Why Dental Experts use 831(b)?
Let's cover some of the risks that are facing the dental industry today. In this current environment, we see shrinking margins due to rising overhead cost reductions to healthcare benefits, and increased competition. We also see dental practices offering limited warranties that are not formally defined, nor being positioned as a client benefit. They are simply implied or expected from the patient. Finding meaningful ways to retain your existing clients is always a top priority, but it's becoming more and more difficult. The SRA Dental Protection Plan was designed with this in mind and provides practices with a way to strengthen their overall financial wellbeing.
In the past, these types of solutions were only afforded to large enterprises. For example, large auto dealerships have offered extended warranties for many years and used those profits to help support their business when needed. That has given them financial strength that's unparalleled than other industries. At SRA, we've developed a dental protection plan that allows practices of all sizes to utilize the same concepts in the dental industry. The benefits of the dental protection plan include setting clearly defined patient expectations, adding value, and the ability to customize it to fit the unique needs of each practice. By setting aside a percentage of profits, you can satisfy the terms of your warranty in a more efficient manner. Low claims years allow practices to build an additional asset which can strengthen the overall financial health of the business. SRA provides a turnkey warranty solution that is easy to implement into your practice.
