Due to the amount of time and effort I save doing virtual consults versus in-person consults, I would literally do virtual consults for nothing—and still be way farther ahead financially.
But you can bill and collect just as much for virtual consults as you do for in-person consults.
How does that work?

I share where to find the billing codes for virtual consults and explain why you CAN charge for the virtual consult but CAN’T charge for digital onboarding.
Listen in for insight on when to bill a patient for their virtual consult and learn how the JetVC app can increase your revenue by facilitating virtual consults.

How do you sell a virtual consult to a reluctant patient? Maybe someone who’s technologically challenged?
In my practice, when a patient calls to make an appointment, we walk them through the advantages of using the JetVC app, encouraging even the most resistant patients to say YES to a virtual consult.
So, what does our call center script look like? And how do we communicate with patients once we’ve sold them on JetVC?

I explain how we communicate with patients via SMS as well as the JetVC app, using AI to avoid texting sensitive, healthcare specific patient information.
We cover how the app uses geolocation for patient check-in and why we still ask patients to schedule an appointment over the phone.

What is the best way to reduce pain, swelling and tenderness in wisdom teeth extractions?
A recent study compared the use of EXPAREL versus standard bupivacaine and found ‘no significant difference.’

On this episode of Dentist Brian Candy, I explain why and how I use standard bupivacaine along with EXPAREL for pain control with my patients.
I discuss the topics covered at our upcoming Cutting Edge Dental Implant Symposium, including a lecture around using the HITECH Act to improve care and increase profitability.
