Advertorial: Simplify Your Patient Plan in One Easy Step

The Dalai Lama once said that ‘simplicity is extremely important for happiness,’ and given our increasingly busy lives, we want and need that more than ever. Over time, myriad inventions have made our lives simpler, from the humble wheel to our interconnected computers, tablets and cellphones.

And the pursuit of a simpler and therefore happier life continues—for example, on the horizon is the ‘digital wallet’, potentially reducing queuing times. Now that would make things simpler and people happier!

To help in the increasingly challenging and fast-paced world of dentistry, Patient Plan Direct offers a low-cost, simple, flexible and practice-branded solution to running patient payment plans. Simply by not paying your plan provider for frills you don’t need, your practice life can be transformed.

Speaking about this approach to dental plans, Simon Reynolds, commercial director at Patient Plan Direct, commented: ‘Our solution to helping practices to run a successful payment plan is simple yet highly effective, incorporating the support, training and tools a practice needs.

‘Do you really need cocktails at flashy exhibition stands, golf days or trips abroad from your plan provider? We think that the world has enough challenges for us to worry about, without overcomplicating anything else,’ Reynolds said. ‘That’s why we’ve ensured our patient plans service is simple and easy, whilst providing the best value.

‘What’s more, each of our regional business development managers has more than 10?years of experience in practice, so you can rest assured that you’ll be in safe hands when it comes to us helping you reach your plan objectives.’

Meanwhile, if you’re worried that switching from your current provider to Patient Plan Direct would be a complicated process, think again: Patient Plan Direct is leading the way in using the new bulk-change process for practices that wish to switch plan administration from one provider to another.

This process allows for direct debits to be transferred automatically ‘in the background’ from one provider to another, without patients having to sign a new direct debit instruction, making life simpler and more convenient for everyone involved (see boxed text for further details).

Offering real-world insight into the process, the team at DB Dental had this to say: ‘We have made significant savings by switching to Patient Plan Direct—a process that was simple and successful. The level of service, support and advice has been outstanding.’
