Are your fees distracting your patients from your treatment?  Are your fees naturally acceptable or naturally unacceptable?  This pearl may help you to decide.

About 35 years ago a research group conducted a study of the fees of about 20 dental practices, collecting hundreds of thousands of accepted and rejected fees; this study helped determine which fees are naturally acceptable and which fees are naturally unacceptable.

The fact is, if the fee makes the patient dwell on the fee instead of on your treatment, it is unacceptable.  In general, all fees ending in 9 are naturally unacceptable.  Treatment fees ending in 20, 30, 70 and 80 are naturally the most acceptable.  See the PDF below for more detail for making your fees more acceptable.

If you want to provide a New Patient Experience that distracts patients from your fee, the “The Ultimate New Patient Experience Kit” can help.
