How to restart your dental practice with a subscription membership program

Like many dental offices, you may be concerned with the state of the economy after having closed your office and how this will affect your income. During the 2008 recession, unemployment, at its peak, was less than half of what it already is. In addition to being laid off, many other patients will likely have their dental benefits cut or eliminated. Major deterrents to patients seeking dental care include fear of the cost and the lack of transparency with many dental insurance deductibles, co-pays, limitations and other terms that patients do not understand.

Patients value a healthy beautiful smile and want great dental care. However, many are concerned about cost and if it fits in their budget.

When you create a subscription membership program through Cirrus Dental, you are able to offer patients a simple, clear, and transparent way to afford the dental care that they already want. A $140 bill for an exam and cleaning can be a challenge for someone trying to stretch every dollar. And if you add necessary x-rays for who knows how much, an appointment in your office may be out of the question. To welcome back patients into your office consider a $30 monthly subscription to cover preventive care. That is much more palatable. 

And not only do subscriptions work well for patients, they also bring recurring monthly revenue to your office.

Use this time to educate yourself and your office about subscription membership programs. Sign up for a webinar about Cirrus Dental and how the Cirrus platform works at mycirrusdental.com/webinar.html.

When you reopen your office and call your patients to confirm their hygiene appointments, offer them the simple and clear subscription that fits in their budget and creates a regular revenue stream for your office.

My Decision to Leave the Dental PPO's

In the fall of 2019, Delta Dental announced that they were going to reduce benefits for all of the patients in my practice with Delta coverage. I decided to make a change. I became a non-restricted provider.  It was a very scary decision. I had prepped my team that I was considering this change for months. But when the time came, I wasn't sure what the result would be. Would I lose 35% of my patients, would my practice be able to survive? Would I be able to retain my staff? I have great patients and a great staff and want to be able to provide the best dental care with the best staff. I sent a letter to all of my patients letting them know about my decision, that we still welcomed them in our practice, and letting them know that we were offering an alternative, an in-office membership. I had calculated that the membership was a great value that would cost the patient significantly less and allow us to earn more. To my surprise, very few patients left, many subscribed to our members

Investigate Dental Subscription Options - New Learning for the Dental Team

If your dental team is faced with downtime, you might consider having them learn about a new product or service that results in more patients and more income for the office. A dental subscription is a way to create recurring revenue for your office and create loyalty with your patients.  But what type of subscription is right for your office and what should you consider when setting up your subscription program? Who will administer the subscription?              Option 1 : Dental office does everything from designing the plan, crafting legal documents, contacting patients monthly for collections and renewals, maintaining financial records of transactions, maintaining renewal dates. Administering this plan is possible but requires significant startup costs, time and labor to administer.              Option 2 : Contract with a dental membership administrator. There are many companies offering services and the level of service varies greatly. Some offer dental practices a wo

Fat Cat or Lean Machine

As we move forward with continual changes in the dental office, creating new efficiencies is necessary to improve costs for patients and increase profits for dental teams.    Dental insurance has played a critical roll in allowing individuals to seek preventive care over the years for a fixed monthly cost. However, over the years the insurance executives have become “fat cats” often retaining more than half of the premiums patients pay while decreasing the reimbursements to dental offices. The insurance executives advise dental offices to find more efficient ways of operating.   Dental memberships allow a more efficient way to operate, transforming the dental office into a lean machine and eliminating the high overhead associated with traditional insurance. The patient subscribes directly with the dentist, allowing for lower monthly costs while boosting the office income.   A membership program can also help you to escape the PPO trap, by offering your patients an alternative.
