Popular Lead Nurturing Funnels
Most dermatology practices spend real money on digital marketing, Google ads, email blasts, seasonal promotions, and still watch conversion rates stay flat. The problem usually isn't the budget. It's that the campaigns aren't targeting the right patients with the right message at the right time.
The data to fix this already exists. It lives in ModMed, in the ICD-10 diagnosis codes attached to every patient encounter. A patient diagnosed with rosacea. A patient with actinic keratosis. A patient being treated for acne. Each of those diagnoses tells you something specific about what that patient needs next, and what they're most likely to respond to.
The gap is that almost no dermatology practice is actually using that data for marketing. Not because they don't want to. Because their CRM can't read it.
The typical dermatology marketing setup looks like this: ModMed handles clinical operations, a separate CRM or email platform handles patient communication, and a connector tool like Zapier or Keragon sits in the middle trying to pass data between them.
Those connectors are built to pass basic fields. Name, email, appointment date, maybe a service tag. They are not built to surface ICD-10 diagnosis codes, CPT procedure codes, or clinical encounter data. That information stays locked in the EMR where it can't inform a single campaign.
The result is generic marketing. Every patient gets the same seasonal Botox email. The same "we miss you" reactivation message. No context, no personalization, no connection to what that patient actually has going on clinically. And generic marketing produces generic results.
This is the same problem we've covered in detail when looking at why CRMs fail to convert leads when they can't access EMR data. The diagnosis gap is the same issue, just further downstream.
When your CRM can actually read the ICD-10 codes sitting in ModMed, the entire logic of patient marketing changes. You're no longer guessing at what a patient might care about. You know what they've been diagnosed with. You can build campaigns around that.
Here's what that looks like in practice:
None of this requires the marketing team to manually tag patients or maintain spreadsheets. The diagnosis code in ModMed does the work. The CRM reads it and acts on it automatically.
Dewy is the only CRM with a native, direct integration into ModMed that surfaces ICD-10 diagnosis codes and makes them actionable inside the platform. No connectors, no middleware, no data gaps.
When a patient encounter is logged in ModMed with a diagnosis code attached, that data flows into Dewy in real time. The practice team can then:
The CPT side of this equation is equally powerful. If you want to understand how procedure codes create automatic follow-up opportunities, this breakdown of CPT-driven campaigns covers the mechanics in detail.
Dewy also handles the campaign creation itself. The AI Campaign Builder lets you describe a goal in plain English, "reactivate rosacea patients who haven't booked an IPL consultation," and it generates the full email and SMS sequence, subject lines, content, and send logic automatically. No copywriter required.
Practices using Dewy see a 42% average increase in conversion rate and a 30% or higher cold lead reactivation rate. Those numbers are driven in large part by the targeting precision that EMR data makes possible. When a patient receives a message that connects directly to their diagnosed condition, it doesn't feel like marketing. It feels like care.
That relevance is what separates high-converting campaigns from noise. And it's only achievable when the CRM actually has access to the clinical record.
For practices that want to go deeper on winning back patients who've already been in the door, this post on using ModMed data for lapsed patient reactivation shows how diagnosis and procedure history combine to drive return visits.
Dewy is a done-for-you platform. When a dermatology practice comes on board, Dewy's team handles the ModMed integration, builds the ICD-10 triggered automations, configures the campaign sequences, and makes sure everything is running before the practice ever logs in. There's no technical lift on the practice side.
The native integration is also more secure than the connector-based alternatives. When patient data moves through a third-party tool, that's a surface area for exposure. Dewy's direct connection to ModMed keeps data where it belongs.
If your practice is on ModMed and running email campaigns that don't reflect what your patients have actually been diagnosed with, you're leaving a significant amount of conversion potential on the table. The data is there. It just needs a CRM that can read it.
