Advertising on Major Medical Directories? Is it Worth the Effort?

In order to stay abreast of developments in the current health care marketplace, many private practices and health care providers consider advertising on large online medical directories. It’s not an uncommon belief that simply by listing your practice on one of these directories, you will see an increase in new patient business. But the fact is that this is not always the case. Major medical directories are useful as a place to list your information so that patients who are already using your practice can quickly and easily find your contact information – and this can often assist them in promoting your business by word of mouth. But beyond that, most major medical directories do not do much in terms of boosting the online presence or overall visibility of health care providers’ practices. Not only that, but these directories generally all offer the same basic provider information. This makes it difficult for patients to do any real comparison of providers, their services offered, or their pricing structures for the procedures they perform.

Your Online Presence

As patients are becoming increasingly connected via the internet and mobile devices, it’s critical for individual providers to distinguish themselves online. In a competitive health care market, the best thing you can do for your practice in order to attract new business is to ensure that your web presence is not only prominent but also comprehensive. It’s important to make sure that patients can access all of the information they need to make the decision to come to your practice instead of your competitors’. This means they should be able to find out what procedures you offer, what the prices for those procedures are, and whether you offer any package rates. This is especially important as more patients are shopping around for the most affordable health care prices, and most major health care directories simply do not give you the option provide this information.

Procedure Reviews

As patients increasingly search for health care providers online, having reliable procedure reviews for potential patients to read is becoming more and more vital to bringing in new business. Currently, consumers rely on user reviews for everything from Amazon purchases to deciding which restaurant to dine at – and they are relying on them to choose health care providers as well. The best way to stay ahead of the curve is to make sure you provide potential patients with reviews of your procedures from multiple search engines.

That’s precisely what Yempl gives your practice. Yempl is a searchable database of over eighty specialties and dozens of medical procedures that allows you to display patient reviews from multiple search engines – right next to your profile and a breakdown of your procedure costs. Presented with this information, patients are far more likely to choose your services over a practice that simply lists credentials and contact information. Help your practice attract new patients with Yempl’s support. You’ll start to see the difference right away.

How to Get More Patients into Your Medical Office

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, American adults visited their doctors an average of 3.9 times in 2010, which was less than the 4.8 recorded in the previous year. This was because they believed themselves to be quite healthy; in the Health Status, Health Insurance, and Medical Services Utilization: 2010 report, 63% said that they were in “excellent” or “very good health”. However, it’s been four years since then, and adults in their thirties at the time are halfway through the 78.7 life expectancy average in the U.S.

With many ailments like hypertension and diabetes hitting people before reaching middle age, expect a shift in trends and more patients at your medical office. However, you need to be prepared to make sure that your practice is the main choice for future patients. One way of achieving this task is by listing prices for procedure or service on www.yempl.com.

How Can Medical Providers Increase Cash Flow?

In the current health care environment, one of the most important concerns health care providers are dealing with is determining how to increase the cash flow into their practice. Insurance providers can take months to pay claims, and in the interim health care providers have to make sure they are bringing in enough cash payments to make up the difference and maintain profitability and practice viability.

One of the best ways health care providers can ensure they are maintaining – and increasing – the cash flow into their practice is by improving their visibility online. As the health care landscape becomes increasingly digitized, more and more patients are searching for providers online. By ensuring that your practice has an outstanding online profile and excellent visibility, you can increase your cash inflow dramatically and without affecting your overhead significantly.

Due to the high cost of deductibles under the Affordable Care Act – popularly known as Obama Care – more and more patients are either opting out altogether or simply trying to find the most affordable out-of-pocket prices for doctor visits and medical procedures. Along with increasing the overall online profile for your practice, Yempl also provides patients with a searchable database that displays the per-procedure costs of a number of different procedures.

The Importance of Medical Procedure Reviews

In the modern digital marketplace, online consumer reviews can have a major impact on a business’s reputation, and either drive new clients to it or away from it. A business can have overwhelmingly positive reviews, but consumers can be a fickle bunch, and just a handful of negative online reviews can drastically affect business. Often, a business isn’t even aware of the impact online reviews are having on its profit margins until it’s too late to fix the problem. This concern is beginning to affect health care providers as well as main street businesses, as patients are becoming increasingly empowered to find doctors online.

Online Reviews

One of the problems with general online reviews is that some consumers can find problems that have nothing to do with the service, the business – or, for health care providers, the practice – is providing them. They may be frustrated for reasons that have nothing to do with their visit, and take issue with their interaction with the front desk receptionist, the hold times on the phone, overall aesthetic appearance of the office, or any number of trivial things that are ultimately out of the practitioner’s control. The result is a one-star rating in which the patient angrily trashes every aspect of their visit, in spite of the fact that the procedure itself was performed perfectly by the health care provider.

Rate Medical Procedures and Not Office

Because of this, patients may have a more difficult time finding the right health care provider based on general office visit reviews alone. And most patients report that they are less interested in visit aspects like the telephone hold time or receptionist experience than they are with the procedural competence of the health care provider. That’s why Yempl provides patients with the ability to rate procedures instead of the overall office visit experience.

Yempl is a searchable database of health care providers, services and procedures that allows patients to find the provider that is right for their health care needs as well as their budget. In Yempl’s search results, patients can see the prices for dozens of different procedures performed by more than eighty types of specialists. They can also see patient ratings and read patient reviews of the specific procedures. This allows patients to make fully informed decisions about which health care provider is best suited to their preferences and budget.

Visit Yempl today to search for a health care provider in your area. Compare rates and read patient reviews for procedures in categories including Internal Medicine, Obstetrics and Gynecology, Urology, Physical Therapy, Ophthalmology, and Gastroenterology. With the information provided, you are empowered and informed to find the provider who is just right for you – based on specific procedure reviews that you can use to make the right decision.
