1
00:00:00,345 --> 00:00:01,405
- Hi everyone, and thank you

2
00:00:01,405 --> 00:00:03,885
for tuning into the Becker's
Healthcare podcast series.

3
00:00:04,185 --> 00:00:05,565
My name is Corrine Anos

4
00:00:05,565 --> 00:00:07,485
and I am the Director
of Marketing at Clear.

5
00:00:08,065 --> 00:00:11,245
In today's episode, I'll be
speaking with Dave Monaghan, CEO

6
00:00:11,265 --> 00:00:13,805
and founder of Clear, as
he peels back the layers

7
00:00:13,865 --> 00:00:15,125
of dental patient behavior

8
00:00:15,385 --> 00:00:17,165
and the impact on practice performance.

9
00:00:17,735 --> 00:00:20,285
We'll discuss the potential
pitfalls of failing

10
00:00:20,385 --> 00:00:23,045
to maximize the value of
your uninsured patients,

11
00:00:23,555 --> 00:00:25,565
blindly participating in PPOs

12
00:00:26,025 --> 00:00:28,445
and acquiring new
locations without a focus

13
00:00:28,545 --> 00:00:29,685
on same store growth.

14
00:00:30,435 --> 00:00:33,645
Dave is also going to share
a path for dental practices

15
00:00:33,645 --> 00:00:37,445
and DSOs to amplify performance
that's both data-driven

16
00:00:38,045 --> 00:00:39,325
and patient-centric.

17
00:00:40,105 --> 00:00:43,125
Now, before we get started,
Dave, most listeners know you

18
00:00:43,125 --> 00:00:45,765
as the CEO of Clear, so
I'd like to take a moment

19
00:00:45,905 --> 00:00:47,725
and have you share a bit
about how you got here.

20
00:00:47,995 --> 00:00:51,205
What was the professional path
that you paved that led you

21
00:00:51,205 --> 00:00:53,845
to become such an entrepreneur
in the healthcare industry?

22
00:00:54,905 --> 00:00:56,245
- Uh, thanks Grant.

23
00:00:56,545 --> 00:00:59,165
Um, yeah, I guess going back,

24
00:00:59,365 --> 00:01:01,645
I actually started in
the engineering world,

25
00:01:01,825 --> 00:01:03,485
so I actually have an engineering degree.

26
00:01:04,025 --> 00:01:05,925
Um, I actually got an MBA as well.

27
00:01:06,385 --> 00:01:08,885
So as I was doing engineering
work at Northrop Grumman,

28
00:01:08,885 --> 00:01:10,445
we were doing, uh, sensors

29
00:01:10,665 --> 00:01:13,365
and, uh, avionic systems
for fighter aircraft

30
00:01:13,365 --> 00:01:16,605
and drones decided that that
wasn't the path I wanted

31
00:01:16,605 --> 00:01:18,005
to go down for the rest of my life.

32
00:01:18,345 --> 00:01:19,965
And I branched out

33
00:01:19,965 --> 00:01:22,685
and started heading down
the business side of things.

34
00:01:22,705 --> 00:01:25,405
And so I ended up getting
a job at Microsoft, uh,

35
00:01:25,745 --> 00:01:27,005
in, on their business side.

36
00:01:27,065 --> 00:01:31,245
But what I had w was doing
there was we were doing a lot

37
00:01:31,245 --> 00:01:32,245
of partnering work

38
00:01:32,465 --> 00:01:33,685
and a lot of, um,

39
00:01:34,445 --> 00:01:36,645
I actually got into some
healthcare work at the same time

40
00:01:37,265 --> 00:01:41,845
and started to get a passion
around sort of that combination

41
00:01:41,985 --> 00:01:43,325
of health and tech.

42
00:01:43,905 --> 00:01:47,045
Um, and I actually ended
up leaving Microsoft a

43
00:01:47,045 --> 00:01:50,645
after about eight years, and I
became CEO of a small startup

44
00:01:51,065 --> 00:01:53,445
and we were focused on creating fitness

45
00:01:53,745 --> 00:01:54,885
and wearable devices.

46
00:01:55,385 --> 00:01:57,845
Um, our claim to fame if, uh,

47
00:01:57,845 --> 00:02:00,405
anybody's old enough in the
audience is we created the Nike

48
00:02:00,435 --> 00:02:03,725
Plus product that went into
the shoe and tracked your runs

49
00:02:03,865 --> 00:02:04,925
and recorded it

50
00:02:04,925 --> 00:02:08,085
and sent it wirelessly into
your iPod at the time, uh,

51
00:02:08,345 --> 00:02:10,005
and eventually into the iPhone.

52
00:02:10,465 --> 00:02:13,485
Uh, and we sold many, many
millions of those devices.

53
00:02:13,825 --> 00:02:17,165
Um, in parallel to that,
we actually created a, uh,

54
00:02:17,275 --> 00:02:19,325
another line of product that was our own

55
00:02:19,345 --> 00:02:23,365
and branded under our own, uh,
uh, company that we sold to,

56
00:02:23,365 --> 00:02:24,205
fitness companies,

57
00:02:24,365 --> 00:02:25,685
wellness companies, and
healthcare companies.

58
00:02:26,025 --> 00:02:28,885
And they would embed our
sensors inside programs

59
00:02:29,305 --> 00:02:31,805
for things like diabetes management, um,

60
00:02:32,385 --> 00:02:34,645
for weight loss for general wellness.

61
00:02:35,065 --> 00:02:36,245
And so we had about 60

62
00:02:36,305 --> 00:02:39,485
or 70 healthcare providers
building applications on top

63
00:02:39,485 --> 00:02:42,405
of our device infrastructure
and data infrastructure.

64
00:02:43,025 --> 00:02:47,005
Um, that's when I really sort
of got into the combination

65
00:02:47,005 --> 00:02:49,165
of, uh, healthcare and technology.

66
00:02:49,625 --> 00:02:51,365
We ended up exiting that company.

67
00:02:51,385 --> 00:02:53,245
We, we ended up selling it in 2016.

68
00:02:53,865 --> 00:02:58,525
Um, I ran into just totally
on the side, just, uh,

69
00:02:58,685 --> 00:03:00,245
a happenstance, ran in as somebody

70
00:03:00,245 --> 00:03:02,925
who owned six dental practices
and was also an investor.

71
00:03:03,545 --> 00:03:05,045
And he and I started talking.

