The key to any dental practice is how to constantly bring in new patients. We all know this. But how do you attract those patients who cannot afford expensive dental treatment in one lump sum? Those patients can typically afford a car payment-sized monthly bill— so why not make that part of your practice?
We had Dave Roehr and Brad Bailor of Proceed Finance (http://www.proceedfinance.com) to discuss their company and how well payment plans work when it comes to attracting new patients with low financial risk to the doctors who consult with them.
Proceed Finance offers affordable patient financing that helps providers expand their patient base and drive repeat business.
We bridge the gap between the services providers offer their patients and the affordability of those services. The Proceed Finance model is simple – fully-funded, fast delivery financing for providers and easy to understand terms and the lowest rates for patients.
