## The Problem

Credentialing a new General Dentistry provider into 15 payers is a 120-day slog — and each delayed day means the provider bills under someone else's NPI or not at all.

## What We Build in Open Dental

AI assembles the CAQH profile, submits payer applications, tracks each status, and escalates stalls — time-to-enrolled drops from 120 days to 60. Purpose-built for teams running Open Dental — uses the native API or agent integration so nothing leaves the system of record.

## Open Dental Integration Approach

1. **Audit your Open Dental configuration.** We map the specific Open Dental objects, custom fields, and workflows the automation needs to touch for your general dentistry practice.
2. **Build on the Open Dental API or agent.** Integration happens inside Open Dental — no data leaves the system, no parallel tool for your team to learn, no license changes.
3. **Human-in-the-loop handoff.** Every automation routes exceptions back to a human in Open Dental with full context — AI handles the 80%, your team owns the judgment calls.