72
00:03:05,445 --> 00:03:08,445
I had no idea about the
dental space at the time,

73
00:03:09,065 --> 00:03:11,885
and got very intrigued when
he brought up that a lot

74
00:03:11,885 --> 00:03:13,405
of his patients didn't come in very often

75
00:03:13,465 --> 00:03:14,525
or not as often as they should,

76
00:03:14,985 --> 00:03:18,765
and that insurers were very,
very difficult to deal with.

77
00:03:19,105 --> 00:03:22,005
And so that is what led me into dentistry.

78
00:03:22,965 --> 00:03:25,055
- Sometimes they say it's all
about the people, you know,

79
00:03:25,055 --> 00:03:27,375
Dave, so it's good to have that network.

80
00:03:27,995 --> 00:03:31,095
Can you tell me more about
how the vision, specifically

81
00:03:31,095 --> 00:03:32,775
of Building Clear came

82
00:03:32,775 --> 00:03:36,135
to be then once you knew
about Dental, knew you wanted

83
00:03:36,295 --> 00:03:39,015
to dive into it, how did Clear come about?

84
00:03:39,075 --> 00:03:42,855
And then were you expecting
this massive positive impact

85
00:03:42,855 --> 00:03:44,695
that it has had on the market so far?

86
00:03:45,845 --> 00:03:48,065
- So when I ran into this investor

87
00:03:48,085 --> 00:03:51,145
and owner of Six Dental
Practices, I got intrigued

88
00:03:51,525 --> 00:03:53,425
and we, we decided,

89
00:03:53,425 --> 00:03:55,305
like I was planning actually
taking some time off.

90
00:03:55,365 --> 00:03:58,505
We decided, you know what,
why don't he, he's like,

91
00:03:58,505 --> 00:04:01,065
why don't you just come in,
take a look at my practices,

92
00:04:01,065 --> 00:04:02,585
take a look at some of
the things we're doing

93
00:04:02,685 --> 00:04:03,945
and determine if there's something

94
00:04:03,945 --> 00:04:05,105
here you might wanna work on.

95
00:04:05,105 --> 00:04:08,025
Right? And so it was just a
broad sort of, Hey, why not?

96
00:04:08,025 --> 00:04:10,705
Right? And so I actually spent six months,

97
00:04:10,785 --> 00:04:12,465
I hired a market research firm.

98
00:04:13,105 --> 00:04:14,185
I spent six months going

99
00:04:14,185 --> 00:04:16,225
to his dental practices
talking to the offices.

100
00:04:16,535 --> 00:04:19,425
Plus I had a market
research firm doing, uh,

101
00:04:19,595 --> 00:04:21,945
broad market research
and surveys nationally,

102
00:04:22,645 --> 00:04:23,705
but also focus groups.

103
00:04:23,805 --> 00:04:26,745
So we would bring dentists
into a, uh, focus group

104
00:04:26,745 --> 00:04:28,385
of like eight to 10 of
them in a room together,

105
00:04:28,385 --> 00:04:29,465
and we'd ask them questions.

106
00:04:29,725 --> 00:04:32,105
Uh, we did the same things with patients

107
00:04:32,165 --> 00:04:33,585
and we, we talked to both insured

108
00:04:33,605 --> 00:04:35,785
and uninsured patients,
two separate focus groups.

109
00:04:36,245 --> 00:04:38,545
And what we're trying to do is
understand is there anything

110
00:04:38,545 --> 00:04:39,865
happening in the dental space that'd be

111
00:04:39,865 --> 00:04:41,905
of interest from a technology perspective?

112
00:04:42,125 --> 00:04:45,585
And what we end up realizing
is exactly what, you know,

113
00:04:45,585 --> 00:04:46,705
clear was sort of built around, which is

114
00:04:46,705 --> 00:04:47,865
there was a big disconnect.

115
00:04:47,865 --> 00:04:51,465
So patients wanted more
dental care practices, wanted

116
00:04:51,465 --> 00:04:52,665
to provide more dental care,

117
00:04:53,125 --> 00:04:54,705
and at the same time,
practices were dealing

118
00:04:54,775 --> 00:04:57,425
with a horrible coverage model
model called Dental insurance

119
00:04:57,425 --> 00:04:59,225
and PPOs that they absolutely hated.

120
00:04:59,285 --> 00:05:01,785
And the level of hate, I can't
tell you how deep it was,

121
00:05:01,965 --> 00:05:04,705
it was a passionate,
deep hate to the core.

122
00:05:05,205 --> 00:05:07,385
And I was shocked by
that the level of passion

123
00:05:07,445 --> 00:05:08,945
and, uh, hatred that came out.

124
00:05:09,085 --> 00:05:10,705
So, so that was you.

125
00:05:10,805 --> 00:05:13,545
So you asked me did I think
it was gonna be like what I,

126
00:05:13,665 --> 00:05:17,265
I should from all that work,
what I decided was we needed

127
00:05:17,265 --> 00:05:18,865
to create a subscription
model that got rid

128
00:05:18,865 --> 00:05:20,025
of the middle person, right?

129
00:05:20,245 --> 00:05:22,905
And directly connected the
patients to the practices

130
00:05:22,905 --> 00:05:24,625
that would give the patients
the coverage they were asking

131
00:05:24,645 --> 00:05:27,345
for when we talked to 'em
in these, uh, focus groups.

132
00:05:27,605 --> 00:05:29,945
And would get rid of that, uh, person in

133
00:05:29,945 --> 00:05:31,785
that middle band in the
middle between the dentist

134
00:05:31,845 --> 00:05:34,265
and the patient that the
dentist wanted to get rid of.

135
00:05:34,365 --> 00:05:36,305
So you asked me, sort of, would I,

136
00:05:36,325 --> 00:05:39,705
did I think it was gonna be
like a, you know, uh, take off

137
00:05:39,725 --> 00:05:40,825
or be really popular?

138
00:05:41,825 --> 00:05:43,585
I did, and I know that's a, uh, sort of,

139
00:05:43,585 --> 00:05:44,705
some people would say, no, you didn't.

140
00:05:44,705 --> 00:05:46,745
And I was like, actually I did.

141
00:05:46,765 --> 00:05:49,225
And actually anybody who was
doing the market research

142
00:05:49,295 --> 00:05:50,585
with me will know the moment.

143
00:05:50,845 --> 00:05:53,465
So there was a moment when we
were doing a focus group with,

144
00:05:53,465 --> 00:05:55,665
there was eight or nine dentists
around the table talking

145
00:05:55,725 --> 00:05:56,825
and that passion came out

146
00:05:56,825 --> 00:05:58,805
and I, hatred came out for the shores.

