In the complicated world of dentistry and dental insurance, you have an advocate.
The caring folk at Bright Now Dental! combine administrative, specialists, general care and dental laboratory service for over 250,000 patients in eighteen states in the USA.
What does that mean to you?
By consolidating many of these business support functions, doctors smile because they are able to deliver quality, affordable dental care to more patients than they could on their own.
It also means the patient has a wider range of financial options available to them. Bright Now Dental! Accepts most of the major dental plans in the country. They know how to negotiate payment, get preauthorization and approvals, and how to appeal claims so you pay as little as possible. They have short term loans, credit card advantages, and monthly payment plans specifically for dental care.
Formed over 10-years ago, Bright Now Dental! is also called Monarch, Castle, and Newport Dental. They all have the same stylized tooth logo in each of the 300 offices. They are all networked together to provide the best and most innovative dental care in the country. It is sort of like belonging to an exclusive club with all the benefits. In the ten years since it was formed, Bright Now has acquired these chains. That is good news for you and the dentists you are used to seeing.
A larger group can administer costs more efficiently, lobby for changes in insurance policies, and be a consumer advocate. The dental staff in turn has the support they need so they can concentrate on the important thing- your mouth and overall health. They don't have to spend their time on payrolls, insurance appeals and landlord issues. That is all taken care of so they can focus on their patients.
The employees are happier because they get great benefits and all the advantages of being with a large corporation. They get career assistance and financing, advancement opportunities and HR support. That means there will be less turnover, more qualified applicants, and happier staff. The cream of the crop wants to work for the successful corporations, no matter what field. Dentistry is no exception.
Bright Now Dental! affiliates can also offer brand name products like Lumineers at a savings to you. Because they order so many products and manufacturers know them, it is like dealing with a discount club. Lower overhead means more savings to the patient.
The best thing, is the dentists in the group are local dentists. Many retain their own practices, just expanding their networking capabilities. Others group together in large clinics where several specialties are offered. What they share in common is the peace of mind that they can concentrate on what they went to all of those years of school to do- take care of peoples teeth and smiles. That in turn, makes them smile.
It is a win-win situation for everyone. Dentists, specialists, techs, and patients all benefit from the system that Bright Now Dental! has formed over the last ten years since its founding. In tough economic times, it is best to group together to weather any storms. Your dentist will not have to close his or her doors due to increases in costs of doing business when they are a part of this group that just keeps growing and expanding.
As a patient you get the best of both worlds--- individualized care and service and corporate backing. You won't feel like you are a cog in a wheel of some large conglomerate. You see the same dentist and staff, not whoever happens to be available at the time. Plus, no matter what you have done, if there are problems with the insurance, you have a person to call who knows how to deal with it and help you resolve the issues. The insurance companies want to keep Bright Now Dental! happy so they are more willing to work with them than they might with an individual dentist in your area.
