AI agent for dentists
Practice Production and Collections Review Agent
The practice sees why production or collections miss goal and the actions taken close the gap.
What it does
Production and collections can slip for weeks before anyone looks at why. Every week the agent reads production, collections and the schedule, compares them with the goals and last month, and breaks the gap into causes: cancellations and open chair time, unbilled treatment, slow insurance claims, patient balances and treatment not scheduled. It ranks the causes by dollar impact and proposes actions, for example billing the 12 unbilled visits or chasing the 40 oldest claims. Next week it checks whether the numbers moved and which actions were done. The dentist approves any action that affects patients or payers. Edge case: a low week caused by a holiday is not treated as a problem.
How it works
Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.
