How to Keep More Cash-Pay Patients: Dental Membership Strategies That Actually Work
Description
Dropping insurance and trying to attract more cash-paying patients? You can’t afford to miss these strategies. This one’s for you.
In this episode, dental membership expert Paul Lowry shares exactly how practices can reduce their insurance dependence, retain more cash-pay patients, and finally build a membership plan that works for their dental office.
Learn how to design a plan that keeps patients loyal, boosts profitability, and takes pressure off your front office team.
Here’s what we cover:
- Why most in-house dental membership plans don’t actually retain patients
- The biggest myths about going out-of-network
- How to start dropping underperforming PPOs without hurting your schedule
- Why your “VIP” plan might be acting like a one-time discount (and how to change that)
- How to build a real revenue stream from cash-pay patients
- Systems that support team accountability—and eliminate front desk guesswork
