Hygienists Help Dental Practices Unlock 2x Practice Valuation (2xPV) Opportunities Through Collaboration with Dental, Airway & Financial Specialists

Introduction: Elevate Your Role with SMM-NMO As a Registered Dental Hygienist (RDH), your role has always been central to patient care. However, the opportunities for RDHs to expand their influence and significantly increase their income have never been greater. Imagine becoming a key driver in your dental practice's growth, earning an additional $25,000+ annually, and overseeing operations that double your practice’s valuation within five years.

Welcome to Sleep, Myo, Money (SMM) Network Management Organization (NMO)—an innovative platform that aligns RDHs, dentists, airway, and financial specialists to achieve measurable results. Through SMM-NMO, RDHs can take a leadership role in coordinating referrals and managing the financial systems that empower dental practices to grow sustainably and profitably.

A. SMM-NMO: Redefining RDH Leadership Unlike traditional roles, SMM-NMO positions RDHs as pivotal collaborators in three key areas:

• Sleep: Supporting dentists, who act as primary providers, to address airway health and related services.
• Myo: Expanding the RDH’s scope by delivering myofunctional therapy, enhancing patient outcomes and practice offerings.
• Money: Overseeing the coordination of financial services, aligning with dentists to make practices profitable while delegating essential tasks like tax management and investments to experts such as CPAs and fractional CFOs.

Through SMM-NMO, RDHs become integral in driving their practice’s growth while elevating their own career trajectory.

B. Expanding Referral Networks for Growth SMM-NMO enables RDHs to build and manage a referral network that delivers comprehensive care and increased revenue. For instance:

• Children’s Airway Care: Collaborate with pediatric dentists and orthodontists to address airway issues in young patients, creating a seamless care pathway.
• Integration with MyoPTs: Partner with Myofunctional Physical Therapists (MyoPTs), like Leslie Moe, to share referrals and offer integrated services that enhance patient care and income potential.
• Shared Billing Innovations: Facilitate structured billing arrangements that allow MyoRDHs and MyoPTs to collaborate while generating additional revenue for the dental practice.

This expanded network ensures superior patient care while unlocking significant financial opportunities for RDHs and their practices.

C. The RDH's Role in Financial Alignment SMM-NMO redefines the RDH’s contribution by integrating financial coordination into their role:

• Aligning with Dentists: RDHs work in partnership with dentists to ensure the practice is profitable while delegating operational and financial details to specialists.
• Delegating to Experts: Collaborate with CPAs, fractional CFOs, and tax advisors to implement strategies that maximize profitability and secure tax advantages.
• Sustainable Growth: Oversee the practice’s financial health, ensuring that systems are in place to “make money and keep the money they make.”

This alignment allows RDHs to take ownership of the financial aspects of their practice while ensuring all stakeholders work towards a unified goal.

D. Billing Innovations and Collaboration Opportunities One of the most exciting aspects of SMM-NMO is its potential for billing innovations and collaborative care. Traditionally, RDHs haven’t been able to bill health insurance directly, but SMM-NMO introduces:

• Sleep Billing Through Dentists: Facilitate health insurance billing for sleep and airway services rendered by dentists.
• Collaborative Billing with MyoPTs: Work alongside MyoPTs who are already billing health insurance, creating a structure that benefits all participants.
• Innovative Myo Services: Develop legitimate billing opportunities for MyoRDHs to increase income through health insurance and other channels.

These opportunities not only expand the RDH’s income potential but also enhance the overall financial health of the dental practice.

E. The Role of Technology in SMM-NMO Success SMM-NMO integrates cutting-edge tools to streamline operations and collaboration:

• SimbleTON SCRM: A social CRM that powers referral management, collaboration, and practice growth.
• Meetn: A customizable video conferencing platform tailored to RDHs and dentists, enabling professional, branded meetings.
• VideoSocials: Collaborative podcasting and communication tools that ensure marketing materials and referrals are tracked, acted upon, and monetized, increasing patient engagement, conversions, and future referrals.

These tools enhance the RDH’s ability to manage referrals, grow networks, and deliver measurable results.

F. Why SMM-NMO Works for RDHs and Dental Practices SMM-NMO isn’t just about increasing income—it’s about creating a scalable framework for long-term success. Key benefits include:

• Boosted Income: RDHs can earn an additional $25,000+ annually while contributing to the practice’s growth.
• Enhanced Collaboration: Work closely with dentists, MyoPTs, and financial professionals to deliver superior patient care.
• Leadership Opportunities: Take on a leadership role in referral and financial management, becoming an indispensable part of the dental team.

For dental practices, SMM-NMO delivers structured solutions that double valuation through improved collaboration, enhanced billing, and expanded referral networks.

G. Case Study: MyoRDHs Transforming Referral Networks A MyoRDH illustrates the power of SMM-NMO by collaborating with MyoPTs and dentists. This MyoRDH shares referrals with both MyoPTs and dentists, creating a dynamic network that benefits all participants:

• The MyoPT provides medical billing opportunities to the MyoRDH, helping to monetize airway and myofunctional therapy services.
• The dentist receives referrals from both the MyoRDH and MyoPT, expanding patient care offerings and increasing revenue.
• The MyoRDH manages these referrals while driving collaboration, ensuring superior care for patients and a steady stream of income for all professionals involved.

This innovative approach showcases the potential of SMM-NMO to transform traditional roles into lucrative opportunities by managing collaboration, referrals, and IP creation and implementation.

H. Professional Recognition Through SMM-NMO Joining SMM-NMO positions RDHs as leaders in their field. With structured programs and innovative IP, RDHs can:

• Elevate their professional reputation.
• Enhance their practice’s offerings through collaboration.
