Dentist Brain Candy

The podcast is designed for the dentist who likes to learn and improve their practice. The information and content delivered is designed to help the restorative dentist move their practice forward. Each week we start off with an quote that gets the metal gears turning, a book review which will be digested for the listener over a series of episodes pulling out relevant material and applying it to the dental practice. Next an article will be reviewed from the literature and available for download. The show will close with an interesting case that I have come across. Pictures and radiographs, when appropriate will be on the website to review as well. The benefits include having a virtual dental buddy that you can listen to and “hang out with” and talk shop and grow your experience, knowledge and enthusiasm for our profession.

Due to the amount of time and effort I save doing virtual consults versus in-person consults, I would literally do virtual consults for nothing—and still be way farther ahead financially.

But you can bill and collect just as much for virtual consults as you do for in-person consults.

How does that work?

On this episode of Dentist Brian Candy, we continue our series on JetVC.ai, discussing billing and the financial implications of doing virtual consults.

I share where to find the billing codes for virtual consults and explain why you CAN charge for the virtual consult but CAN’T charge for digital onboarding.

Listen in for insight on when to bill a patient for their virtual consult and learn how the JetVC app can increase your revenue by facilitating virtual consults.

How do you sell a virtual consult to a reluctant patient? Maybe someone who’s technologically challenged?

In my practice, when a patient calls to make an appointment, we walk them through the advantages of using the JetVC app, encouraging even the most resistant patients to say YES to a virtual consult.

So, what does our call center script look like? And how do we communicate with patients once we’ve sold them on JetVC?

On this episode of Dentist Brian Candy, we continue our discussion of JetVC.ai, looking at the texting, geolocation and virtual consult features of the app.

I explain how we communicate with patients via SMS as well as the JetVC app, using AI to avoid texting sensitive, healthcare specific patient information.

We cover how the app uses geolocation for patient check-in and why we still ask patients to schedule an appointment over the phone.

Listen in for insight on the case types that aren’t amenable to a virtual consult and learn how to explain the benefits of JetVC to reluctant patients.

Key Takeaways

How we communicate with patients via text message and the JetVC app
