Why is Cirrus Dental unique and better than other subscription membership platforms available?

Efficiency, transparency, simplicity.

Cirrus was created by a dentist who was faced with the challenge of a major dental insurer demanding an immediate 10 percent reduction in reimbursements and three additional reductions over the next four years.  Rather than complaining, he started investigating, obtained the tax returns of the non-profit dental insurer who was demanding cuts in compensation and learned that they were retaining almost 40% of what patients paid in premiums to fatten the wallets of the company and its executives. To him, this showed that there was an opportunity for a more efficient system. Cirrus created a system that needs only 3.5% of revenues to support itself.

With Cirrus you get what you see. We are not an insurance company with actuaries and floors of lawyers. We think we have the best product on the market for both you and your patients. We are so confident that we don’t try to hide our 3.5% service charge. We don’t have sign up fees. We don’t have monthly fees. We have 3.5%. That’s it. We are so confident in our platform that if you want to leave, you can with the click of a button.  

Cirrus is designed to eliminate the confusion and misunderstanding associated with traditional insurance so that your patients and staff know exactly what’s included in the subscription. There are no copays or deductibles, no pre-estimates or pre-authorizations, no claims rejections. You get what you see. We think a subscription should fit on a cocktail napkin.

Administering this plan is possible but requires significant startup costs, time and labor to administer.              Option 2 : Contract with a dental membership ad...

Dental PPO’s Will Drive You Out of Business

Dental PPO’s Will Drive You Out of Business Significant changes are underway in the dental marketplace as a result of the novel coronavirus. The ADA Health Policy Institute is forecasting a 2/3 decline in dental spending in the next year. This is coupled with increased costs for PPE and decreased capacity to see patients due to social distancing and new infection control procedures. The economics associated with PPO’s likely mean many of the procedures you perform will cost you more than you will receive in payments. Do you have the ability to set fair rates of reimbursement when you participate with a PPO? How long will you be able to continue practicing when you are losing money on procedures? With many traditional dental insurance companies retaining 40 percent or more of patient premiums, now is the time to consider a new economic model, an in-office subscription. A subscription service allows you to capitalize on the inefficiencies of traditional insurance by increas...

The Economic Cost of a 30 Minute Prophy That Now Takes 45 Minutes.

If a 30 minute prophy now takes you 45 minutes have your fees been adjusted accordingly? If you have 50 percent less time in your schedule, how will you fill your schedule? If you are participating with insurance companies with unrealistic reimbursement rates what will happen to your income. Many practices have maintained the salaries of their staff which should equate to 25-30% of revenue. If you now have an effective 50% increase in staffing costs due to increased appointment times, are you able to absorb the difference? Do you want to consider a change? It may sound counter intuitive, in a time with so much that is unknown, do you want to drop an insurance company now? With an in-office subscription service you can begin to take control of your economic future by setting fees that reflect the current economic reality.  Many dentists are now dropping big dental insurance carriers. They still accept payment from these insurance companies, they have just changed their ...
