Dependence or independence? Relative to your insurance provider network your answer is probably affected by profitability. Even so, independence could be achieved by discovering how to create, launch, and grow an in-house dental membership plan.<\/p>\n
Consumers, like your patients, are acquainted with membership arrangements for acquiring products and services. The same preferred convenience and VIP-like benefits could extend to your patient care.<\/p>\n
And a dental membership plan also helps boost your revenue cycle and cash-flow<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n Those and more are good reasons to consider a dental membership plan as part of your overall revenue cycle management.<\/p>\n \u201dA dental membership program allows you to create your own plans as an alternative to insurance. Patients pay your office a monthly or yearly subscription fee in exchange for benefits and discounts. People leave dental practices for various reasons, but more often than not they leave because of insurance coverage<\/a> (money issues) and not poor customer service.\u201d<\/p>\n Patients should be able to easily understand the details and benefits of your plan. Simplify the description into one, benefit-focused sentence as a way of explaining it.<\/p>\n Simplicity allows you to quickly and casually offer the plan as an alternative in-the-moment. Patients want a straightforward explanation of your plan unlike that of making a payment commitment when purchasing an automobile or home.<\/p>\n And speaking of your team\u2019s connection to the plan\u2026<\/p>\n Comprehensive team training from the front desk to your clinical departments will give your dental membership plan traction. Keep the training details and narrative relevant to the core benefits patients will receive from it.<\/p>\n Direct mail, email, and social media are go-to marketing channels for informing your patients and the public about your dental membership plan.<\/p>\n Your online platform and presence is likely where you\u2019ll create most of the \u201cbuzz\u201d for your dental membership\u00a0plan. Of course, it doesn\u2019t need to be a dominant theme\u2026but it does require some attention.<\/p>\n Your patient review strategy is key to highlighting actual patient experience with your dental membership plan. Ask patients who have joined to include related comments in their online reviews.<\/p>\n The better the patient experience with your dental membership plan the better their ongoing loyalty will be. A dental membership in many ways can help you create lifetime dental patients\u2026rather than one-and-done patients.<\/p>\n Check out the following resource for more detailed information about the ins-and-outs of a dental membership plan:<\/p>\n What Is a Dental Membership Plan and How Can It Improve Your Revenue Cycle?<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n And\u2026<\/p>\n If you\u2019re ready to start creating your path to insurance-independence – we recommend the Kleer<\/a><\/span> dental membership plan platform.<\/p>\n You might find the cloud solution like Denticon to be a more efficient report gathering platform<\/a><\/span> to monitor and drive your overall dental practice or dental organization\u2019s performance.<\/p>\n Aside from its financial management capacity, the Denticon platform also provides:<\/p>\n It makes sense to look below the surface and see the massive potential of upgrading to a cloud-based dental practice management solution with a more advanced revenue cycle management module.<\/p>\n Thinking about or ready to update your dental practice management software?
