INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 3,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Plan Forward, a leading dental
software company enabling dental membership plans, has reported
results from three DSO customers that further quantify the
business value of cash-pay alternatives.
A DSO with 37 clinics in 9 states designed its membership plans
to prioritize increased production and hygiene visits with
service-rich plans at a premium price point. Resulting total
production among plan members is up 260% compared to cash-pay
patients at the same practice, which amounts to an increase of
$1,206 per member.
At a different DSO with 27 clinics throughout the Midwest,
leadership worked with Plan Forward to craft membership plans
focused on improving rates of treatment acceptance. Since
implementing their plan, total production among members is up 170%
compared with cash-pay patients with the majority of that increase
coming from a 1.9x increase in restorative care (equivalent to
$551 per member).
A third DSO focused its membership plans on increasing visits
and cultivating patient loyalty. Results after 17 months show
members visiting an average of five times in their first year of
membership compared with just two visits among cash-pay patients,
and more than half of cash-pay patients converting to membership.
In addition to the clinical advantages of frequent patient visits,
this plan shows gains in production for both hygiene (+200%) and
restorative (140%).
"These practices are great examples of how to leverage both the
power of the platform and the strategic guidance of our customer
success team," said Megan Lohman,
Founder and Co-CEO of Plan Forward. "Their bespoke membership plans
demonstrate that they truly understand their patients, giving their
businesses a competitive advantage that will make them more
resilient."
Other practices report utilizing their plans as a strategic tool
to help expand their services, including cosmetic treatments,
orthodontics, and laser services. "This data reminds us that there
are no one-size-fits-all membership plans. We built Plan Forward to
give DSOs the flexibility they need to create membership plans that
deliver the results that matter to them," said Jane Levy, Co-CEO of Plan Forward.
