FAQ
Because the dentist will finally know “what is going on” right under his/her nose. Now they will know how the hygienist is performing (related to other hygienists) by percentile performance. Now they know how much money is left on the table by poor clinical protocols related to x-rays, fluoride, sealants, SRP, etc. The money is in the “THOUSANDS”. Now they know their own treatment idiosyncrasies and clinical treatment intensity (by percentile compared to other dentists)—and just how they do crown & bridge, buildups, etc. With this knowledge they immediately discover thousands of dollars left-on-the-table. Also, improved patient treatment will evolve with this valuable knowledge. Name a better investment than looking at your own practice. Don’t you want to know how you COMPARE?I have doctor busyness problems. I’m thinking about joining a PPO or starting to advertise. That’s the last thing you should do—unfortunately, you are thinking like a dentist! YOU ARE TOTALLY LOOKING IN THE WRONG PLACE TO INCREASE DOCTOR BUSYNESS—at least for now. Doctor Busyness comes from five critical factors: New Patient Flow, quantity of hygiene patient checks, service mix breadth, Clinical Treatment Intensity, and case acceptance. The knee-jerk reaction to Doctor Busyness problems is “I need more new patients”. New patient flow is just one of FIVE busyness factors. No, LOOK AT THE OTHER FOUR FACTORS OTHER THAN NEW PATIENT FLOW. That’s the SECRET of where to look and PracticeBooster SPOTLIGHTS the way! PPO write-offs and advertising costs REAL money while both decrease net income—quit looking there!

Why is the Clinical Treatment Intensifier and Busyness Optimizer Report used by the Analyst different from any other analysis program?
No other software analysis program measures the provider’s Clinical Treatment Intensity (by percentile) and tells the dentist/hygienist how they COMPARE. Plus, the Busyness Optimizer reveals the SOLUTION. Only dental insurance companies have this SECRET t knowledge—until NOW. Examine the other FAQ’s and other areas of this website to gain a greater understanding of the Clinical Treatment Intensifier (CTIsm) plus the doctor Busyness Optimizer. Don’t you want to know how you COMPARE?
The Consultation is only available for the general dentist or prosthodontist.
Who is authorized to consult with dentists regarding the PracticeBooster® Consultation?
Only PracticeBooster® Analysts are authorized. Is Staff involved in the consultation?
No, the Consultation only involves the dentist-owner (employee dentists are optional) and the PracticeBooster®Analyst. It is optional for the dentist to share the report with the hygienist and staff at a later time.
Who developed the PracticeBooster® Consultation?
PracticeBooster® was developed by Dr. Charles Blair, dentistry’s mathematician,
Trip Blair BA, and the programming staff.
How is The PracticeBooster® Consultation priced?
The PracticeBooster® service is a measly $665 for three months ($1,995)—with a Guaranteed 20 to 1 result, provided you comply with our recommendations. This investment (in your practice) knocks the pants off conventional investments such as the stock market and bonds. The PracticeBooster® service includes an initial interview of the practice data submitted , then a consultation for several hours, then a follow up consultation. THUS, YOU WILL TAKE ACTION.

My fee schedule is low. Am I at a disadvantage or will it affect the Consultation?
No. This particular Consultation is not about evaluating your fees. It is all about spotlighting the hygienist and dentist’s clinical treatment tendencies and the “way they practice”. Plus, it optimizes doctor busyness. When fees do come into certain treatment ratios, a “standardized fee” feature provides an “apples to apples” comparison of practices regardless of their geography or fee profile.
As a solo provider, will I be at a disadvantage for evaluating clinical procedure counts when compared to multi-doctor practices?
No. The Workday Equilizersm automatically calculates the equivalent work day procedure count for an “apples-to-apples” comparison of all doctors and hygienist on a level playing field, regardless of Workday counts.
What can I expect from the Clinical Treatment Intensifiersm (CTIsm) Report?
The CTI Report will illustrate your dentist/hygienist clinical procedure intensity by measuring over 50 of your clinical idiosyncrasies—good and bad. You and your hygienist will be measured by percentile (measured against your peers). Then, you will be shown the money “left on the table” because of your lower (than other provider) clinical treatment intensities. Money can’t buy this INSIGHT anywhere else. Don’t you want to know how you COMPARE?
The fee for the PracticeBooster® Consultation seems high.
Related to what? The money left-on-the-table by under diagnosing or under treating patients (compared to peers) is absolutely ASTOUNDING! For about the cost of a couple crowns, the dentist can really find out what the heck is happening in his/her practice. No consulting service has this rate of return for the investment. Others promise and have “fluff”, but PracticeBooster® delivers “substance”—you can take it to the bank!. Unfortunately, many dentists are cost-oriented rather than revenue savvy.
It’s unfortunately true that the dentist really needing a consultant rarely uses one. The dentists that use consultants are generally doing well but want to do “better”. That’s how the system works! Ten to fifteen percent are always “hurting” regardless of the economy or any other external factors. This group will continue to do so and would NEVER use a consultant!
What practice data is required for the PracticeBooster® Consultation?
Only a fee schedule, ADA procedure count report for a six or twelve month timeline, and the answers to a Data Form Questionnaire are required. It might take all of 30-45 minutes to get it together. Download the form now and take action.
Is the PracticeBooster® Consultation’s written report limited in any way?
Yes, the report is generated subject to any terms, limitations, copyrights, trademarks, and patent-pending issues as outlined in the report.
Why does the PracticeBooster® Consultation go beyond ANY other practice analysis or consultation?
No one has the Database to know exactly how the dentist and hygienist clinically practice and a SYSTEM to COMMUNICATE it in lay terms. Insurance companies write dentist letters that they are doing “too much treatment” on their patient base. They NEVER write that the dentist is practicing inadequately, or performing at lower percentiles with their patients. Only the PracticeBooster® Consultation will inform you of “where you are” compared to your peers, and it is the dentist’s sole role as what you do with the information and changes he/she makes, if any in your clinical treatment. Remember, doctor, it is your standard of care ultimately.
How does the Money Makersm (money-left-on-the-table) feature work?
This feature calculates the potential revenues where dentist-mandated protocols are breaking down (not taking x-rays properly, fluoride, sealants, SRP, etc.) or the dentist’s Clinical Treatment Intensity is lower than peers. The dentist-client is solely responsible for any practice protocol or clinical procedure intensity changes made in the practice.
Why is an Analyst required to interpret and help with the PracticeBooster® Report? Can’t I do it alone?
The Report, at first blush, can appear to be quite complicated and mathematical (the developer of PracticeBooster®, Dr. Charles Blair has a degree in mathematics). A trained Analyst will be quite helpful and add critical added value to the process. Furthermore, the Analyst adds an “accountability” factor with the follow-up consultation which guarantees huge investment returns with your commitment to change
I’m still skeptical. You are a dentist, right? Everyday you are hit with somebody trying to get into your pocketbook. With all the “stimulus” and “noise” of mailers, come-ons, etc., and everyone trying to “sell” you something, its difficult to separate all the “fluff” from the real “stuff”. Just what is Dr. Blair’s reputation over many, many years? Does he have “fluff” or has he always had the “stuff”. Yes, PracticeBooster® has the “stuff”. NOW there’s a guide to get you dramatically in the right direction you’re your practice. Don’t you want to know how you COMPARE?
