How To Create, Organize, And Automate Your In-House Dental Practice Membership Plan With Jordan Comstock
According to recent statistics, 55% of American’s don’t have dental insurance. And if your practice is only serving the 45% of patients that do, you’re leaving a ton of money (and profit) on the table. One way to serve those without insurance is to offer an in-house membership plan, but when done improperly, it can often be more of a headache than a plus. Fortunately, there’s a method to the madness when it comes to in-house membership plans, which is why I’m excited to have today’s guest Jordon Comstock on the show. Jordon...

As technology continues to transform the dental industry, the world of insurance and credentialing has become increasingly complex.
