Question 1

What should be included in the 'Direct Cost of Package'?

Accepted Answer

This should include all variable costs directly related to delivering the aftercare services. Examples: cost of physical therapy sessions, nurse or caregiver home visits, specialized medical supplies, rental of recovery equipment, and transportation for follow-up appointments.

Question 2

What is 'Added Profit on Main Procedure' and how do I estimate it?

Accepted Answer

This is the extra profit you make on the primary surgery because the patient chose this comprehensive package. For example, if you can charge $500 more for a 'Premium Surgery + Aftercare' bundle than for the surgery alone, and your costs don't change, that $500 is added profit. It reflects the value the aftercare adds to your core offering.

Question 3

Why would I offer a package if its direct ROI is negative (a 'loss leader')?

Accepted Answer

A package might be a 'loss leader' if it significantly increases the conversion rate of your main, highly profitable procedures. Patients may choose you over a competitor *because* of your superior aftercare program. The small loss on the package is justified by the large profit from the surgery that you otherwise would not have secured.

Question 4

How do high-quality aftercare packages improve patient satisfaction?

Accepted Answer

Excellent aftercare demonstrates a commitment to the patient's full recovery journey, not just the surgery itself. It reduces patient anxiety, improves clinical outcomes, and provides a sense of security, especially for international patients. This leads to better reviews, testimonials, and word-of-mouth referrals.

Question 5

Should I list aftercare packages separately or bundle them into the main procedure price?

Accepted Answer

Both strategies can work. Listing them separately provides transparency and allows for tiered 'good, better, best' options. Bundling them creates a simpler, all-inclusive price that can be a powerful marketing tool. You can use this calculator to model the profitability of both approaches.
