Kleer
Kleer is an advanced, cloud-based platform that enables dentists to easily design and manage their own membership plan and offer it directly to their patients. Kleer is turn-key and free to implement. As everyone knows, dental health is critical to overall health. Unfortunately, 50% of US consumers do not visit the dentist annually and patients decline over 50% of recommended treatment. Our research shows that patients avoid dental visits and decline treatment due to cost, fear of cost, and not having coverage. The good news is that 89% of uninsured consumers are interested in purchasing a dental care plan, but believe dental insurance is too expensive and complex. So, how can dentists increase patient visits, treatment acceptance and the value of their practice while providing their uninsured patients with the comprehensive, affordable dental care they want and need? Membership plans are the answer. Kleer is the solution. Membership plans are dental care plans offered by dentists directly to their patients. Patients pay a monthly or annual subscription directly to their dentist in return for preventive care and discounts off all other treatment. Membership plans are a great option for existing uninsured patients, retiring patients that are losing dental benefits, dormant patients that avoid visits due to cost or lack of coverage, and uninsured consumers that never visit the dentist. Using the Kleer cloud-based platform, dentists can easily design and implement their own dental membership plan. Kleer is free and easy to implement, taking 15 minutes to design and launch a plan. Patients can then purchase a care plan from their dentists' web site, the Kleer.com web site, the Kleer Mobile App or their dentist's front desk. And patient subscription and treatment payments are made directly to their dentist, not a 3rd party insurer or discount plan. The result is affordable, comprehensive dental coverage for patients and a dental care plan that works for dentists.
