Using Membership Plans to Improve Cash Flow with Dr. Brett Wells

Brett Wells is the Founder and CEO of Dental HQ, a company that provides membership plan services to dentists who want to improve their in-house membership plans. He started Dental HQ because he saw the frustrations patients experience with the insurance process and sought to make their dental appointments smoother. Brett has since grown his business and continuously attracts new clients, even when the coronavirus pandemic hit the economy hard.

Today, Brett shares how his membership plan changed the way he runs his business. He discusses why he started multiple offices after graduation and how Dental HQ was founded. He explains how membership plans can help bring more patients as well as some of the possible drawbacks of having one. He describes the perks their patients receive with their plans and how much it costs the patients. Brett also explains how membership plans compare and contrast with dental insurance.

“It’s all about the monthly price. That’s what your patients want to see: the affordability.” - Brett Wells
