Dental practices are increasingly feeling the pressure of declining reimbursement rates on their bottom line. According to a survey by Bankers Healthcare Group, nearly three-quarters of dentists state declining reimbursement rates as their top industry concern.
Forward-thinking dental practices are protecting themselves by offering in-house membership plans directly to their patients. Similar to loyalty programs such as Costco or Amazon Prime, patients pay a monthly or annual subscription fee directly to your practice and, in return, receive standard preventive care treatments and discounts on other procedure categories.
