Revolutionizing Case Acceptance and Financial Management in Dental Practices
Bruce B. Baird, DDS
AcceptCare integrates seamlessly with existing dental practice management software, allowing staff to present treatment plans and payment options efficiently and clearly. By leveraging AcceptCare’s multi-lender network and Compassionate Finance, patients of all credit backgrounds have access to funding of up to $50,000. This empowers practices to maximize revenue by providing essential care to patients while eliminating uncomfortable financial discussions.
The user-friendly interface displays various payment options on a single screen, so staff can quickly address patient questions about treatment costs. Automated follow-up reminders and a powerful analytics suite enable practices to identify and track acceptance trends while maintaining communication with patients beyond their office visit. This automation reduces staff workload and is showing an increase in case acceptance rates up to 76%.
AcceptCare puts patients first by providing open-choice payment options, so no recommended treatments are delayed due to financial concerns. By simplifying treatment presentation and payment options, the platform nurtures trust and collaboration between staff and patients. The automated reminders are personalized, offering a convenient way for patients to review and accept treatment plans from the comfort of their phones after leaving the office. Over 24% of patients agree to treatment following these automated recalls.
Clarksburg Dental, a Maryland-based practice, demonstrated the platform’s impact by more than doubling its acceptance rate within two months. Their case acceptance jumped from 22% to 53%, filling their schedule and delivering the complete care patients needed.
Stephanie Walton of Walton Family Dentistry echoes this experience, citing the time saved reviewing unscheduled treatment and the ease of triaging barriers to treatment acceptance.
This transformative approach is reshaping dental care by allowing practices to focus on delivering excellent care, fostering trust, and tapping into untapped revenue streams. Dave Ternan, AcceptCare’s CEO, states the platform, “significantly increases patient case acceptance while improving the overall financial experience for patients and dental practices. We’re also boosting elective treatment by 15%.”
AcceptCare stands as a comprehensive solution for dental practices aiming to increase treatment acceptance and productivity, and unlock new revenue streams. By eliminating financial barriers and simplifying the presentation process, the platform empowers patients to make informed decisions about their oral health and practices to deliver optimal care. With AcceptCare, the dental industry is well-positioned for a future focused on collaboration and patient-centered treatment.
