Our clients are both in-network and out-of-network, while some are completely fee-for-service.
We offer value to both IN and OON providers because their patient base is diversified. Offering patients a membership option is a “value add”. Our offices often see a growing out-of-network patient base due to referrals to the program from friends and family. Beyond referrals, our team can help develop customized, branded marketing pieces to use in the office and around the community to funnel these types of patients to your practice. It is also not uncommon for patients to drop their insurance plans due to high premiums and limitations and switch to an in-office membership plan.
Other benefits include increased treatment acceptance and patient retention. Membership dentistry encourages patients to follow through on their presented treatment, return for preventative appointments, and stay on top of their recare schedule.
Offices that provide membership plans can guide patients toward the best option for their specific needs. Having a tool and service, like a private dental membership plan, shows that you care about your patients and are there to help them achieve their goals.
Smile Advantage has both types of dental offices that choose to add membership plans to their portfolio for these reasons. It works for all offices!
