Still Sending Invoices and Crossing Your Fingers? There’s a Better Way.
Let’s talk about dental collection agency
If chasing past-due balances and playing “collections roulette” is part of your daily routine… you’ve got a problem.
And spoiler alert: the solution isn’t sending a fourth reminder email or adding $25 late fees.
Real talk: If you’re relying on PPOs and passive billing, you’re not running a practice—you’re running a high-end charity with electric handpieces.
It’s time to take your revenue seriously and build a system that: ✅ Recovers what you’re owed
✅ Creates loyal, paying patients
✅ Doesn’t involve YOU chasing people for cash
Let’s talk about how a dental collection agency, paired with a BoomCloud™ membership plan, can help you clean up your A/R mess, grow recurring revenue, and never feel like a glorified debt collector again.
Story: Dr. Smith Was Bleeding Unpaid Revenue… Until He Called the Ninja
Dr. Smith had a growing practice, but a bloated accounts receivable.
Patients were getting treatment—then ghosting on payments.
Insurance claims were denied, delayed, or paid 90 days late.
And his front desk? Totally overwhelmed.
Then he found Andy Cleveland—aka The Collections Ninja (andycleveland.com)—who helped him clean up his A/R without destroying patient relationships.
At the same time, Dr. Smith launched a patient membership plan using BoomCloud™ and stopped depending on insurance altogether.
In 6 months:
-
Reduced collections by 60%
-
Launched a membership program with 700+ patients
-
MRR = $26,000/month
-
ARR = $312,000/year
-
Revenue per patient = up 3.4X vs PPOs
The ninja handled past-due balances. BoomCloud™ handled recurring revenue.
Dr. Smith? He went back to doing dentistry.
Want to Stop Chasing Bills and Start Growing Profit? Here’s What Works.
✅ 1. Hire a Real Dental Collection Agency (Not Your Office Manager’s Sticky Notes)
You’re not in the collections business. But Andy Cleveland is.
✅ He’s not just any collections guy—he specializes in dental.
✅ He understands your patients, your codes, your fees.
✅ He’ll recover overdue accounts without burning bridges.
Pro Tip: Don’t wait until your A/R is on life support. Start early.

✅ 2. Launch a Membership Plan That Makes Collections Irrelevant
Let’s be real—collections exist because payment systems are broken.
Patients love predictable pricing. YOU love recurring revenue.
That’s what BoomCloud™ delivers.
Offer Example: “Join our Smile Club for $35/month. Includes cleanings, exams, X-rays, and 30% off everything else.”
BoomCloud™ handles:
-
Automated monthly billing
-
Plan management
-
Member tracking
-
KPI dashboards (MRR, ARR, RPP)
No bills to chase. No insurance games. Just revenue that shows up every month.
✅ 3. Sell the Plan Like It’s VIP (Because It Is)
Your team can’t mumble through this. This plan is a value-packed VIP pass to affordable, worry-free dentistry.
Train your team to say:
“Instead of dealing with insurance, most of our patients join our Smile Club—$35/month covers your preventive care and saves 30% on treatment. Want me to sign you up?”
More clarity = more yeses = fewer collections down the line.
✅ 4. Track the Numbers That Actually Matter
Production means nothing if you’re not collecting.
With BoomCloud™, you can track:
-
MRR (Monthly Recurring Revenue)
-
ARR (Annual Recurring Revenue)
-
Revenue per patient
-
Membership churn rate
-
Patient retention & renewal
Membership patients stay longer, spend more, and show up.
Insurance patients ask if whitening is covered and then disappear.
Dr. Smith Didn’t “Try Harder”—He Built a Better System
Dr. Smith was working harder than ever and barely scraping by.
Then he: ✔️ Let Andy Cleveland handle the past due stuff
✔️ Launched a BoomCloud™ plan to prevent future billing issues
✔️ Focused on building value instead of fighting over balances
Now his revenue is predictable.
His team is focused.
His patients are happy (and paying).
And he’s sleeping way better at night.
Final Thoughts: Collections Are a Symptom. Memberships Are the Cure.
If you’re sick of sending bills, waiting for insurance, and chasing cash—it’s time to build a business model that works.
✅ Use Andy Cleveland to clean up your old A/R
✅ Use BoomCloud™ to build recurring revenue
✅ Offer membership plans that patients love
