Review the podcast Transcript: Kiera Dent (00:00.784) Hello, Dental A Team listeners. This is Kiera. And I just wanted to bring Brad on from dental warranty again, because he was asking me a question of how do you get a team bought into wanting to put a warranty on or how do you get other offices wanting to, your team members incentivize to do this? And I'm a freaking team member. So I thought, Brad, I was going to get, just give him some verbiage right now. And I thought I'm going to hit record so that way we can give you guys my real time live feedback of how like, cause that's the next thing. Like doctors, you're so jazzed. You're so pumped about. putting dental warranty into the practice and then the team says, I don't want to do that. Like welcome to everything else, right Brad? So Brad, welcome back to the podcast. You're part of dental warranty. Hello, welcome back. Okay, ask me your question and let's just do this live. I'm going to do some verbiage recording and we'll do this as part two of your guys's podcast of like what to do when you take it to the team. So ask me your questions and let's just rip live. Brad (00:39.502) Yep, thank you. Good to see you. Brad (00:54.254) Yeah. So, so one thing that we deal with sometimes is, you know, doctors love the idea. So they see the value firsthand. Okay. This is something that really is going to protect my bottom line, help my practice, grow my patients. but they kind of hand it off to their team and the team feels, that they already have enough on their plate and either they're already busy. What's, you know, one more thing we all heard, you know, the doctor comes back from some sort of conference or meeting like, gosh, who's calling me now? So. So I know we do a lot of RN to keep it so simple and so streamlined for the team to use. But yeah, so my question was how to get the team excited about doing this? And if there's anything you'd recommend to help encourage them to kind of just build it in and just utilize it. Kiera Dent (01:36.016) For sure. Okay, so let me understand a little more of the true pieces. So me as a team member, what do I actually have to do? What do I have to do for processing? How much is it? Kind of walk me through some of those more specific details and then I'll tell you exactly as a team member what I do as a TC, what I do in my practices to give you guys some of that verbiage. And I think this is for anything you implement. We're just gonna use dental warranty as my example today. Brad (02:01.902) Perfect, yep. So for the office, the team that you use, what they'll do is they'll create their own dental warranty procedure code, so just their own dummy code, and they're gonna build it in right on the treatment plan. So you're gonna list the treatment they're receiving and the six -year protection plan, similar to how some offices might do fluoride or whatnot. You're gonna build it in as part of the process, and then you're gonna offer it to the patient right there along with the treatment. Here's your crown, your buildup, your two fillings, and your six -year protection plan. Kiera Dent (02:19.536) Mm -hmm. Brad (02:28.782) This is what your dental insurance is going to save and here's your total that includes your coverage. So it's really that simple. And then we are integrated with Thentrix, Eagle Soft, Open Dental, and they'll have their own dashboard where they just hit the patient's name, submit warranty, or add warranty, submit. So it's very, very simple for the team to use, but we track all the patient coverages, details, and benefits through the dashboard. Kiera Dent (02:32.688) sure. Kiera Dent (02:53.744) Got it. And so how much extra is it? And is it per procedure or is it like one warranty covers everything? I'm curious on that too for the team. Brad (03:02.382) Yes, so the practice would charge the patients anywhere from 10 to 15 percent of the office fee. So take dental insurance out of it. It doesn't matter if they have their cash paying or if they're a PPO. It's based off of the office fee. And our fee that we end up collecting is just 10 percent. So if the practice charges 15 percent, they'll keep the 5 percent. We collect 10 percent on the back end. So let's say they do charge 15 percent of whatever that procedure cost is. Kiera Dent (03:30.) Okay. Brad (03:30.638) And so if there's going to be extractions, things that are ...