147
00:05:59,425 --> 00:06:01,685
And in focus groups you have a moderator

148
00:06:01,685 --> 00:06:03,725
who sits in the middle
and just asks questions

149
00:06:03,745 --> 00:06:05,085
and keeps the conversation going

150
00:06:05,185 --> 00:06:06,405
and digs as they hear things.

151
00:06:07,255 --> 00:06:11,135
I actually was behind a mirror
like watching and listening,

152
00:06:11,795 --> 00:06:13,815
and I called a time out

153
00:06:14,135 --> 00:06:15,575
'cause I heard the passion and everything.

154
00:06:16,255 --> 00:06:18,535
I walked, I, I walked
around into the room,

155
00:06:18,935 --> 00:06:20,295
I told the moderator he could go

156
00:06:20,395 --> 00:06:22,175
and I stepped in as the moderator.

157
00:06:22,795 --> 00:06:25,655
And that day talking to those dentists,

158
00:06:25,855 --> 00:06:27,375
I knew we were gonna have a product

159
00:06:27,375 --> 00:06:28,615
that was gonna be successful.

160
00:06:28,975 --> 00:06:30,575
'cause you could just
hear it across the board.

161
00:06:30,575 --> 00:06:32,855
Everybody agreed there was an issue

162
00:06:32,925 --> 00:06:34,095
that needed to be solved.

163
00:06:34,605 --> 00:06:37,095
- Sure, yeah. Wow, that's a great story.

164
00:06:37,475 --> 00:06:40,255
So now Clear is working

165
00:06:40,325 --> 00:06:43,775
with over 10,000 dentists
across the United States,

166
00:06:44,275 --> 00:06:46,695
and we're providing this coverage care in

167
00:06:46,695 --> 00:06:47,775
the form of membership plans.

168
00:06:48,435 --> 00:06:50,055
Can you talk about some of the research

169
00:06:50,195 --> 00:06:53,335
and the data that you've
collected to identify some

170
00:06:53,335 --> 00:06:56,175
of the most common trends
in patient behavior?

171
00:06:56,975 --> 00:07:01,215
- Absolutely. So we, so
as you said, we work with

172
00:07:02,295 --> 00:07:03,415
thousands and thousands

173
00:07:03,415 --> 00:07:05,135
of dentists over 10,000 at this point.

174
00:07:05,315 --> 00:07:07,975
Um, and that goes all the
way from the solo practice up

175
00:07:08,035 --> 00:07:09,575
to large DSOs.

176
00:07:09,675 --> 00:07:11,055
It crosses the whole spectrum.

177
00:07:11,595 --> 00:07:15,335
Um, in about three years
ago, we started integrating

178
00:07:15,335 --> 00:07:16,535
with practice management systems.

179
00:07:16,875 --> 00:07:20,215
So we could now pull the data
from the practices on our

180
00:07:20,455 --> 00:07:22,295
platform and start analyzing
their data for them.

181
00:07:22,435 --> 00:07:24,655
And that data, as everybody
knows, there's a rich set

182
00:07:24,655 --> 00:07:26,615
of data in there, both patient
data and practice data.

183
00:07:27,435 --> 00:07:30,055
And so what we wanted to see was we,

184
00:07:30,055 --> 00:07:31,055
we didn't wanna just build clear

185
00:07:31,055 --> 00:07:32,415
to build clear and sell software.

186
00:07:32,415 --> 00:07:34,375
We wanted to build clear to, um,

187
00:07:34,565 --> 00:07:37,175
basically have an impact
on patient engagement

188
00:07:37,175 --> 00:07:38,335
and practice performance.

189
00:07:38,335 --> 00:07:39,575
That was the goal. Um,

190
00:07:40,355 --> 00:07:42,335
and so we wanted to see
are we having the effect?

191
00:07:42,515 --> 00:07:45,335
And so we can pull all this
data back, we start analyzing,

192
00:07:45,395 --> 00:07:47,975
we analyze, analyze it
right now at two levels,

193
00:07:48,125 --> 00:07:50,655
patient behavior and what
are the patients doing.

194
00:07:50,995 --> 00:07:54,175
And then the second piece is
we look, actually look at PPO

195
00:07:54,175 --> 00:07:56,455
and dental insurance
performance for the practice.

196
00:07:56,455 --> 00:07:58,335
And how does that sort of behave or,

197
00:07:58,395 --> 00:07:59,455
or perform for a practice?

198
00:07:59,455 --> 00:08:00,895
So let me go back to
patients for a second.

199
00:08:01,895 --> 00:08:05,075
We, uh, will break
patients down into their

200
00:08:05,785 --> 00:08:08,275
uninsured patients who don't have clear,

201
00:08:08,325 --> 00:08:09,435
don't have insurance, so they

202
00:08:09,435 --> 00:08:10,475
just come in and they pay cash.

203
00:08:11,055 --> 00:08:13,155
The second set of patients
is insured patients.

204
00:08:13,155 --> 00:08:15,595
So they have Delta Dental or
MetLife or Aetna or whatever.

205
00:08:16,015 --> 00:08:17,475
And then there's the clear patients

206
00:08:17,495 --> 00:08:18,995
who have bought co coverage

207
00:08:18,995 --> 00:08:20,755
or subscription through
the clear platform.

208
00:08:21,175 --> 00:08:25,395
And we look at visits,
treatment, acceptance, production

209
00:08:25,495 --> 00:08:28,395
and collections across those
three cohorts of patients.

210
00:08:29,175 --> 00:08:31,595
And what's incredible is the consistency

211
00:08:31,595 --> 00:08:33,835
of this data is sort of insane.

212
00:08:33,935 --> 00:08:36,555
It doesn't matter if the solo
practice, the DSO practice,

213
00:08:36,575 --> 00:08:38,195
it doesn't matter if it's in California

214
00:08:38,255 --> 00:08:40,395
or if it's in Wisconsin
or if it's in Florida.

215
00:08:40,935 --> 00:08:43,835
The data is incredibly consistent.

216
00:08:44,175 --> 00:08:47,875
And what it shows is, if
a patient has coverage,

217
00:08:47,895 --> 00:08:49,955
let me broadly define that
as if they have insurance

218
00:08:50,015 --> 00:08:52,475
or they have clear
they're gonna come in two

219
00:08:52,475 --> 00:08:54,835
to three times more often,
they'll accept twice the amount

220
00:08:54,835 --> 00:08:56,405
of of care, two to three times more care.

221
00:08:56,905 --> 00:08:59,285
Uh, production's gonna be
two to three times higher.

222
00:08:59,475 --> 00:09:00,645
Like it's a given.

