6 providers · 2 locations · Dentrix

How a growing group practice gained visibility into payer performance, slashed denials, and renegotiated contracts for $18K in annual savings.

The Challenge

Scaling without visibility

Summit Dental Group had recently expanded to a second location and added two new providers. Growth was the goal, but revenue cycle performance wasn't keeping up.

Their denial rate sat at 22%, but the real problem was deeper: they had no visibility into why claims were being denied or which payers were underperforming. When their experienced insurance coordinator left, the knowledge gap became critical. Training a replacement was taking weeks, and denials spiked even higher during the transition.

The billing director knew they were leaving money on the table with certain payers, but without data to back it up, they had no leverage to renegotiate contracts.

The Solution

Indent Professional across both locations

Summit deployed Indent Professional across both locations, connected to Dentrix, with a focus on denial prevention, payer analytics, and staff enablement.

Denial Command Center

AI-powered categorization of every denial by root cause, payer, procedure, and provider. Patterns surfaced automatically instead of buried in spreadsheets.

AI Appeal Letters

One-click appeal generation with payer-specific language, clinical narratives, and supporting documentation pulled automatically.

Payer Performance Analytics

Real-time dashboards showing reimbursement rates, denial rates, and days-to-pay by payer. Identified 3 underperforming contracts immediately.

Guided Workflows

Step-by-step claim and verification workflows that let a new insurance coordinator get up to speed in days, not weeks.
