Part III: The Resource Helping Us Boost Revenues $100 Per Patient & Speeding Our Pandemic Recovery
The Coronavirus pandemic caused emotional and financial distress for patients. Those challenges, by extension, were felt in our practices. Fortunately, says Dave Anderson, OD, his practice has been able to offer patients the ability to use the CareCredit credit card. This has made it easier for patients to pay for the care they need while helping the practice to recover financially. Dr. Anderson shows how making CareCredit a part of his practice aids patients while boosting per-patient revenue. Read Now.
 
Part IV: 5 Ways We Are Boosting Eyewear Capture Rate to Ensure a Strong Post-Pandemic Practice
The Coronavirus pandemic tested our ability to provide continuity of care, including ensuring patients had all the products they had been prescribed.

Part V: Specialized Care + Patient Financing = Thriving Despite a Pandemic
Surviving a pandemic while remaining financially strong takes many things. Offering services patients can’t find at most other nearby practices, such as vision therapy, helps, and so does offering patient financing. Miki Lyn Zilnicki, OD, FCOVD, and Jessica Licausi, OD, FAAO, FCOVD share how their vision therapy-focused practice provides care that serves as a practice differentiator while making their services more accessible to our patients by offering patient financing with CareCredit.

Part VI: One of My Practice’s Secrets to Maintaining Strong Cash Flow During the Pandemic
With many practices services outside insurance coverage, patients in the best of times may be hesitant. A public crisis causing added financial pressure on many families, resulted in that hesitancy increasing. Roxanne Achong-Coan, OD, FAAO, FIAOMC, FSLS, shares how the CareCredit credit card helped many of her patients continue to receive their full treatment plan.  Read Now.
