20/20 Money Episode #259 -Creating your own patient-centric, in-house vision plan with Dr. Gina Wesley

October 23, 2023

Welcome to this episode of 20/20 Money! My guest on today’s show is Dr. Gina Wesley, OD.

Gina joins me back on the show to talk about the journey she’s been on over the better part of year simultaneously launching an in-house patient membership plan called “the 2020 club” while also going out of network with her last (and largest) vision care plan. Gina talks through how she proceeds to evaluate the impact that it was going to have on her practice and the goals that she set which initially defined success. She shares how she  communicated this strategy with all of her stakeholders: her associate ODs, her team, and the patients of the practice. She’s very transparent in this conversation by sharing her “before and after” numbers as it pertains to number of patients seen and how that’s translated into the impact on both her top line revenue as well her profit margins. Lastly, we talk about the personal head trash she worked through as the transition progressed and how she dealt with it.
