Patient Well Care Plan ™
Overview
One way you as a doctor can ease cash flow burdens is to increase your
overall revenues. A doctor’s office, in reality, is no different than any other
kind of business. Your customers are your patients, and just like a
business, your ability to make money hinges on your ability to serve more
and more customers.
Anyone in the world of business would agree that the best kind of customer
is a repeat customer. Customers, that is, who come back over and over
again and keep purchasing goods or services. These repeat customers
COST LESS for the business to acquire than new customers, and are
therefore more PROFITABLE.
Likewise, you can increase your revenues by encouraging your patients to
come back over and over again for needed services. Services like
checkups, immunizations, and the like that your patients need to remain
healthy and vital. What you need is a systematized way to follow-up with
patients to remind them when it’s time for scheduled appointments, or alert
them to services they may not have known that they needed.
Unfortunately, most doctors are far too busy with the business of seeing
patients and handling payment problems that they don’t have the time to
attend to critical, practice-building activities. They are simply too swamped
to put together a systematized follow-up program. Does this sound familiar
to you? Too busy to do what you need to do? Join the crowd! It’s a common
situation.
The Outsourcing Solution
Outsourcing your follow-up process is often the best solution. We can help
you implement a systematized program for following up with your patients
by sending them letters, cards, and postcards to remind them of
appointments and to offer additional services. You will have many different
packages of cards and letters to choose from; you can tailor each program
to the needs of each individual doctor. To see samples of the kinds of
cards and letters, click here.
The net result of this kind of systemized follow-up program is an inevitable increase in patient appointments…and billings. You will only be charged a small service fee for sending out the cards and letters—and you will quickly find that any money that you pay will quickly be recaptured—at a profit—when your practice is built to new levels of revenue through this program.
