Patient Plan Direct appoints new head of business development to strengthen operations

15 January 2020

Patient Plan Direct is delighted to announce the appointment of Angela Beale as the new head of business development, marking the start of an exciting second decade for the company.

Angela has a strong track record spanning 25 years within the dental payment plan industry and was most recently head of sales at Simply Health Professionals (Denplan). 

Commenting on her new appointment at Patient Plan Direct, Angela said, “I have been watching Patient Plan Direct’s growth over the last 10 years with great interest. Their offering is so much more than just cost-based, and they have taken some real market share for their expertise and value, as well as the cost savings that their no-frills offering can deliver to practices.” 

She added, “I'm thrilled to start at the outset of 2020, to mark the beginning of an exciting decade for the business and to show more practices what they can achieve as a member of the Patient Plan Direct family.”

Angela continued, “I’m passionate about helping dental practices of all sizes achieve their business aims. Utilising a payment plan provides practices with the opportunity to offer patients the level of service and care they deserve in a well-funded, affordable way. I am excited to lead and support the business development team to allow the company to continue to innovate, ensuring we deliver a unique, bespoke solution to dental professionals. I am thrilled to be associated with Patient Plan Direct − a forward thinking business investing in customer-focused solutions.”

Angela joins the business at a particularly exciting time, as Patient Plan Direct showcases its ‘principal only move’ from NHS to private care, offering practices unfulfilled by the NHS contract a way to dip their toe in the private market, without risking patient numbers or team happiness.  

It is easy to switch plan provider nowadays, since the bulk change process means that practices can transfer plan patients’ direct debits (DDs) automatically from one plan provider to another electronically without the need for patients to sign new DD instructions. This gives practices the freedom to switch simply and easily to a new provider, without any patient disruption.

Patient Plan Direct offers cost-effective patient plans without compromising on service. Admin charges start at just £1 per patient and moving to Patient Plan Direct could save you up to £150k over five years.