223
00:09:00,705 --> 00:09:02,205
If they have coverage,
they come in more often,

224
00:09:02,205 --> 00:09:03,285
they accept a lot more treatment.

225
00:09:03,585 --> 00:09:05,565
Uh, and by the way, that
isn't just in dentistry,

226
00:09:05,565 --> 00:09:08,125
that's in any model you
ever wanna go look at.

227
00:09:08,125 --> 00:09:10,925
If somebody's in a coverage,
uh, model, subscription model,

228
00:09:10,925 --> 00:09:14,045
membership model, they do on
average over two times the

229
00:09:14,045 --> 00:09:16,645
amount of, uh, activity
that a non-subscriber does.

230
00:09:16,665 --> 00:09:18,005
So anyway, insurance

231
00:09:18,105 --> 00:09:20,725
and membership plans drive
patients into the practice.

232
00:09:21,225 --> 00:09:23,565
And then once you look at
the data, okay, that's great

233
00:09:23,625 --> 00:09:24,845
and that's, you know, a huge

234
00:09:24,845 --> 00:09:26,085
difference from the uninsured patients.

235
00:09:26,085 --> 00:09:27,765
But once you look at those
patients between clear

236
00:09:27,765 --> 00:09:29,685
and insured, what you see is

237
00:09:30,285 --> 00:09:32,485
a practice will collect
anywhere between 30

238
00:09:32,485 --> 00:09:34,205
and 40% more revenue

239
00:09:35,035 --> 00:09:36,965
with a clear patient
over an insured patient.

240
00:09:37,185 --> 00:09:41,085
Why is that? Except everybody
knows the insurers keep a

241
00:09:41,095 --> 00:09:42,925
large percentage, almost 40%

242
00:09:43,305 --> 00:09:45,125
of what's paid into an insurance plan.

243
00:09:45,225 --> 00:09:48,125
So Clear sort of creates
the best of both worlds

244
00:09:48,125 --> 00:09:51,525
where your patient comes in,
they accept more treatment, uh,

245
00:09:51,525 --> 00:09:53,885
they're more loyal to your practice, uh,

246
00:09:54,035 --> 00:09:56,325
they pay their bills, the, the, uh,

247
00:09:56,865 --> 00:09:59,405
the collection rate on
our platforms over 99%.

248
00:09:59,785 --> 00:10:02,285
Um, and so they just become
the best patient possible

249
00:10:02,285 --> 00:10:04,085
with coverage who comes
in often, you know,

250
00:10:04,085 --> 00:10:06,645
accepts treatment and pays
versus an insured patient

251
00:10:06,645 --> 00:10:08,165
that you have this huge discount on.

252
00:10:08,545 --> 00:10:10,965
Uh, again, consistent
practice of practice.

253
00:10:11,065 --> 00:10:13,605
The other thing we do is we
look at the PPOs themselves

254
00:10:13,945 --> 00:10:17,125
and we compare how they different
PPOs behave in a practice.

255
00:10:17,125 --> 00:10:19,405
So you might have Delta Dental,
MetLife, Aetna, and so on.

256
00:10:19,905 --> 00:10:22,125
Um, and what you see there consistently,

257
00:10:22,155 --> 00:10:24,965
amazingly consistently is the
discounts offered under those

258
00:10:24,965 --> 00:10:27,085
plans are anywhere between 30 and 40%.

259
00:10:28,085 --> 00:10:31,485
And there's a line that
practices cross where they start

260
00:10:31,485 --> 00:10:32,885
to lose money under those plans.

261
00:10:33,035 --> 00:10:36,925
What we're seeing is the
line is about 30, 35%.

262
00:10:36,955 --> 00:10:39,765
Once you're providing that deep
of a discount off your UCR,

263
00:10:39,765 --> 00:10:41,805
it gets very difficult to
be a profitable practice.

264
00:10:41,805 --> 00:10:44,765
That varies a little bit, but
some of these PPOs are as low

265
00:10:44,765 --> 00:10:47,725
as 40% collections on the UCR.

266
00:10:47,945 --> 00:10:51,525
Um, so anyway, what we do
actually use, we'll stack up the,

267
00:10:51,745 --> 00:10:55,085
the PPOs next to each other
and show the practice.

268
00:10:55,625 --> 00:10:57,765
All right? This is a low producing PPO

269
00:10:57,765 --> 00:10:59,125
that's offering a deep discount.

270
00:10:59,225 --> 00:11:01,525
You should get out of
network with that PPO, right?

271
00:11:01,945 --> 00:11:05,365
You might have a high producer
that is also low production,

272
00:11:05,365 --> 00:11:07,205
that's harder to get away from that.

273
00:11:07,225 --> 00:11:08,325
That's gonna take some time.

274
00:11:08,465 --> 00:11:11,565
But you can actually start
crafting a strategy for managing

275
00:11:11,625 --> 00:11:15,005
and, uh, you know, your network
of PPOs, which ones work,

276
00:11:15,005 --> 00:11:16,685
which ones don't, how you manage

277
00:11:16,705 --> 00:11:17,885
to, to get out of the network.

278
00:11:18,345 --> 00:11:20,045
And by the way, the
membership plan provides

279
00:11:20,045 --> 00:11:21,325
that backstop for the patient.

280
00:11:21,385 --> 00:11:23,125
As you get outta network, you can

281
00:11:23,325 --> 00:11:24,445
offer the membership line to them.

282
00:11:24,995 --> 00:11:26,685
- Yeah, yeah, that's great.

283
00:11:26,795 --> 00:11:29,725
Very helpful to break it down
too into those two categories.

284
00:11:30,065 --> 00:11:32,485
So what is the cost

285
00:11:32,915 --> 00:11:36,525
that a practice is gonna
face if they do nothing,

286
00:11:36,675 --> 00:11:40,405
meaning they're not working
to optimize their PPO

287
00:11:40,925 --> 00:11:43,005
participation strategy,
they're not taking your

288
00:11:43,005 --> 00:11:45,725
recommendations, they're
not finding ways to kind

289
00:11:45,725 --> 00:11:48,325
of maximize that value
of their patient base.

290
00:11:49,425 --> 00:11:52,475
- Yeah, so it's, uh, it's
probably on a probably three

291
00:11:52,475 --> 00:11:54,875
or four different, uh, sort

292
00:11:54,875 --> 00:11:56,475
of whatever tangents on this one.

293
00:11:56,475 --> 00:12:00,155
So one is if they're not
managing their PPO network,

294
00:12:00,955 --> 00:12:02,435
I guarantee you they're struggling

295
00:12:02,435 --> 00:12:03,675
to run a profitable practice.

