Frequently asked questions

What is the Direct Care model, and how does it work?

The Direct Care model allows patients to join your practice as members and pay directly for care rather than going through insurance. This simplifies billing, reduces administrative burdens, and strengthens patient relationships.

How does United Dental Co-op help my practice transition to Direct Care?

UDC provides resources, training, and operational support to help dentists shift from an insurance-based model to Direct Care. We offer guidance on pricing, patient communication, and marketing strategies to ensure a smooth transition.

Will I lose patients if I move away from insurance?

Many dentists find that by offering a clear, affordable membership model, they retain and even attract new patients who appreciate transparent pricing and personalized care. UDC provides strategies to educate your existing patients and make the transition seamless.

What are the financial benefits of joining United Dental Co-op?

UDC members benefit from reduced administrative costs, improved cash flow, and increased profitability. Additionally, members gain access to group purchasing discounts, marketing tools, and operational support to enhance practice efficiency.
