Membership Plans Grow Your Practice and Help Your Patients
What is a Dental Membership Plan?
The concept is similar to Netflix or Amazon Prime; patients pay a fixed monthly rate in exchange for preventative care like exams, cleanings and fluoride.
Membership plans allow for dentists and patients to be the ONLY decisions makers for treatment plans. They eliminate hassles and limitations that occur with traditional insurance.
They also create predictable cash flow for a practice (revenue that is independent of insurance) and gives patients a valuable benefit plan.

Why Should Use Dental Membership Software?
Using software can drastically reduce or even eliminate many administrative processes and potential human error. Some software companies will also help providers create, implement, manage, and market plans.
Without software, a membership plan is essentially discounting your fees and collecting every other visit. Patients are happy, but how is it helping your business? When you put that same plan into a software, it now becomes a cash flow machine that doesn’t rely on one person in the office to manage. Now the membership program runs itself no matter who is behind the desk.

Dental Membership Plan Reviews
"Our plan was custom tailored to the fees that we charge and for the patients we are trying to target, specifically new retirees that need a reason to stay with our practice once they lose their dental benefits. Besides the steady income generated each month, we noticed an uptick of treatment acceptance by those patients who want to get the most 'value' from their membership."
Dr. Kristen Donohue"Our patients love that we are able to offer this type of membership! The platform makes it easy for our office to manage their memberships, including monthly billing options."
Shari Blair"Insurance plan reimbursement rates are declining while administrative overhead needed to manage the insurance plans is increasing. We wanted to develop a program that would benefit our patients and help us dilute the dominance of dental insurance plans on our business. After the first successful year I can confidently say our plan worked."
