    The idea

    A web app for dental billing coordinators that connects to the practice management system, scores every outbound claim for denial risk by payer and CDT code before submission, flags the top risks in a daily queue, and generates a ready-to-send appeal letter the moment a denial comes back. One coordinator can work the full revenue cycle without a billing service.

    Who pays

    Dental Practice Owner / Owner-Dentist, typically Solo practice to small group (1–5 locations, $500K–$3M annual collections). Replaces: manual 14-minute-per-transaction claim verification and unpursued denied claims.

    The pain

    Sourced

    Staff spend up to 14 minutes per transaction on claim verification, and 65% of denied claims are never resubmitted — costing practices up to 20% of revenue. Claim denials rose for 40% of billers in the past year.
