uninsured patients do you have?

   • How many PPO/insurance patients, what’s the mix of revenue vs payouts?

   • What is your current patient retention & acceptance rates?

2. Design a membership plan tailored to your patient base

   • Use data (age demographics, income, insured vs noninsured) to decide what tiers/services people want.

   • Example: basic plan = 2 cleanings + exam + x‑ray with small fee; higher tier = adds periodontal treatment, cosmetics, etc.

3. Integrate with your software stack

   • Use Patterson for managing clinical, billing, appointment reminders.

   • Use BoomCloud to handle memberships: subscriptions/MRR, auto billing, benefit tracking, failed payments, churn tracking, dashboard analytics.

4. Train your staff & front desk

   • Edge cases: patient objects (“I’m fine with PPO”), fears, cost concerns. Teach them scripts.

   • Emphasize “value” & loyalty.

5. Launch and promote heavily

   • In‑office signage, reminder emails, phone outreach, website widget etc.

   • Use promotions or limited offers to jumpstart enrollment.

6. Track metrics with discipline

   • MRR & ARR growth over time.

   • Churn / renewal rates.

   • Treatment acceptance among members vs non‑members.

   • Revenue per patient.

7. Iterate & optimize

   • Maybe adjust pricing, tweak benefits, change tiers.

   • Use patient feedback.

Data & Stats — Reality Check

• Practices with membership plans (using BoomCloud) report patients spend 2×–4× more than non‑membership or uninsured patients. BoomCloud™+1

• Practices reducing dependence on insurance see fewer delays, more control on pricing, better margins. BoomCloud clients often report lower insurance overhead. BoomCloud™

• Retention: membership patients show retention rates of 80‑90% vs ~50‑60% for insurance or one‑off patients. BoomCloud™

• In 7 to 7 Dental’s case: $156,780 MRR ⇨ $1.88 million ARR from membership plan alone. BoomCloud™+1

So What About Patterson? How It Fits

Patterson provides solid software backbone: data, patient management, billing, imaging, scheduling, etc. These are essential. But without a membership plan (or something like BoomCloud), much of that potential stays untapped. The analytics might tell you there are gaps (patients missing cleanings, low treatment acceptance), but you won’t have direct tools to fix retention, recurring revenue, patient loyalty with a subscription‑like model.

Membership programs give you:

• Better cash flow smoothing between peaks/troughs.

• Predictability for growth: when you know your ARR or MRR, you can plan expansions, hire, invest.

• More loyal patients who engage regularly.

If Patterson is doing analytics and practice management well, adding something specific to memberships builds on that strength — you don’t need to reinvent everything; you need to fill in a powerful gear in your revenue engine.

Best Practices & Pitfalls

Best practices:

• Keep membership pricing simple & transparent. Confusing tiers = fewer enrollments.

• Sell early and often. Train front desk to offer when patients call, check out, during treatment discussions.

• Automate the follow‑ups (renewals, failed payments, lapsed benefits).

• Use patient feedback to refine your offerings.

• Use dashboard KPI tracking (churn, ARR, MRR, RPP = revenue per patient) to know what’s working.

Pitfalls to avoid:

• Overpromising discounts but underdelivering care quality.

• Neglecting communication: if patients don’t understand their benefits, they won’t use them. This kills perceived value.

• Failing to track churn, failed payments. A lot of recurring revenue tools fall apart because people don’t follow up.

• Pricing too low (undercuts value) or too high (limits adoption).

What You’ll Realize

You’ll realize that more patients is the wrong primary goal. The goal is more value per patient. Once you shift from “get more new patients” to “get more value, loyalty, and recurring revenue from patients you already serve (and new ones you convert into members)”, your practice transforms.

The tools are there (Patterson + BoomCloud or similar). The difference between practices that lull and practices that explode often isn’t more effort—it’s better structure, better leverage, and optimizing your revenue per patient (RPP) and lifetime value (LTV).

---

Final Verdict

If I were you, here’s what I’d do now:

• Evaluate your current practice: what’s your retention? What’s treatment acceptance? What’s revenue per patient vs what you think it could be?

• Consider adding a membership plan as part of your revenue strategy. Use BoomCloud™ for this. It’s built for it. Automate, track, optimize.

• Don’t replace Patterson (or other solid PM systems), but augment them. Use what’s strong in Patterson (analytics, scheduling, imaging), and fill the recurring revenue piece with BoomCloud.

If you want to see dramatic results like $150K+ MRR, $1‑2M+ ARR, doubling to quadrupling revenue per patient, better patient loyalty, fewer no‑shows & less dependency on PPOs—this is a path proven by practices already doing it.
