A message from Scott Hornbuckle, Chief Financial Officer at Benevis. 

COVID-19 has created a new set of challenges for small businesses across the country, especially in the dental industry. With a variety of unique risks present at dental offices given the transmission method of COVID-19, many practices have been forced to close.

At Benevis, we continue to provide dental practice management services to more than 150 practices across the country with a redoubled emphasis on health and safety. By supporting the ability of the doctors and staff in each practice to work safely, both child and adult patients can continue to receive top of the line care and treatments essential to oral health.

In response to the current economic conditions, we recently announced that we have secured significant additional funding so that our business can maintain normal operations while also filing for Chapter 11 protections as a measure to improve our balance sheet and operating position. While there are many hardships being faced by healthcare practices around the country, we remain positive that this is an opportunity for a new beginning at Benevis.

We are committed to helping dentists provide the highest quality services and care to millions of patients each year. While the economic impact of COVID-19 has caused us to pursue a reorganization, we believe we will emerge stronger than ever to continue this mission.

Improving the Doctor Experience

Dentistry is an essential service for the wellbeing of Americans, we are actively developing ways to support and empower dentists across the country.

We continue to make innovative enhancements to our infrastructure to address the administrative needs of dental practitioners. Our back-office services ensure less managerial headaches, less lab and license fee issues and an environment where dentists are able to focus on meeting the needs of their underserved patients. Benevis strikes a balance between autonomy and integration, creating a unique environment where doctors, team members and their patients can thrive.

Once such enhancement is a doctor portal Benevis is launching to provide a new level of transparency for dental practitioners. Doctors will have improved tools to see key metrics for each patient and procedure, providing detailed insight into patient safety, quality, productivity, and other key metrics. With this portal, we hope to improve the doctor experience and allow them to focus on what really matters – providing expert dental care to patients.

We look forward to continuing our partnerships with our valued practices and are confident we will emerge from the current economic circumstances stronger and well positioned for future growth.

Our priority is to help dentists focus on their patients while we support their day-to-day administrative burdens. We will ensure this is done in a way that protects the wellbeing of our team members, doctors and their patients at every turn. By adhering to robust safety procedures, we hope to promote the success and improved experience of dental practitioners across the country. Benevis will continue to build our business and enhance our infrastructure to support dentists as we face this changing landscape.

We will come out of restructuring as a stronger company while maintaining normal operations for our patients and team members along the way. We remain focused on our mission and will continue to enhance our ability to help dentists improve their professional and personal wellbeing, as we have since 2002. Thank you for your support as we continue on this journey forward together.
