MORRISVILLE, Pa., July 15 /PRNewswire/ -- Dental practices can make more money and improve employee performance with two new training programs offered by Visionary Management, Inc. (VMI).

"Our programs are for self-motivated doctors who are serious about practice growth and committed to professional excellence and personal development," said Peter Gopal, President of Visionary Management. "Real-world practice problems are complex and are usually not solved by purchasing a book. Neither can they be solved with free advice and opinions offered by various online dental communities. These types of products and services can sometimes be helpful, but rarely do they help increase production in a significant or sustainable way."

The two programs are delivered in the dentist's office so you don't have to travel and will not disrupt day-to-day care.

"Your front desk staff can dramatically impact office production. The following training programs will help you elevate their skills and increase your office production. The programs are customized and personalized for your office," Gopal said.

Training is designed to help your front desk staff learn concepts and develop skills to solve specific problems at your dental practice. Written materials and scripts are provided.

To ensure that your staff has grasped the material, VMI includes follow-up support for 60 days (at no additional charge). During this period, VMI will work one-on-one with your staff by telephone and email to help them with implementation.

Each in-office seminar concludes with the development of a customized action plan for your office and team.

The first program is Schedule Optimizer(TM). This program will help increase production from a better schedule. Staff will learn:

• The three primary reasons why patients don't keep their appointments.
• How to control the appointment book.
• Verbal skills to reduce appointment cancels and no-shows.
• What systems to put in place to fill the gaps in your schedule.
• How to schedule to achieve desired production goals.

The second program is Get Off the Collections Treadmill(TM).  This program will speed up collections and improve cash flow, while preserving relationships with patients. Staff will learn how to:

• Achieve 98.5% collections.
• Dramatically reduce the amount and age of accounts receivables.
• Avoid common coding errors.
• Present financial options and collect payment due at the time of service.
• Deal with non-payment by insurance.
• Streamline the process for billing and claims submission.

These in-office Training Programs for front desk staff are offered in PA, NJ, DE, NY, CT and MD. Additional information can be found at: http://www.visionary-management.com/training_programs.php

"We guarantee the quality of our work and provide ongoing support and guidance for implementation," Gopal said. Training and consulting are provided only by the firm's founders, Peter Gopal, PhD, and Hema Gopal, DMD, so you do not work with any junior personnel.
