As the end of the year approaches, dental practices have opportunities sitting right in front of them. Overdue hygiene patients, unscheduled appointments, outstanding balances, and unpaid insurance claims can all impact production and profitability.
In this episode, Dana and Sandy discuss how dental practices can finish the year strong by improving patient retention, strengthening recare systems, and collecting money they've already earned.
Sandy explains why pre-scheduling every hygiene patient may actually contribute to broken appointments, how to build a recare system that works, and why front office accountability is essential to keeping patients and collections on track.
