The Challenge

Sound familiar?

Uninsured patients delay treatment

Over 70 million Americans lack dental insurance. In-house membership plans give them affordable access to cleanings, exams, and treatment discounts — so they say yes to care.

Chasing outstanding balances

Create a payment link and share it via email or your existing systems. Patients tap, pay, and you get funded — no stamps, no statements, no follow-up calls.

Large treatment plans cause sticker shock

Offer monthly payment plans for crowns, implants, and full-mouth restorations. Patients enroll themselves online and payments collect automatically.

FAQ

Common questions

How do in-house dental membership plans work?
You create membership tiers (e.g., Individual, Couple, Family) with included benefits like cleanings, exams, and X-rays, plus percentage-off discounts on treatment. Patients sign up through a link you share, enter their payment method on a secure checkout page, and billing happens automatically each month or year.
Can patients sign up for payment plans on their own?
Yes. You create a payment plan link with the treatment amount and terms, then share it via text or email. The patient enrolls themselves, enters their payment method, and installments are collected automatically.
What does it cost to use PatientPayments?
Our Starter plan is free with a small technology fee per transaction. The Growth plan is also free but the practice absorbs the fee for a cleaner patient experience. Pro is $299/month per location with zero transaction fees. Visit our pricing page for full details.
Do I need to handle credit card data?
No. All payment information is collected on secure, PCI-compliant checkout pages. Card data never touches your systems, keeping you out of PCI scope.
Can I add family members to a membership?
Absolutely. Family plans support spouses and dependents. Each member gets their own benefit allotment, and the subscriber manages everything from a single account.
