LIFETIME PATIENT VALUE (LPV)
What is Patient Lifetime Value(LPV)?
LPV represents the average revenue you can anticipate earning from a single patient over the course of their entire relationship with your practice.
It enables companies to calculate the estimated monetary worth of a customer over their entire time doing business with them. It also helps you evaluate how much you can reasonably spend on acquiring each new patient based on your practice’s average conversion rate from lead to booked appointment.
Why is LPV important?
- Improve decision making
- Helps identify your ideal customers
- Forecasting for future cash flow
- Short Term Planning
- Long Term (Sale) Planning

This metric helps you estimate the total revenue a patient will generate over their entire relationship with your practice, allowing for better budgeting and marketing strategies. By knowing the LPV, you can determine how much you should spend on acquiring new patients, retaining existing ones, which services to offer, and what equipment to buy.