296
00:12:04,015 --> 00:12:07,035
If they have 10 or 15 PPOs
that they're in network with,

297
00:12:07,465 --> 00:12:09,475
it's gonna be incredibly
difficult to be profitable

298
00:12:09,475 --> 00:12:10,635
and it's going go get worse.

299
00:12:10,655 --> 00:12:13,155
And everybody knows that, right?
Reimbursements never go up.

300
00:12:13,425 --> 00:12:16,035
Cost of running a practice
does go up constantly.

301
00:12:16,035 --> 00:12:19,075
Constantly, right? And so what
we're seeing for practices is

302
00:12:19,075 --> 00:12:20,275
that point has been crossed

303
00:12:20,645 --> 00:12:22,835
where if you're not managing your PPOs,

304
00:12:22,855 --> 00:12:23,995
you you're gonna have serious

305
00:12:24,015 --> 00:12:25,435
issues running a profitable practice.

306
00:12:25,475 --> 00:12:29,115
I think that's the first,
uh, sort of cost, uh,

307
00:12:29,315 --> 00:12:30,675
a price a practice pays.

308
00:12:30,975 --> 00:12:32,595
And some of your
patients, I guarantee you,

309
00:12:32,595 --> 00:12:34,475
because we see this in
practice, we analyze,

310
00:12:34,815 --> 00:12:37,955
you're paying basically the
insurer to see their patients.

311
00:12:37,955 --> 00:12:39,995
That's how, because you lose money on 'em.

312
00:12:39,995 --> 00:12:42,075
So that's profitable
practice is number one.

313
00:12:42,495 --> 00:12:44,475
The second one is that this one's the,

314
00:12:44,595 --> 00:12:47,515
I think actually I feel, uh,
this one's more important, one

315
00:12:47,515 --> 00:12:48,875
that I think people should internalize.

316
00:12:49,575 --> 00:12:51,355
The patients you have that are uninsured

317
00:12:51,355 --> 00:12:52,715
aren't getting the care they need.

318
00:12:53,215 --> 00:12:55,995
So they're not covered, they avoid visits.

319
00:12:56,575 --> 00:12:58,395
On average, these uninsured patients come

320
00:12:58,395 --> 00:12:59,475
in once every two years.

321
00:12:59,945 --> 00:13:02,075
They're not getting the
preventative care they need.

322
00:13:02,075 --> 00:13:03,275
They're not, you know, uh,

323
00:13:03,275 --> 00:13:04,555
addressing caries and things like that.

324
00:13:05,095 --> 00:13:07,355
So their health is
suffering because of that.

325
00:13:07,495 --> 00:13:09,395
So just being able to
provide them some type

326
00:13:09,395 --> 00:13:10,995
of coverage model, you
know, they're gonna come in,

327
00:13:10,995 --> 00:13:12,435
they're getting the care they need, uh,

328
00:13:12,695 --> 00:13:13,755
and they'll be healthier.

329
00:13:13,815 --> 00:13:16,235
So number two is the cost is not having

330
00:13:16,875 --> 00:13:17,915
patients getting the care they need.

331
00:13:18,015 --> 00:13:21,555
The third one is there's a big
opportunity sitting in every

332
00:13:21,915 --> 00:13:23,755
practice and it, it comes in two forms.

333
00:13:24,655 --> 00:13:26,155
One form is the one I already mentioned,

334
00:13:26,155 --> 00:13:28,315
which is the active
uninsured patients coming in

335
00:13:28,315 --> 00:13:30,555
but not coming in very often
and providing them coverage.

336
00:13:30,555 --> 00:13:32,315
They'll come in more often
and get more treatment, right?

337
00:13:32,315 --> 00:13:33,995
And dry production up and collections up.

338
00:13:34,135 --> 00:13:35,395
So that's opportunity number one.

339
00:13:35,665 --> 00:13:37,235
Typically in a practice on the average,

340
00:13:37,265 --> 00:13:40,355
what we see is there's about
250 to 300 of those types

341
00:13:40,355 --> 00:13:42,035
of patients per dentist.

342
00:13:42,135 --> 00:13:43,435
In a practice like one dentist,

343
00:13:43,685 --> 00:13:45,795
let's say it's 250 active uninsured,

344
00:13:45,935 --> 00:13:47,275
two dentists, it's now 500.

345
00:13:47,815 --> 00:13:49,915
You can double the
production of those patients

346
00:13:49,915 --> 00:13:51,195
by offering a membership plan.

347
00:13:51,255 --> 00:13:52,995
So there's that opportunity in

348
00:13:52,995 --> 00:13:54,475
that active uninsured patient base.

349
00:13:54,705 --> 00:13:57,075
There's another bigger bucket of

350
00:13:57,075 --> 00:13:58,355
what we call dormant patients.

351
00:13:58,415 --> 00:14:00,155
So patients that have been in the practice

352
00:14:00,155 --> 00:14:01,915
but haven't come back,
let's say for 18 months,

353
00:14:02,725 --> 00:14:04,715
those patients, a lot of them stay away

354
00:14:04,715 --> 00:14:05,835
because they don't have coverage.

355
00:14:06,295 --> 00:14:07,875
And so you have this big opportunity.

356
00:14:08,015 --> 00:14:10,075
The average, by the way, of
all the data we're provide

357
00:14:10,075 --> 00:14:12,355
or pulling from the practice
management system is there's

358
00:14:12,355 --> 00:14:15,635
about 2000 dormant patients
sitting in any practice

359
00:14:15,655 --> 00:14:16,795
per dentist in the practice.

360
00:14:17,095 --> 00:14:19,755
That's a huge opportunity
against sitting right there.

361
00:14:19,895 --> 00:14:23,275
So that third price you pay
is this opportunity cost

362
00:14:23,335 --> 00:14:25,675
of patients in your practice
that you're not engaging.

363
00:14:26,215 --> 00:14:28,475
Um, and the last one's
more of an emotional one.

364
00:14:29,055 --> 00:14:31,035
We hear over and over
again from practices,

365
00:14:31,345 --> 00:14:33,395
they feel like they're
controlled by insurers.

366
00:14:33,465 --> 00:14:35,075
They feel like a bit helpless,

367
00:14:35,265 --> 00:14:37,075
they don't feel like they
can actually move forward.

368
00:14:37,075 --> 00:14:38,395
They don't know what to do about it.

369
00:14:38,395 --> 00:14:40,155
It's a bad feeling, right?
Mm-Hmm <affirmative>.

