It doesn’t matter how credible you are or the number of hi-tech devices you use in your practice if your patients can’t afford your services. Explaining in detail how much they need a procedure would amount to nothing if their current financial situation isn’t amicable to what you’re offering. This is where having flexible in-office payment plans come in, and I’ll talk about them via the Dental Hacks podcast.

In today’s episode, I wear the hat of the guest and share my thoughts on in-office payment plans. I discuss why practices should always have flexible payment options and how business owners can benefit from them. I explain how to avoid situations where the patient fails to pay for your services and what you can do about it if they do fail to pay. I also share how you can determine your risk tolerance for flexible payments and how to maximize your working hours to become more profitable.
