Upfront and All-inclusive Pricing
Our pricing is pretty straightforward and easy to understand.
We charge an implementation fee, which includes:
- Configuration fees (stuff we have to do to setup your account)
- Conversion fees (we can convert your existing data, saving your time and money)
- Training fees (our training methods are much more efficient than anything you've experienced)
After the implementation fee we charge a monthly, all-inclusive subscription that includes all of this and more: - Support (by phone or e-mail and available on weekends and holidays)
- Backup (we create a snapshot backup of your data every hour)
- Upgrades (you never hassle with them, you just log in and use them--and they happen all the time!)
- eServices (includes eClaims, eligibilities, and ERA.
- Imaging (capture directly to the cloud using almost any x-ray sensor)
The subscription is based on the number of providers (doctors) in your practice. Call us today to learn more.
EXTENDED DEADLINE
Complimentary Data Conversion
Now's a really good time to break the chain to a server, my friend. The response to last month's offer was so well received that we would be silly not to extend it into November. Simply make the switch to Curve by November 11th and we'll convert your data at no additional charge to you. Call 888-910-4376 for details.

Lessons from Hurricane Sandy
|
 | | Hurricane Lessons |
|
By Andy Jensen
First and foremost is concern for our customers and friends who were forced to deal with Hurricane Sandy. We hoped for your safety and we wish you a speedy recovery. Let me share with you some interesting happenings related to our customers in New York and New Jersey. As far as we are aware all of customers in the storm-hit area are well, and we're thankful for that. After the storm we received a number of calls from doctors who had no power, either at home or at work. Because their data resides on the cloud, with their permission our customer service team was able to access their schedules and call their patients in their behalf. We were able to rearrange schedules as required until our customers were able to open their practices, which was extremely helpful for patients and doctors. Many of our other customers patted themselves on the back for having moved their practice to the cloud. With their data safely residing on the cloud they were afforded two key advantages after Hurricane Sandy passed on:First, they did not have to worry about data loss. They knew that whatever happened to their practice--whether it was flooded, knocked flat, or burned--their data and their ability to quickly and easily view their practice information would not be affected. Second, our customers were able to access and review ALL of their patient information from anywhere until the storm passed. Whether they sought shelter at a distant hotel or relative's home all they needed was Internet access and a computer. Many of our customers reported they were 'working' from home until they could get back to their office. Tales of gratitude for being well-prepared was the main story from our customers. But the scene at Dentrix, Eaglesoft, Carestream, and other client-server developers was most likely much different. Sadly, these customer service teams dealt with a completely different story. Their customers had lost their servers, were having difficulty restoring a backup, couldn't find their installation disks, could not contact patients, and had no idea when patients would show up to a closed or destroyed practice. We wish those doctors a speedy recovery. My friends, you can choose which doctor you'll be should disaster strike your practice. You can be the doctor on the cloud who can be up and running in no time. Or you can be the doctor who will need time and money to restore an iffy backup. Read our true-life case study of one of our customers who lost their computers to theft. Then call one of our good-looking dental software experts to learn more. The number to call is 888-910-4376. |

The 'Secret' to an Efficient, Effective Team
|
 | | Jan Keller |

Power Thought: Jan Keller and Associates
Do you have a hiring and evaluation game plan in place? Have you put in writing what each job in your practice entails -- the skills, abilities, responsibilities and duties you want the position to encompass? Do you have a clear picture in your head of the person you want to hire, and the duties and responsibilities you want them to take on? Some questions to ask: - Do your team members know what is expected of them when they are hired? Too often we set our employees up to fail because we do not have a training plan in place to help them succeed.
- Are you hiring someone who wants a job, or are you looking for someone who wants a career in dentistry?
- Do you expect your staff to perform duties outside their main job description? If so what will those duties include?
If you are the person being hired, take a proactive approach. For instance, if you are a clinical or administrative assistant, ask whether there is a written job description listing the philosophy of the practice, job duties, responsibilities, and what skills are needed to perform those duties. Ask if there is a written training outline, as well as what the time line is, who will be training you and who will be evaluating your performance. Relationships based on trust, confidence and accountability work. As the team leader, it is vital that you begin to establish that relationship on day one - and then treat every day as day one! Need some help getting started? Check our these great resources: Begin today to create the environment and develop the skills you need to have the happy, productive, efficient and effective team you deserve and desire.

You Can Do Hard Things!
|
 | | J. Brek Magill, DDS |
|
Power Thought: Clarity Dental Consulting
You can do hard things! You were admitted to dental school. Worked your way through mounds of information and honed your didactic skills. Passed National and regional board exams. Now all you need to do is just practice dentistry, right? Until it hit you that you are responsible for hiring staff, managing staff, training staff, accounts receivable, accounts payable, supplies, marketing & advertising, continuing education, quality control, insurance submission, insurance plan review, equipment purchase & maintenance, payroll, quarterly tax preparation, facility management and the list goes on. Now add to that some common concerns; when do I remodel, expand my facility, add an associate. What is fair compensation for the people that help me accomplish all of this? Add to this all of the other hats that you might be wearing in your public and private life. The final straw might be that you are working on all of the above while you are determined to give your clients the best treatment and treatment experience they have ever had. It isn't surprising that there can be stress in the life of a dental practitioner. Sometimes we dentists are so absorbed in providing quality dentistry to our patients that we don't stop and evaluate what it is we are doing. Outstanding entrepreneurs realize the importance of monitoring and evaluating their business systems and practices. Dentistry is no different. Take some time to evaluate where it is you want to go. If you don't have a destination, you will never know when you've arrived. The current buzz word is "vision". Vision is an excellent descriptor because if you can't see where you want to go the chances of obtaining your goal are diminished. Work with experienced professionals to focus your vision and provide an objective analysis of where you are and where you want to go. Then you can see clearly what needs to occur in a prioritized manner. In dental terms you and I would say, "seek a comprehensive exam for your practice and establish an excellent treatment plan". It makes sense for our patients...it makes sense for our practice.More About Clarity Dental Consulting... |
