Meet the teamAccountability
We take the administration off the dentist
At Southwest Management Group we strive to establish accountability for the daily tasks of the staff. In doing so, we minimize the amount of time the dentist needs to be involved in the administrative functions of the practice.
Scheduling
A schedule that holds, fills itself and reflects what the practice actually needs to produce.
Financial arrangements
Scripted conversations so money is agreed before treatment, not chased after it.
Accounts receivable
A collections routine that runs on a calendar rather than on whoever remembers.
Recare system
Patients of record who come back, and a process for the ones who have drifted away.
Treatment plan follow up
Diagnosed treatment that gets scheduled instead of quietly disappearing.
Insurance
Claims that go out clean and get paid quickly rather than sitting in a queue.
On site, not at arm's length
We work inside your practice
Being in your office and working with your staff lets us experience the day to day in a way that off-site management does not. Every office has features and personality traits that can only be assessed by getting to know the practice personally.
That is why we hold two to three meetings with you each month, call in between, and often sit in on your monthly staff meeting to review how things are going and set goals for the month ahead.
