The New Reality
Patients are spending less on dental care today than they were five years ago. Unemployment rates are falling but employers are reducing the benefits they provide to their employees. The Dental practice continues to have many pricing pressures as new entrants via the dental schools and consolidators force prices lower. Patients as well are looking at reducing their health expenditures so doing business the “old way” no longer works for those practices that are looking at ways to build. However, it does not have to be this way. These challenges can be overcome with a change in the way we currently do business.
The Dental Shield In-Clinic plan takes a different approach to a patients’ dental health benefits. It is an in-office membership plan providing both dentists and patients an alternative to traditional insurance, and helps dentists offset the changes in patient behavior brought on by the still slow economy.
It is important to note that dental associations are concerned with an ill conceived and marketed in-clinic dental plan and the impact it may have with their members. Dental Shield has developed the in-clinic program with these factors in mind and makes sure that all benefits are clearly defined and laid out so that patients understand exactly what the plans do and do not cover.
Obtaining new patients
When you become a Dental Shield In-Clinic Plan provider, new patients can purchase a Dental Shield In-Clinic membership directly through your own website in just a few minutes. By offering preventative services in monthly installments, practices can increase their new patient flow of fee-for-service patients without insurance.
The Dental Shield In-Clinic Plan is also be an excellent patient retention alternative for patients within your current patient base that do not have insurance.
How the Dental Shield In-Clinic Plan Works
When you sign up to become a Dental Shield In-Clinic Plan provider, a custom webpage is automatically created for your clinic. A link is placed on your website and when your patients click on it they are directed to your custom page where they can register for the Dental Shield In-Clinic Plan.
Dental Shield In-Clinic Plans allow your practice to offer in-clinic preventive membership plans that cover necessary check-ups, cleanings, and x-rays, in addition to a discount on restorative and cosmetic dentistry that your practice sets. You are in complete control of all membership fees and all discount terms and conditions.
There are two methods of offering the Dental Shield In-Clinic plan that is all automated by the Dental Shield platform:
- Dental Shield performs all of the collections and processing through automatic monthly credit card processing to the patient’s credit card. The practice receives a monthly payment for all current Dental Shield In-Clinic Plan memberships via wire or check.
- Dental Shield provides the platform to manage any in-house membership plan, helping to automate collections as well as track, manage and organize your plan including ours.
No more reasons to check on insurance availability or having a third party involved in your doctor-patient treatment planning relationship. The Dental Shield In-Clinic Plan will help any clinic rise above the rest.
