For dental practices

Ask the insurer only what tomorrow's patients need.

A coverage check sheet built from your schedule. For each patient it shows what the electronic check already answered, and only the questions that are still open for the procedures they are booked for.

Why coverage checks take so long

The electronic check leaves gaps

The automatic insurance check confirms the plan and percentages. It usually does not say whether there is a waiting period or a missing-tooth clause, so someone still calls.

The software cannot hold the answers

Details such as downgrades and age limits have nowhere to go in the practice software, so they end up on paper or in someone's head.

The same question, every patient

Staff work through a long form for every patient, even when most answers do not matter for what that patient is booked for.

How it works

  1. Tomorrow's schedule comes in

    With each patient's insurance and booked procedures, and the electronic check already run.

  2. Only the open questions

    For a crown, the sheet asks about the replacement rule and build-ups. For a cleaning, about frequency. Answered items are already filled in.

  3. One call covers many patients

    Answers are saved by employer plan, so the next patient on the same plan needs no call at all.

What you get

  • Shorter calls, because staff ask only what matters
  • Estimates that show what they are based on
  • Answers reused for every patient on the same employer plan
  • Fewer surprise bills after treatment

A good fit if

  • Staff spend hours a week on coverage checks
  • Patients are sometimes surprised by what insurance did not pay
  • You use Open Dental, or are fine working from a daily schedule export

Probably not for you if

  • You already pay for a verification service that fills in full breakdowns
  • Most of your patients pay out of pocket

Questions

What goes on a dental insurance breakdown form?

A record of what a patient's plan covers: deductible, yearly maximum, percentages, how often procedures are covered, waiting periods and clauses such as missing-tooth or replacement rules.

Does it replace calling the insurer?

Not always. It makes the calls shorter and less frequent, because staff ask only the open questions and reuse answers for the same plan.

Is this different from the insurance check in my software?

Yes. That check fetches what the insurer sends electronically. This sheet shows what is still missing for the procedures each patient is booked for.

Which practice software does it work with?

Open Dental directly. With Dentrix and Eaglesoft it works from a daily schedule export, and answers are entered in the sheet.
