Your practice can collect thousands of dollars less than it produces. Do you know why?
Let’s talk about COLLECTIONS.
Collections are the actual payments your practice receives from patients and insurance companies for the dental services provided.
📊 Here’s an example:
Your practice produces $100,000 in a month but collects only $80,000.
That $20,000 gap may be related to insurance adjustments, write-offs, unpaid patient balances, or outstanding claims.
The important thing? Producing more doesn't automatically mean collecting more.
Tracking collections helps practice owners understand how effectively their practice turns completed dental work into actual revenue.
And this is where your administrative team plays an important role—from following up on outstanding claims to helping manage patient balances.
💬 Practice owners: What's more challenging for your practice: getting more patients in the door or collecting payment for the services you've already provided?
