A practical guide
What to weigh up
A practical starting point for comparing providers, preparing questions and agreeing a clear scope of work.
| What to ask | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Provider scheme or your own? | A provider handles collection, compliance and administration for a fee. Running your own keeps more of the money and gives you more to do. |
| What does it cost the practice? | Per patient per month, and what that leaves you. Model it across your whole list, not on a single patient. |
| What is included? | Check ups, hygiene, x rays, and what discount plan patients get on treatment. Too generous and it costs you, too thin and nobody joins. |
| How are patients converted? | This is a conversation at the chair more than a marketing campaign. The team needs a simple explanation and a reason to raise it. |
| What happens with NHS patients? | Converting an NHS list to private plans is a strategic decision with real risk. Take proper advice before you start. |
| Who owns the patient relationship? | If you left the scheme, what happens to the patients on it? Ask before you sign. |

What we add
Where our side of it fits.
Plan pages that explain it
A clear page with what is included, what it costs monthly, and how to join in two taps.
Conversion campaigns to your list
Email, text and WhatsApp to existing patients, which is where nearly all plan sign ups come from.
Materials for the chair
Something for the team to hand over, because this is sold in person more than online.
Connected work
Where this touches your marketing.
Straight answers
Common questions.
Should we run a plan at all?
If you have a stable list and want predictable revenue, usually yes. If your diary is empty, fill it first. We would say so.
Do you get paid by plan providers?
Details awaiting verification.
Can you market a plan to NHS patients?
Carefully, and with advice. Converting an NHS list is a significant decision with contractual and reputational implications, and it is not a marketing decision alone.
