AcceptCare Case Acceptance Platform Reports Strong Case Acceptance and Productivity Results
AcceptCare’s digital case acceptance platform, which has been updated to include a new tool to increase high-value treatment provided by dental practices, is delivering record results from practices across the country, according to data just released by the company.
The first all-in-one fee and treatment presentation software for dental offices, developed by Denver-based software company OrthoFi, released a report indicating an up to 76% case acceptance rate using AcceptCare, and 43% higher treatment acceptance than the average practice not using AcceptCare. Other highlights, according to the report, include: 24% of patients accept or pay for treatment from home, within 30 days post-consult; and a 15% increase in elective treatment production.
Clarksburg Dental in Maryland has experienced a substantial growth in case acceptance, jumping from 22% to 53% within 2 months. “We didn’t need to see the numbers to know our case acceptance has increased significantly since implementing AcceptCare—our schedule is filling up faster than ever!” Ed Lui, DDS, states in a press release.
AcceptCare provides a patient-centric financial experience that integrates custom open-choice payment options, a multi-lender network, automated follow-ups, and comprehensive analytics.
For those practices looking to increase high-value treatments like orthodontics, the platform has integrated a new Payment Slider tool where patients move around the slider to enter a down payment and monthly payment that fits within their budget. This slider then shows pre-qualified payment or loan offers, AcceptCare explains.
“Our goal with AcceptCare is to empower both patients and dentists,” AcceptCare CEO Dave Ternan adds in the press release. “By providing the Payment Slider, along with an open choice platform, we are removing awkward conversations about money and paving the way for more comprehensive, timely, and necessary treatments. This improves the patient’s health and well-being and presents untapped revenue opportunities for practices.”
The acceptance platform is designed to benefit busy practices, busy patients, and patients who may need some financial assistance to follow through on suggested treatments.
In today’s fast-paced world, dental practices face many challenges. Not only are clinicians focused on providing top-notch care, but they must ensure that patients can access the essential treatment they need without financial barriers. AcceptCare is designed to meet these challenges.
“We think the greatest value-adds that AcceptCare has brought to our practice are the time that we save not having to review unscheduled treatment, the simplicity of presenting complex treatment plans and being able to quickly triage the barrier to treatment acceptance,” says Stephanie Walton, patient coordinator and dental assistant with Walton Family Dentistry in Bardstown, Kentucky.
AcceptCare directly tackles the challenge that as many as 65% of proposed dental treatments go unaccepted by patients, the company says. With easy integration with existing dental software and automatic tracking and follow-up reminders, the platform is said to simplify the financial process and foster stronger communication and trust between patients and dental professionals.
Research shows that most Americans can’t cover an unplanned expense of $500.
AcceptCare reports that over 30% of patients choose a monthly option for treatments less than $1,000. Additionally, with AcceptCare, 50% of treatment is accepted vs. 35% in offices without AcceptCare.
“Our solution is redefining the dental industry. We significantly increase patient case acceptance while improving the overall financial experience for patients and dental practices,” continues Ternan.
