Dental insurance verification, done before the patient arrives

InsureIQ, part of DentalIQ™, checks each scheduled patient's dental eligibility and benefits electronically: active coverage, plan dates, deductible and annual maximum remaining, and coverage by category. Anything the payer didn't answer goes on a call sheet, one call per carrier, so your team knows exactly what to ask.

Why it matters

The 2024 CAQH Index estimates that eligibility and benefit verification cost the dental industry about $2.1 billion in 2023, about 30% of all dental administrative spending. It also estimates that an office saves about 8 minutes on each check it moves from phone or portal to fully electronic.

How it works

  1. 1The patient's details. Payer, member ID and date of birth. If anything is missing, the patient shows "Add details" instead of a failed check.
  2. 2The electronic check. InsureIQ runs a standard electronic eligibility check through Stedi, a healthcare clearinghouse.
  3. 3DentalIQ's own rules read the answer. Coverage by category, deductible and maximum remaining, and frequency limits. Where the payer was silent, the result says "Verify with payer" or "No prior on file". It never guesses.
  4. 4The call sheet. Everything still open, grouped into one call per carrier. A record the payer couldn't match is held back as "Check record" until someone fixes it.

What it doesn't do

  • It doesn't log into payer portals or call payers for you.
  • It doesn't write back into your practice software: you copy the results across.
  • An eligibility answer isn't a guarantee of payment.
  • Real payer checks switch on for each practice when it goes live on DentalIQ.

Where the results go

Results feed the morning briefing, so the team sees who's ready and who isn't, and AcceptIQ, whose treatment estimates are built from the patient's newest check.

Frequently asked questions

Does it work with my practice software?

It works alongside Open Dental, Dentrix and Eaglesoft. You import your patient list from a CSV export, and there's no live sync.

Which payers can it check?

Payers that support electronic eligibility through the clearinghouse. Payer search only shows payers that do.

What if the payer doesn't return frequencies or waiting periods?

That item goes on the call sheet, marked for the call, instead of being guessed.

Is patient data protected?

Eligibility checks go through Stedi under a business associate agreement. The Trust page lists what is and isn't covered yet.

How is this different from verification services that use portal bots?

DentalIQ uses the standard electronic transaction and is honest about the gaps, instead of filling them with guesses.
