Remember the Essentials…

If you want to get serious about practice growth, then it’s important to start with the essentials. For dental practices it is essential to have excellent systems in place.

Your clinical systems must be excellent of course, but that is not enough. If you don’t have enough patients and you don’t have the right business systems in place, the clinical systems will remain woefully underutilized.

Comprehensive systems with checklists and scripting to support your marketing and operations are essential. Does your team have the right systems to attract patients and run the practice?

Businesses are about constant refinement, and dental practices are no different. Just as you upgrade your clinical procedures regularly you need to upgrade and rebalance your management or marketing systems also.

One of the main reasons that schedules have open time is no-shows and last-minute cancellations.

No-shows will cost you millions of dollars in lost revenue over the course of your career – literally $3,000,000–$6,000,000. Unfilled chair time can never be recovered. And a last-minute cancellation is the same as a no-show. If you can’t fill it in, you’ll still lose chair time that can never be recovered. Set a target of no-shows being less than 2% and work to achieve it.

Know Your Codes!
If you want to increase practice production, make sure you are using insurance codes properly. We meet practice after practice that is still submitting either outdated codes or incorrect codes for procedures, frequently for lower reimbursements. Keeping the team up to date with insurance coding is a critical element in increasing production, especially when insurance companies are lowering reimbursements. Insurance coding is not a game. It is a critical part of a responsible practice.

Capturing new patients

Your new patient system is one of the most powerful to increase practice production. It should have three parts:

1. Scheduling the new patient
2. Having the new patient show up for the appointment
3. Having the new patient accept recommended treatment
Each of these parts must be analyzed, broken up into steps, given the appropriate scripts and measured for results. For example, do you know how many of your new patient callers actually end up scheduling an appointment? And of those, how many show up? In many practices up to 15% - 20% of new patients that call of practice never make an appointment. This means that in some practices one out of every five new patient callers never schedules, depriving the practice of the opportunity to capture them as a new patient. It is ESSENTIAL to know your numbers when it comes to new patients. Once you do, you will know exactly where you can improve performance and increase practice product.
