A substantial conversion in a short time-frame

I contacted CODEplan in February 2006 and asked them if they could carry out a full practice conversion within 9 weeks, I intended to go fully private by April 1st 2006. I have a 6 surgery practice in Leicestershire and there were about 12,000 NHS patients.

CODEplan met me and we planned a strategy for conversion at short notice. This was carried out and we now have 5,600 plan patients. The whole process was smooth and well-managed by CODEplan and we have benefited from tremendous support and training. The link with CODE and the expertise that this brings adds a whole new level of value to the CODEplan service and differentiates it from the other plan providers.

We are now much more profitable and less pressurised than when we were NHS. I am very happy to recommend CODEplan, if you are considering it and would like to speak to me about the experience please email me on info@HighStreetDental.me.uk or contact the CODEplan office with your phone number and I will arrange to phone you.

Transfer from another plan provider

I set up a dental plan with another company but I was never happy with the administration. After contacting CODEplan I was told that they would manage the transfer of their patients over to CODEplan and would also be able to save me money on the administration charge and also provide a better service. CODEplan organised the transfer very efficiently and led me through the process step-by step. I now have 500 patients on my plan and I benefit from free CODE membership and also free subscription to Clinical Governance Made Simple.

It is interesting to mention that my practice had over 60% of exempt patients before I carried out the original conversion from NHS to private, dental plan practice. I would be happy to give a personal recommendation, please contact me by email at sketani@msn.com

A children’s only plan

I own a four surgery private practice in London SW14, which had always treated children under the NHS scheme until the original conversion. My NHS contract was for children only, but upon its termination I decided to put a dental plan in its place.
The staff at CODEplan have been extremely helpful and the conversion went without a hitch. I find the CODE membership services and Clinical Governance Made Simple really helpful and the CODE compliance modules very simple to implement. My PCT wrote to me after my practice inspection complementing my practice management and organisation systems. I am happy to speak about my experience or answer any questions if you contact me on nickbenger@btconnect.com.

A conversion in the South-East, where there is much competition

My practice is a 6 surgery property in Ruislip Middlesex. I carried out a CODEplan conversion by April 1st 2006 and I am now fully private. My turnover has increased considerably and we are all working at a more relaxed pace. CODEplan has been very helpful during the conversion and are now giving us consultancy for private practice development, they are even training our dentists how to ethically sell. I would be pleased to give a reference by email on kingsend.dental@btopenworld.com

The revival of a closed NHS practice

I live in a small village in Kent and in May 2005 I became aware that a local single-handed NHS practice had just closed. It had been for sale for over twelve months yet the principal was unable to sell it. In the end he had to retire and close the door. I approached him and agreed to buy the building and equipment, following this I wrote to the previous NHS patients and offered them a dental plan. There were 1100 patients and of these 400 signed up to the plan. I considered this to be a good start, especially as they had been given notice that the practice was closing three months earlier and I was not a dentist they had ever met .

The practice is now fully private and we turned over £175k in our first year, which is a gratifying, especially as I currently work there part time. It was CODEplan who developed this strategy, that’s why I consider that being able to draw upon their understanding of dental business to be one of the main benefits of being with CODEplan. Please email me at keithpeirce@btinternet.com if you would like any more information.
