I built these for myself first.
I am a general dentist. I trained at the Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine at Boston University, did a residency at Lincoln Hospital in the Bronx, and I practice in Massachusetts three days a week.
As an associate I wanted to know whether I was any good, and there was no honest way to find out. Production totals measure the practice's engine, not the dentist. So I built a card that measured me per opportunity: what I found, what I said out loud, what was accepted. I ran it for sixteen months. It told me things the practice's reports could not, and a few things I did not want to hear.
Then I started looking at practices to buy, and found the same problem one level up. The numbers in a broker's package are the most favorable defensible version of the truth, and I could not find a neutral benchmark to hold them against. I checked. Hundreds of sources. There is none. So I wrote down the method that works without one: the practice's numbers against its own history, and mine against my own baseline.
The operations manual, the chart-note library, the intake forms, the claim narratives, the budget, and the training coach came the same way. Each one exists because I needed it in an office that did not have it. Bilanx is those tools, made portable, for the dentist who is where I was.
I do not sell practices and I do not represent sellers. Nothing here is paid for by a broker. That is the whole reason it can say what it says.
My practice website is paulmccarthydmd.com. The training coach is in free beta at coach.paulmccarthydmd.com.
