§ 01 The day
Front desk

The hours do not go on dentistry.

Nobody opened a practice to spend their week on hold with an insurer. But the insurance side of the front desk is where the time quietly goes, and where the awkward conversations start.

Before the visit
TodaySomeone calls the insurer, waits, writes the coverage on a sticky note, and hopes the plan has not changed since last year.
What we are buildingCoverage, remaining maximum and eligibility pulled up before the patient arrives, on the appointment.
At the chair
TodayThe estimate is a guess, or a number from memory. If it is wrong, you find out at checkout in front of a waiting room.
What we are buildingThe patient portion worked out from the plan, the deductible and what is left of the annual maximum. Said at booking, not at the till.
After treatment
TodayThe claim is retyped into a second system, sent, and forgotten until it comes back short.
What we are buildingThe claim built from what is already on the file, routed through CDAnet, with the response tracked rather than filed.
When it comes back short
TodaySomebody has to work out why, and whether it is worth resubmitting. Usually it is not, so it is written off.
What we are buildingThe reason surfaced against the fee guide and the plan, with resubmission and predetermination handled as part of the flow.
In January
TodayThe fee guide changes and every number in your head is quietly out of date for a few weeks.
What we are buildingProvincial fee guides kept current, so the estimate is right the day the guide changes.

The estimate conversation, on one screen.

This is a small piece of what we are building, working today. Use it at the desk if it helps — it runs in your browser and sends nothing anywhere.

Patient portion — estimate Free · runs in your browser
Total per the fee guide
The plan's ceiling for the benefit year
Claims already paid this benefit year
Co-insurance for this procedure category
Amount not yet met this year
Remaining annual maximum$1,100
Plan is expected to pay$920
Patient pays today$280

Co-insurance applied after the deductible.

An estimate, not a predetermination. Assumes one procedure category, no frequency or waiting-period limits, and no coordination with a second plan. The plan contract is always the authority.
§ 03 Why Canadian
matters
Not adapted

Most dental software was built for another country.

There is a lot of good dental technology available, and much of it was designed for the American market first. The clinical side travels well. The insurance side does not.

A Canadian practice bills against a provincial fee guide, routes claims through CDAnet, works out CDCP eligibility, and handles patient information under federal and provincial privacy law. Those are not settings on an American product. They are the whole job, and they are the part we are building.

We are also not going near imaging or voice. That corner of dental technology is crowded and well funded, and we would have nothing to add. What we know is insurance operations — verification, claims, billing, and the arithmetic of who owes what. It turns out a dental front desk and a broker's desk are doing the same job in different clothes.

§ 04 The boundary
By design
Not by promise

Where we stop, and why we stop there.

Patient health information carries real obligations, and the safest way to handle clinical records is not to hold them at all. So the line is drawn in the architecture rather than in a policy document.

What we work with

  • Plan coverage, annual maximums and remaining balance
  • Claim submission and response through CDAnet
  • Provincial fee guide codes and CDCP eligibility
  • Predeterminations, resubmissions and short-paid claims
  • Patient estimates and the portion actually owed

What we never touch

  • Clinical notes and treatment records
  • Radiographs, scans and imaging
  • Diagnosis, or any clinical recommendation
  • Your practice management system's patient chart

Keeping clinical data out of our systems by design is safer for your practice than a promise that we handle it carefully.

§ 05 Where it is
Honestly

What exists today, and what does not.

We would rather tell you this now than have you discover it after signing something.

5.1

The product is in development

There is no software to sell you today. The calculator above is real and works. The rest is being built, and the waitlist is how we decide what to build first.

5.2

DentaFlow is a working name

We would rather get the product right than the branding, so DentaFlow is what we call it internally while it is being built. If it ships under a different name, the people on the waitlist will hear it first.

5.3

We are not replacing your practice software

Your charting, scheduling and clinical records stay where they are. We are building for the insurance layer that sits alongside them.

5.4

What we already know how to do

We build and run an insurance platform for brokers and underwriters today — decisions, claims, billing, audit trails, and the rules that govern them. The dental product is that experience pointed at a different desk. You can see that work on the InsureFlow record.

§ 06 Waitlist
Two questions

Tell us what your front desk loses the most time to.

We are choosing what to build first, and a practice that tells us the real answer has more influence on that than any market research we could buy. Two questions, and we will come back to you with what we are building and when.
