Membership Plans That Work: What Compliance Really Looks Like

Dental membership plans aren’t new—but compliance around them is becoming more critical than ever.

They discuss real-world misconceptions, why membership plans aren’t just for fee-for-service practices, and how the right tools (and the right vendor) make all the difference. Jane also shares exciting KPIs from real clients and explains how Plan Forward’s intuitive software puts your membership program on autopilot.
