LIVE Case Study: How One Dentist Went from PPO-Dependent to $500K+/Year in Recurring Revenue With a Membership Program!

In dentistry today, PPOs are not your friend, they hurt your cash flow, demolish your profit margins, jeopardize your patient relationships & use A.I. to deny claims!!

If I had an employee or partner that messed up my business like that, I would FIRE them ASAP! 

$47. No fluff. Just results.

You in?

Dental claim denial forms are the bureaucratic kryptonite of modern dentistry. Dentists spend over 15 hours a week on insurance paperwork—time that could be spent, you know, doing dentistry.

According to the ADA, 25-40% of dental claims are denied the first time they’re submitted.
❌ That’s not just annoying—it’s revenue lost, treatment delayed, and patients frustrated.

And here’s the kicker—patients don’t understand any of it. You know what they do understand?

“Pay $29/month and get 2 cleanings, exams, and discounts—no insurance needed.”
That’s the beauty of a dental membership plan.

Enter: BoomCloud™, the rebel software that’s helping practices flip the script.


You Don’t Need Insurance to Grow a Thriving Practice

Dr. Julie Ramirez from Denver had it with insurance. In 2019, she dropped her top two PPOs and launched a membership plan using BoomCloud™. Fast forward to today:

  • She grew her monthly recurring revenue (MRR) to $19,500

  • Annual recurring revenue (ARR)? Over $230K

  • ‍‍‍ 740+ active members who happily pay monthly and skip the insurance chaos

  • Her average membership patient spends 2X more annually than insurance patients

Here’s what Dr. Julie realized—and what every smart practice eventually discovers:

The best way to grow a practice isn’t chasing new patients—
It’s increasing revenue per patient.


Membership Patients Spend More—Here’s the Data

BoomCloud™’s internal research across hundreds of dental offices shows:

  • Membership patients spend 2–4X more than insurance patients

  • ⏱ Practices with MRR are 35% more stable during economic downturns

  • Members return more often, stay longer, and refer more friends

Why? Because a membership plan aligns incentives: You win when they come in. And they win because there’s no fine print, no pre-approvals, and no “claim denied” faxes from the 90s.


Kill the Denial Form, Build a Dental Membership Army Instead

Let’s be real: You don’t want to chase unpaid claims or explain line items on EOBs. You want a system that grows while you sleep.

BoomCloud™ helps you:

  • Launch a branded membership plan in days

  • Automate recurring payments and renewals

  • Track MRR, ARR, churn and growth metrics from one dashboard

  • Train your team to pitch membership plans like pros

Try BoomCloud™ here and ditch dental claim denial forms forever.


From Burnout to BoomCloud™

If you’re still reading this, you’ve probably had that gut-punch moment when a $2,000 crown gets denied and you have to tell your patient, “Sorry, your insurance says no.”

You’re not alone.

BoomCloud™ founder Jordon Comstock built the platform after seeing his dad’s practice struggle with the same insurance BS. He turned that pain into a tool that gives practices total control.

No more “working for insurance companies.”
No more writing off half your fee schedule.
No more waiting 90 days to get paid.

Membership = Predictable Cash Flow = Sanity.


DENTAL CLAIM DENIAL FORM? BURN IT. HERE’S WHAT TO DO INSTEAD:

Set up a membership plan: Use BoomCloud™ to create a simple, attractive offer (e.g. $30/month gets them cleanings, discounts & peace of mind).
Market it: Email patients, add it to your website, promote in-office with QR codes.
Track your MRR & ARR: Watch your revenue grow every single month.
Upsell gently: Membership patients are more invested in their care, so presenting treatment plans becomes easy.
Outrank your competitors: Use tools like Rank Math SEO + WordPress to optimize your membership landing page for keywords like:

  • dental membership plan

  • dental savings plan

  • dentist no insurance

  • dental care without insurance

  • monthly dental plan


Stop Letting Insurance Companies Steal Your Revenue

If insurance companies were your employees, you’d have fired them years ago. So why let them dictate how (or when) you get paid?

A well-run dental membership plan is your golden ticket to freedom, stability, and growth.

✅ More treatment acceptance
✅ More loyal patients
✅ More monthly recurring revenue

And best of all? ZERO claim denial forms.
