Collecting money in a practice tends to be one of the more difficult tasks. At times, odd emotions get in the way. Sometimes we feel guilt over charging a patient for something they need, a service they receive. We attempt to lighten the guilt feeling by making unsanctioned collections agreements or even avoiding to collect altogether. Balances can loom over our heads at times and can cause patients to resist returning to the practice. Dr. Kuba and Bethany tackle this topic today. It is a MUST listen as collections are pivotal to the success of every practice. Stay tuned in the June Subscription for even more collections tips and training!

Last week’s episode probably sounds like a beautiful pipe dream….so today, Dr. Kuba asks the hard question, “Can you really truly pass things off to team members?” She and Bethany discuss the times where tasks are passed off and teams either fail to accomplish them OR are not equipped to complete the task successfully. In this episode, Dr. Kuba and Bethany discuss how to ensure that the right people receive the right tasks. The DRI program can work, but it requires a well thought out plan.

Bethany and Dr. Kuba take a more serious tone today as they address the very real hardships of leadership, management, and practice ownership. The bottom line is – it is extremely difficult. Struggling to successfully manage a dental practice and team is so challenging, in fact, that it can feel isolating…..like nobody truly understands the stresses of it all. The isolation can often lead to loneliness and even relationship struggles. Dr. Kuba reflects on how her expectations of her husband changed over the course of practice ownership and how she learned to find support in a variety of ways. While this episode is deep, it is absolutely essential to wrestle through this topic in order to comfort and positive coping strategies.
