~90% of US dental practices participate in one or more plans, and even nonparticipating practices may be missing a chance to increase production.
Practices can reach out to patients who will lose benefits at year-end, especially those with incomplete treatment and remaining coverage still available.
The outreach goal is simple: remind patients they still have benefits they are entitled to, and those benefits can help cover unfinished treatment.
This process often increases revenue by >$60K in an avg. US dental practice, giving teams a concrete reason to build year-end insurance outreach.
Practices should also track patients whose benefits renewed in Mid-Winter and who left treatment incomplete after declining care because prior benefits were already used.
