Many clinic owners believe free discovery visits help convert more patients.

In reality, they often destroy your Revenue Per Visit, lower schedule efficiency, and create unnecessary friction in your intake process. In this training, we break down why discovery visits can quietly damage clinic profitability and what high-performing clinics do instead.

If your clinic struggles with no-shows, low RPV, or inefficient scheduling, this video will show you the operational and financial impact of free screens and how to transition toward a stronger intake model.

Inside this video, you’ll learn:

• Why discovery visits reduce patient commitment

• How free screens distort Revenue Per Visit metrics

• The scheduling inefficiencies most clinic owners overlook

• Compliance risks when using free screens with federal payers

• How clinics can transition away from discovery visits without hurting conversions
