Why should I write down the fee range I quote a patient?
Because you will forget it, and the patient will not. The moment you say a range out loud you have set walls. The final treatment options and fees have to land inside those walls, or you look inconsistent and untrustworthy. So note exactly what you said on the chart, in writing, every time. There is a blank for it on my checklist for a reason. Weeks later, when you are constructing the actual plan, that written number keeps you honest and keeps you from drifting outside the range you promised. Quote a patient eight to twelve thousand and then present fifteen, and you have detonated your own credibility. Get the numbers right up front, write them down, and let your future self present a plan that fits the expectations you already set.
If the answers you are finding here resonate with you, my team and I work with a small group of clients each year. The next step is a complimentary Discovery Consultation and Practice Review with Dr. McAnally.
