Why Stratus AI Is Leading the Surge in Dental Insurance Verification Companies

Still relying on old-school dental insurance verification forms? It's costing you more than you think.

Between faxing, calling, and hand-filling PDFs, your team is losing hours every week—and missing out on revenue.

But there’s a better way. It’s faster, smarter, and completely automated. Meet Stratus: the tool built to remove the stress and waste from verifying patient benefits.

Why Manual Insurance Forms Are Obsolete

If your staff spends 10–15 minutes verifying each patient’s insurance manually, you’re bleeding time. Multiply that by 20 or more patients per day, and you’re looking at over three hours of staff time wasted daily.

Common issues include:

  • Repetitive data entry
  • Missed coverage limits or codes
  • Tedious back-and-forth with insurance reps
  • Inaccurate billing due to outdated info
  • Unverified treatment plans resulting in delays
  • Angry patients due to surprise bills

Manual forms aren’t just inefficient—they’re risky. Errors in these forms often result in denied claims or rejected pre-authorizations. And when patients don’t know what’s covered, they delay or cancel care.

Embrace the Alternative: Stratus Automated Verification

Stratus eliminates the need for physical forms entirely.

Instead of filling out dozens of fields by hand, your staff simply enters a name—and within seconds, Stratus:

  • Pulls coverage info directly from providers
  • Writes it into Open Dental fields automatically
  • Stores a clean, error-free record
  • Displays benefit breakdowns with no delays
  • Flags issues like expired coverage or policy limits
