Couple things. First, you’re probably already pretty good at financial arrangements, and two, financial arrangements are not going to make your patient experience, but they can break your patient.

We don’t want to scare and confuse our patients. So we want clarity. We want efficiency. We want effectiveness. We want to ensure that the financial arrangements are friendly but firm.

In this episode, I discuss how dental practices mess up financial arrangements. So if you want tighter case acceptance systems, prevent one-star patient reviews, and have seamless financial arrangements, so your life gets easier, tune in now!

  • “Surprises kill your reputation.”
  • “Case acceptance is not an event. Case acceptance starts when the patient first hears about you.”
