Creating targeted email campaigns by Patient Insurance Carrier requires both the Analytics and Engagement Modules. If you're interested in adding either of these Modules to your subscription, CLICK HERE to request a demo!

Creating email campaigns for your patients based on their insurance carrier can lead to more personalized and relevant communication. It allows your practice to tailor information about accepted insurance plans, coverage options, and benefits terms. By targeting patients based on their insurance, your practice can increase the likelihood of patients scheduling appointments for preventive care. Ultimately, this approach can foster a stronger relationship with your patients, leading to higher patient satisfaction and retention.

The Dental Intelligence bundle makes it easy for you to not only curate lists of patients by insurance carrier, but also provides you with the tools to send email campaigns and scheduling invitations to these patient lists in just a few clicks!
