Last week, I had the pleasure of Consulting a new client on ways to grow his Dental Practice while maintaining a balance of work and family life. It is such a joy to have the opportunity to pass along the wisdom and experience I have gained in the past 22 years of dentistry and even to let others learn from the mistakes I made along the way. We had a wonderful conversation covering topics like:
- Maximizing the marketing benefit from his website, local listings and online presence,
- Calculating and collecting dental co-pays to maximize collections,
- Reducing overhead expenses,
- Tracking new patient phone calls,
- Forwarding the office phone line on days when the office is closed so that potential new patients are always able to contact the office during normal business hours,
- Creating desirable staff bonus plans,
- Running overdue insurance payment and outstanding patient balance reports,
- Increasing collection percentages,
- Improving PPO fee schedule reimbursement rates,
- Offering IV sedation and
- Using a monthly marketing schedule.
