Have you ever thought about the amount of revenue you miss out on when patients fail to adhere to treatment guidelines? Many patients don't schedule hygiene appointments, oral cancer screenings and other preventive care treatments in advance. For many, their busy schedule prevents them from knowing their availability that far into the future and they forget to call for an appointment when it's time for their next cleaning.
An effective recare strategy can help your practice meet revenue goals and keep patients on schedule. More appointments mean more revenue for your practice, and proactive outreach is a great way to increase patient satisfaction as well.
A recare strategy is a great idea. After all, no practice wants to lose potential revenue. But how do you actually do it? The reality is that many practices lack the staff or resources to manually call patients to remind them when it's time to schedule an appointment, and as postage rates continue to rise, postcard reminders become a less viable option. The efficiency of an automated outreach campaign for recare reminders is the most practical and easy-to-implement approach for recalling patients.