370
00:14:40,375 --> 00:14:42,435
And so just taking a step,

371
00:14:42,435 --> 00:14:44,675
let's say you have eight
PPOs in your practice,

372
00:14:44,675 --> 00:14:46,875
you don't know which one to
sort of get out of network with.

373
00:14:46,875 --> 00:14:48,835
You do this analysis, you find one

374
00:14:48,835 --> 00:14:50,835
that's a very small percentage
over your production

375
00:14:51,225 --> 00:14:52,245
and you get out of network.

376
00:14:52,525 --> 00:14:55,165
I guarantee you it creates
this, you know, feeling

377
00:14:55,185 --> 00:14:56,885
of I'm starting to get control

378
00:14:57,025 --> 00:14:58,565
and I'm starting to
feel good about things.

379
00:14:58,705 --> 00:15:01,005
So anyway, that sort of
feeling of helplessness

380
00:15:01,025 --> 00:15:03,525
and lack of controls, I
think the fourth cost.

381
00:15:04,075 --> 00:15:06,285
- Yeah, I think that as we've seen,

382
00:15:06,305 --> 00:15:08,405
and we've heard it from dentists

383
00:15:08,405 --> 00:15:11,765
and practices just across
the US right now, we know

384
00:15:11,765 --> 00:15:16,325
that there's this greater
focus on same store sales.

385
00:15:16,725 --> 00:15:19,125
I mean, you kind of touched
on it in the answer you just

386
00:15:19,125 --> 00:15:20,725
gave, but how do you see

387
00:15:21,305 --> 00:15:23,845
dental membership plans
also flipping the script

388
00:15:24,025 --> 00:15:28,725
for those practices with the
growth at all cost mentality

389
00:15:28,905 --> 00:15:32,645
and this providing a more
sustainable model of success?

390
00:15:33,515 --> 00:15:35,565
- Yeah, just following up on
what I was just talking about.

391
00:15:35,585 --> 00:15:37,725
So you have your active uninsured patients

392
00:15:37,725 --> 00:15:39,645
and then you have your
dormant patients, right?

393
00:15:39,825 --> 00:15:41,325
So if you're gonna go out,

394
00:15:41,325 --> 00:15:42,805
and that's huge opportunity, I'll get back

395
00:15:42,805 --> 00:15:45,285
to a second from a cost
perspective, so to, you know,

396
00:15:45,685 --> 00:15:46,685
engaging those patients,

397
00:15:46,745 --> 00:15:49,255
but typical practices will try

398
00:15:49,255 --> 00:15:50,415
to go out and find new patients.

399
00:15:50,885 --> 00:15:52,895
It's an incredibly difficult task.

400
00:15:53,155 --> 00:15:55,655
So on average, depending
on what study you look at,

401
00:15:55,655 --> 00:15:58,055
there's all kinds of
studies out there that say

402
00:15:58,055 --> 00:16:00,655
that a new patient costs
anywhere between 200,

403
00:16:00,655 --> 00:16:03,455
$400 per patient to acquire a new patient

404
00:16:03,455 --> 00:16:04,735
to walk into your door through

405
00:16:04,735 --> 00:16:06,215
marketing efforts and all that good stuff.

406
00:16:06,315 --> 00:16:07,735
So let's just average

407
00:16:07,755 --> 00:16:10,215
of $300 cost me $300 to get a new patient.

408
00:16:11,155 --> 00:16:13,055
The another stat is seven outta 10

409
00:16:13,055 --> 00:16:15,415
of those patients will
never come back <laugh>.

410
00:16:15,745 --> 00:16:17,615
Yikes. And so, yeah, exactly.

411
00:16:18,195 --> 00:16:19,895
So you start doing the math, right?

412
00:16:19,955 --> 00:16:22,495
And depending on how much
that cost is per patient,

413
00:16:23,075 --> 00:16:24,895
you're actually, a lot

414
00:16:24,895 --> 00:16:27,015
of times it's an
unprofitable patient, right?

415
00:16:27,015 --> 00:16:28,695
From a cost of acquisition perspective

416
00:16:28,835 --> 00:16:30,175
and how long they stay and the type

417
00:16:30,175 --> 00:16:31,655
of treatment they get, uh, completed.

418
00:16:31,755 --> 00:16:34,455
So it's a very difficult
equation actually to figure out.

419
00:16:34,455 --> 00:16:37,415
And it's even more difficult
to figure out long-term

420
00:16:37,795 --> 00:16:39,855
and sustainable model there.

421
00:16:40,315 --> 00:16:43,455
Um, so that's by far the
hardest, in my opinion, way

422
00:16:43,475 --> 00:16:46,535
to drive, you know,
growth in a practice it

423
00:16:46,555 --> 00:16:48,255
and you should do it
and no doubt about it,

424
00:16:48,595 --> 00:16:50,455
but it shouldn't be your only mechanism.

425
00:16:50,555 --> 00:16:52,495
The other mechanism should be
exactly what I talked about,

426
00:16:52,715 --> 00:16:55,095
better engagement and your
active uninsured patients

427
00:16:55,355 --> 00:16:57,215
and engagement of your dormant patients.

428
00:16:57,645 --> 00:17:00,255
There's said, there's a lot
of 'em in your practice.

429
00:17:00,275 --> 00:17:02,775
So between those two buckets,
you probably have 2300

430
00:17:02,795 --> 00:17:05,135
to 2,500 patients that
fall into that bucket.

431
00:17:05,835 --> 00:17:08,775
Better yet, they've been
to your practice, they know

432
00:17:08,775 --> 00:17:11,895
who you are, they will react
to a marketing message from you

433
00:17:12,475 --> 00:17:14,055
and you have all their information.

434
00:17:14,235 --> 00:17:16,175
So you don't have to, there's no cost

435
00:17:16,175 --> 00:17:17,815
of acquisition for these patients.

436
00:17:17,875 --> 00:17:21,375
If you set up a simple
email campaign, right,

437
00:17:21,555 --> 00:17:23,455
and it's done over a series of time,

438
00:17:23,915 --> 00:17:25,695
you actually will start
engaging these patients

439
00:17:25,695 --> 00:17:27,175
and drive them into your practice

440
00:17:27,235 --> 00:17:29,415
and that it's not gonna
happen overnight, right?

441
00:17:29,475 --> 00:17:31,815
So these dormant patients,
let's say you have 2000 of them,

442
00:17:32,005 --> 00:17:34,335
your goal might be, I'm gonna
activate over the next two

443
00:17:34,335 --> 00:17:36,975
years, let's say a hundred
of these patients, right?

