What is the Well Care Program?
The well care program is a marketing system that is designed to increase your business by reminding patients of appointments, acknowledging them on birthdays, and notifying them that it is time for their annual check ups, etc…
The program will also help you gain approval from insurance companies to join their health plans as a network provider. Insurance companies love to see that a physician is practicing “Well Care”, because it lowers the cost of healthcare. Preventative medicine is the wave of the future in the healthcare industry.

How does the program work?
A series of well timed post cards will be sent out according to the appropriate reasons, such as birthdays, get well, we miss you, time for a check up, and so on. Your patients will be impressed that their well being is being monitored and that their doctor cares.
Because of the great communication between your office and the patient, they will spread the word to their friends and family what a great doctor they have.
Also, because they are being reminded when its time to come in for preventative care, they will be more apt to call in and make an appointment! Everyone knows that a full appointment book means revenue.
You won’t have to lift a finger to coordinate anything! Your billing specialist will take care of all the details, from inputting the data in a data base, to stuffing and mailing out the post cards and flyers.

How much will it cost me?
The cost to you will be minimum, especially if your billing specialist already has a data base built into their system from doing your claims filing. The standard cost per card being sent out is between 1.75 to 2.50. This is pocket change compared to the kind of revenue that will be generated for your practice.
How will the representative know when to send out cards?
Your Billing specialist has some very unique and special software that will coordinate the database and keep track of every detail. With special timers and alarms built right in, the billing specialist will know exactly what to send and when.

Will this help me become a network doctor for the various PPO and HMO carriers?
It certainly can help. Insurance carriers recognize the need to facilitate preventative care to meet the needs of lower healthcare costs in our country. When you apply to an HMO or PPO to become a network provider, there are several critical areas that are looked at by the insurance companies. Practicing Well Care and Preventative Medicine is one of these areas. Having a system in place for this purpose, will be a positive influence in the decision making process.

Will this really increase my business and how?
The Well Care Program will do several things for you. It will keep your patients informed of important check ups, initiate appointment making, and facilitate good relations between you and your patients. As a result, your patients will foster great word of mouth referrals and your appointment book will be brimming over with patient visits.
Because more and more people are being added to HMO’s and PPO’s each year, your patient base can narrow if you are not a member of these different provider networks. With the Well Care Program, you can be more competitive and gain the necessary approval to join the various networks, therefore increasing your patient base.
