Can you believe the holidays are almost here? Before the hustle and bustle of the holiday season kicks into full gear, now is the perfect time to remind your patients to maximize their insurance benefits, spread some holiday cheer, and ensure they are happy and healthy all season long. With these tried and true tips to keep patients smiling, you’ll skate through these busy months and soak in the holiday cheer. Let’s dive in!

One Last “Use It or Lose It” Push

It’s no secret that the upcoming season can be a whirlwind! Patients may need a gentle reminder to schedule a speedy appointment so they can use up their benefits before they expire at the end of the year. If your practice is active on social media, craft some posts to make an announcement! A simple social campaign is a quick, creative way to reach out to patients and remind them that benefits for the calendar year restart after December 31st. Sending out an email blast is also a great way to ensure each of your patients is notified that their benefits won’t last long. Looking for another way to make sure patients get the memo? Adding a countdown on your website can effectively and efficiently remind existing patients to “use it or lose it” without taking up significant space on your homepage.

A Letter Goes A Long Way

Keeping in touch with your loyal patients and sending a simple holiday message can make a big impact! Write out a personal letter recapping your team’s year and spreading holiday cheer to your patients. You can even include photos, personal updates, or new year’s resolutions to give it an extra special touch. It’s the little things that go a long way, and hand-crafted holiday letters will be sure to resonate with your patients!
