“You Don’t Negotiate With Pirates. You Build Your Own Ship.” ☠️⛵
Every dental practice that’s ever felt bullied by PPOs knows the pain.
You bust your butt doing high-quality work, and what do you get?
Reduced reimbursements
Piles of paperwork
Endless phone trees
Patients confused by EOBs that look like ransom notes
Enter Unitas Dental—a company that helps you negotiate better PPO contracts. Sounds helpful, right? It is… to a point.
But here’s the kicker:
“Negotiating better terms with pirates doesn’t make them less pirate-y.”
You might claw back a few percentage points, but what if you could break free entirely?
What if you could create your own dental economy—predictable, profitable, and powered by monthly recurring revenue?
You can. And BoomCloud™ is showing dentists how every day.
Let’s unpack why membership models beat negotiation games—and how practices are using them to explode revenue, loyalty, and case acceptance.
Story: From Unitas Dental to Unstoppable With Membership
Dr. Mark Caldwell ran a high-volume practice in Denver.
His write-offs were bleeding him dry—nearly $36K/month to PPOs!
He hired Unitas Dental, and to their credit, they negotiated some stronger fee schedules. He got about a 10% bump in reimbursements across a few contracts. Not bad!
But guess what?
Insurance companies still dragged their feet.
Claim denials still rolled in.
His admin team was still buried under appeals.
That’s when he discovered BoomCloud™.
Within a year:
-
826 patients on his membership plan
-
$28,910 in Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR)
-
$346,920 in Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR)
-
3.2x higher treatment plan acceptance from members
-
Admin stress? Cut in HALF.
“I didn’t need better pirates,” he said. “I needed my own fleet.” ⚓
What Is Unitas Dental? (And What Do They Actually Do?)
In a nutshell, Unitas Dental is a PPO fee negotiation service. Their pitch?
Review your current PPO contracts
Identify underpaying plans
Negotiate higher fee schedules
Consolidate PPO networks when possible
Help you get credentialed across multiple plans
That’s good stuff—especially if you’re stuck deep in the PPO trenches.
They can absolutely help you get a better deal… temporarily.
But don’t confuse a better PPO rate with a better business model.