444
00:17:37,435 --> 00:17:40,975
Or maybe 200. And so you have
a sustained marketing campaign

445
00:17:40,975 --> 00:17:42,695
that goes to those
patients that, you know,

446
00:17:42,695 --> 00:17:44,255
drives them back into your practice.

447
00:17:44,435 --> 00:17:47,215
And the cost of that
marketing is almost zero.

448
00:17:48,315 --> 00:17:52,045
It not much Email campaigns
are so inexpensive.

449
00:17:52,545 --> 00:17:56,645
Um, and by the way, uh, we do
some of this on our platform

450
00:17:56,645 --> 00:17:58,365
where we actually do that for a practice

451
00:17:58,365 --> 00:17:59,525
and we see the results.

452
00:17:59,545 --> 00:18:01,525
We see an uptick of about 50%

453
00:18:02,105 --> 00:18:04,925
of patients purchasing into a
membership plan if you market

454
00:18:04,925 --> 00:18:06,405
to that active uninsured patient base

455
00:18:06,405 --> 00:18:08,285
and you market into that
dormant patient base.

456
00:18:08,955 --> 00:18:11,925
- Alright, so you're, you mentioned it,

457
00:18:12,025 --> 00:18:16,365
but marketing is definitely
a feature that Clear has kind

458
00:18:16,365 --> 00:18:19,245
of sets us apart from other
dental membership platforms.

459
00:18:19,305 --> 00:18:21,485
But what else sets us apart

460
00:18:21,585 --> 00:18:23,965
and how is clear measuring the success

461
00:18:24,145 --> 00:18:26,925
of these membership plans that
practices start to implement

462
00:18:26,985 --> 00:18:28,645
and just their overall performance?

463
00:18:29,785 --> 00:18:33,565
- So, um, we don't, we're
not, I I don't, I don't like

464
00:18:33,565 --> 00:18:34,885
to think of us as a software company.

465
00:18:35,005 --> 00:18:37,965
I think I think of us as
somebody who's gonna get results,

466
00:18:38,085 --> 00:18:39,925
a results company in, in short.

467
00:18:39,945 --> 00:18:41,965
And so we really focus

468
00:18:41,985 --> 00:18:44,325
and really measure the
impact we're having,

469
00:18:44,505 --> 00:18:45,725
let me get that in a minute.

470
00:18:45,785 --> 00:18:47,245
But we've developed a formula

471
00:18:47,545 --> 00:18:49,365
and a process to get the results

472
00:18:49,475 --> 00:18:51,645
that are really consistent
practice of practice.

473
00:18:52,385 --> 00:18:54,085
So where we start is with a consult,

474
00:18:54,705 --> 00:18:55,885
uh, like a design consult.

475
00:18:56,065 --> 00:18:58,685
So we will spend 45 minutes
an hour with a practice prior

476
00:18:58,685 --> 00:19:00,525
to doing anything where we'll talk

477
00:19:00,525 --> 00:19:01,645
to 'em about their practice, we'll talk

478
00:19:01,645 --> 00:19:03,645
to 'em about patients, we'll
talk to 'em about their goals.

479
00:19:03,855 --> 00:19:06,245
We'll talk to 'em about their
PPOs and how they manage 'em,

480
00:19:06,265 --> 00:19:07,445
and we'll try to understand sort

481
00:19:07,445 --> 00:19:08,485
of what's the dynamics there

482
00:19:08,785 --> 00:19:11,965
and how do we craft a membership
plan that meets the needs

483
00:19:11,965 --> 00:19:13,645
of the practice and their patients.

484
00:19:13,965 --> 00:19:15,325
'cause you can't do one without the other.

485
00:19:15,705 --> 00:19:17,845
Um, so we'll price it, we'll design it.

486
00:19:18,025 --> 00:19:20,405
Uh, you might end up with,
let's say three care plans,

487
00:19:20,435 --> 00:19:21,685
like one for a child, one

488
00:19:21,725 --> 00:19:23,125
for an adult, one for a perial patient.

489
00:19:23,185 --> 00:19:25,045
You can end up with five
if you have the older

490
00:19:25,045 --> 00:19:26,125
adults and younger children.

491
00:19:26,465 --> 00:19:28,405
Anyway, we, we craft it

492
00:19:28,405 --> 00:19:30,445
and design it specifically
for the practice.

493
00:19:30,945 --> 00:19:32,685
The second thing we do is we,

494
00:19:32,865 --> 00:19:34,885
we we're a partner in the implementation

495
00:19:35,105 --> 00:19:37,285
and the support of your membership plan.

496
00:19:37,345 --> 00:19:40,925
So we have an implementation
process where part of

497
00:19:40,925 --> 00:19:42,005
that is training your team.

498
00:19:42,075 --> 00:19:44,165
It's getting you marketing
materials, it's, you know,

499
00:19:44,645 --> 00:19:46,165
teaching you how to promote it to your,

500
00:19:46,345 --> 00:19:47,605
uh, to your patient base.

501
00:19:48,035 --> 00:19:51,445
It's also having a support
team who answers phone calls,

502
00:19:51,545 --> 00:19:54,445
emails, texts, like, if you
need support, we're here

503
00:19:54,465 --> 00:19:56,325
and you have a human that you can talk to

504
00:19:56,425 --> 00:19:59,085
who will solve your problems
and address whatever you need.

505
00:19:59,305 --> 00:20:01,085
So anyway, that support training sort

506
00:20:01,085 --> 00:20:02,765
of partnership piece is critical.

507
00:20:02,765 --> 00:20:04,365
That's the second step. The third step,

508
00:20:04,665 --> 00:20:06,805
and that most people think
I'd probably lead with this,

509
00:20:06,865 --> 00:20:08,645
but this just the software.

510
00:20:08,745 --> 00:20:10,365
The software automates things.

511
00:20:10,705 --> 00:20:12,925
It makes it real easy
to like add patients.

512
00:20:12,925 --> 00:20:16,365
It provides you reports, it,
uh, renewals are automatic,

513
00:20:16,415 --> 00:20:19,045
compliance is built in,
there's marketing material.

514
00:20:19,265 --> 00:20:22,485
So the software platform is
critical to the execution

515
00:20:22,485 --> 00:20:25,125
and management of the,
uh, membership plan.

516
00:20:25,745 --> 00:20:27,765
As part of that, there's
another area which is,

517
00:20:27,785 --> 00:20:29,085
you mentioned it integration

518
00:20:29,085 --> 00:20:30,445
with your practice management system.

519
00:20:30,705 --> 00:20:32,845
And we pride ourselves on this side.

