In this podcast episode, we explore the powerful medium of video for patient communication when resigning from PPO plans. With the understanding that words only contribute 7% to our communication, it becomes crucial to leverage other elements such as facial expressions, tone, and body language. By incorporating video, practitioners can effectively convey their message, ensuring patients receive the total value of the communication. The recommended video length is between 2 to 3 minutes, offering a concise and impactful delivery. This approach enables dental professionals to inform patients about practice changes, such as terminating insurance contracts, while emphasizing the continued availability of high-quality care and personalized experiences. Through face-to-face communication and strategic timing, practitioners can maximize patient retention and create a new benchmark for successful PPO plan resignations.
