Your brief
You are meeting with Beth at the dental front office right after her exam. She is unsure about the recommended treatment plan, focused on the cost, and not yet convinced it needs to happen now. Your goal in this conversation is to build trust, explain the value in plain language, and help Beth reach a comfortable decision without feeling pressured.
Why it's hard
Beth is hearing two different stories: the clinical recommendation from the exam, and the number at the bottom of the estimate. If you answer with policy, jargon, or a sales tone, her doubt hardens fast. She wants a reason she can trust for doing this now, not a script about financing.
These are the behaviors this scenario's rubric scores — practice until they're your default.
Treatment plan acceptance training is practice for explaining a recommended dental plan to a hesitant patient. In this scenario, you speak with Beth Caldwell, a voice AI patient in your browser, then get a percentage score, feedback, and a transcript based on how clearly and respectfully you handled cost and timing concerns.
