Topic: Profit & Loss Workshop

Speaker: Michelle Affanato

Topic Details: In the Profit and Loss workshop, bring a sample P&L, we would look at the categories, break them out, look at percentages (industry norm vs what the practice is doing), and discuss ways to "decrease" expenses. 1. Determine the practice's break-even point, determine the budget for advertising, dental supplies, lab fees, etc. 2. Analyze a Production, Income, and Adjustment report to understand the percentage of write-offs and how much needs to be produced/collected 3. We would do an exercise - the Dental Funnel, where we look at what the break-even point is and any "wish list items" to determine the ultimate collection goal. From there we determine how much needs to be produced, scheduled, presented, and accepted. By the end of the workshop, everyone should have a better understanding of where the practice should be and be able to take back the formulas to present to their doctors and set fair and achievable goals for the practice.