520
00:20:32,845 --> 00:20:36,045
It's, uh, we got a very
advanced, uh, solution here

521
00:20:36,145 --> 00:20:37,005
that's way advanced,

522
00:20:37,075 --> 00:20:38,485
more advanced than anything in the market.

523
00:20:38,905 --> 00:20:41,285
Um, and we do things like
automate your payment posting.

524
00:20:41,505 --> 00:20:43,125
So let's say you have a thousand

525
00:20:43,685 --> 00:20:45,805
patients paying monthly the subscription,

526
00:20:46,305 --> 00:20:47,965
if you don't have an automated way

527
00:20:47,965 --> 00:20:50,125
of posting those subscription
payments into your practice

528
00:20:50,125 --> 00:20:52,405
management system,
somebody's entering a lot

529
00:20:52,405 --> 00:20:53,765
of data on a monthly basis.

530
00:20:54,425 --> 00:20:57,445
Um, so we developed a way
to take those payments out

531
00:20:57,445 --> 00:20:58,885
of our subscription platform

532
00:20:58,885 --> 00:21:00,805
and move them into your
practice management platform

533
00:21:00,805 --> 00:21:03,085
automatically, it just
happens and it shows up

534
00:21:03,085 --> 00:21:04,645
and it's a record of it, uh,

535
00:21:04,645 --> 00:21:06,605
being posted into your
practice management system.

536
00:21:07,145 --> 00:21:08,925
Uh, patient enrollment's another one where

537
00:21:09,555 --> 00:21:10,565
give you a little bit of a pain.

538
00:21:10,565 --> 00:21:12,805
If patients are constantly
walking up to your front desk

539
00:21:12,805 --> 00:21:14,245
during the day asking to be enrolled,

540
00:21:14,665 --> 00:21:16,685
you gotta get their name, their
address, their phone number,

541
00:21:16,685 --> 00:21:18,045
right, their credit card,
all that good stuff.

542
00:21:18,385 --> 00:21:21,165
Um, it, it can be a little
bit taxing and it's manual

543
00:21:21,225 --> 00:21:22,925
and that front desk has
other things they need to do.

544
00:21:23,465 --> 00:21:25,685
So actually what we do when we integrate

545
00:21:25,685 --> 00:21:27,525
with your practice management
system is you just need

546
00:21:27,525 --> 00:21:28,605
to pick a name off.

547
00:21:28,785 --> 00:21:30,485
Uh, and when we pick that,

548
00:21:30,535 --> 00:21:33,925
after you pick that name, we
auto-fill all the fields we

549
00:21:33,925 --> 00:21:35,605
need that are in your
practice management system.

550
00:21:36,025 --> 00:21:37,365
So it just streamlines

551
00:21:37,365 --> 00:21:39,405
that it ma it makes it like a 22nd process

552
00:21:39,945 --> 00:21:43,405
to add a patient at that
front desk, uh, as needed.

553
00:21:43,585 --> 00:21:45,245
So, and then we do other things like

554
00:21:45,565 --> 00:21:46,805
I I mentioned marketing.

555
00:21:46,865 --> 00:21:49,965
So we actually have the
capability since we're integrated

556
00:21:49,985 --> 00:21:51,005
to market to your patients

557
00:21:51,005 --> 00:21:52,485
and we have campaigns you can run

558
00:21:52,745 --> 00:21:54,285
to dormant patients, for example.

559
00:21:54,585 --> 00:21:56,925
And we'll send a series of
emails over in the course of time

560
00:21:57,015 --> 00:21:58,845
where you might get a
series of, let's say three

561
00:21:58,845 --> 00:22:00,765
or four to start off and
then one every quarter.

562
00:22:01,345 --> 00:22:03,405
And you wanna constantly
be touching that, uh,

563
00:22:03,405 --> 00:22:05,605
dormant patient base and it will drive

564
00:22:05,605 --> 00:22:07,005
those patients back to your practice.

565
00:22:07,025 --> 00:22:08,885
So that comes like outta the box

566
00:22:08,885 --> 00:22:10,165
with our integration and so on.

567
00:22:10,225 --> 00:22:13,165
So all that stuff we know
over the course of years,

568
00:22:13,345 --> 00:22:16,205
the impact it has and we
measure that impact again

569
00:22:16,205 --> 00:22:18,125
by integrating practice
management systems,

570
00:22:18,125 --> 00:22:20,565
pulling the data, like I talked
about, this is real data.

571
00:22:20,905 --> 00:22:22,645
We have it for hundreds of practices.

572
00:22:23,025 --> 00:22:25,125
Uh, and what it shows on average is

573
00:22:25,125 --> 00:22:28,725
that when a patient goes
from uninsured over to clear,

574
00:22:29,195 --> 00:22:33,685
they come in twice as often,
they accept 2.5 times more, uh,

575
00:22:33,685 --> 00:22:36,845
treatment and they drive
2.7 times more revenue.

576
00:22:37,105 --> 00:22:39,365
And one more stat, which
we just started adding

577
00:22:39,365 --> 00:22:41,005
because we started seeing it in data,

578
00:22:41,625 --> 00:22:43,965
is they cancel 50% less appointments.

579
00:22:44,585 --> 00:22:46,005
And so you have a more consistent

580
00:22:46,005 --> 00:22:47,845
and loyal patient walking
into your practice.

581
00:22:47,915 --> 00:22:51,165
This is real data from the
practices that use our platform

582
00:22:51,225 --> 00:22:52,805
and it's their practice management data.

583
00:22:53,265 --> 00:22:54,965
Uh, and so it's super solid.

584
00:22:55,305 --> 00:22:57,085
Uh, and so I know it's a long answer,

585
00:22:57,145 --> 00:22:59,085
but there, there's a lot of
steps you need to go through

586
00:22:59,085 --> 00:23:00,805
and you also need to measure
in the right way to make sure

587
00:23:00,805 --> 00:23:01,845
that you're being successful.

588
00:23:02,795 --> 00:23:05,515
- Absolutely. I think the
main takeaway for anyone

589
00:23:05,515 --> 00:23:07,115
that's listening and as you went through

590
00:23:07,115 --> 00:23:10,915
that is membership plans
can have a huge impact

591
00:23:10,975 --> 00:23:13,395
and play a huge role in patient

592
00:23:13,795 --> 00:23:15,395
behavior and practice growth.

593
00:23:15,615 --> 00:23:18,235
So for anyone looking for
that same sort, growth,

594
00:23:18,355 --> 00:23:20,475
a membership plan is a great solution.

595
00:23:20,965 --> 00:23:22,315
Thank you Dave, so much

596
00:23:22,375 --> 00:23:24,195
