“Integrates with your PMS.” You will see that phrase on a lot of dental software websites. But it does not tell you much by itself. One platform may only read basic patient data. Another may update information in both directions. Another may technically connect but still leave the front desk responsible for several manual steps. […]

There is no shortage of moments when a dental practice could promote its membership plan. The problem is timing. Patients are not always thinking about benefits, pricing, or coverage. During Open Enrollment, they are. That makes benefits season one of the most natural times of year to promote an in-house dental membership plan. Patients Are […]

Why does open enrollment matter to your practice, not just your patients?

A dental membership plan is a subscription-based program offered directly by a dental practice, where patients pay a flat annual or monthly fee in exchange for preventive care and discounts on additional treatments. Think of it as the middle ground between traditional dental insurance and paying full out-of-pocket costs. […]
