Artificial intelligence (AI) is on the rise across nearly every industry. That includes dentistry, and it’s driving considerable transformations on the administrative side of running a practice. DCS is all in on using AI to boost your profitability.
Our goal at Dental Claim Support (DCS) isn’t to use AI to replace your team but to use AI to increase your revenue by increasing your team’s efficiency. AI can do plenty of things, but it can’t do everything, and with our years of using AI to support our client-partners, we know that AI needs the power of people behind it.
But how exactly does DCS use AI to boost your profits? By saving your team time, prompting your patients for payments, and fast-tracking your billing cycle.
Specifically, auto-posting for insurance payments; patient collections powered by our strategic partner, Quanta; and insurance verification—and also a team of dental billing experts with AI sidekicks, so you’ll see fewer errors, smoother workflows, and consistent cash flow.
Key takeaways on how DCS uses AI to boost your profitability
- DCS combines AI technology with expert oversight to streamline dental billing, reduce errors, and keep cash flow predictable.
- Automation powers efficiency in insurance payment posting, patient collections, and insurance verification—freeing staff for patient care.
- AI enhances billing processes, but people remain essential, and DCS combines the two for stronger financial results in dental practices.
1. Does DCS use auto-posting for dental insurance payments?
Auto-posting is one of the most impactful ways AI is making dental billing more efficient. Instead of your team manually typing payment data from insurance carriers into your practice management system, AI automates the process by recognizing, matching, and accurately posting payments for them.
Co-founder of DCS, Josh Smith, explains:
“Auto-posting is when insurance payments get applied into your practice management software automatically from an ERA, or electronic remittance advice. It cuts out the step of someone manually typing it in.”
Auto-posting eliminates hours of manual data entry each week and ensures payments are applied faster. For dental practices, that means fewer paperwork backlogs and more predictable cash flow.
But AI will fumble or stumble when it doesn’t recognize something or can’t make a match—that means an insurance billing expert must oversee auto-posting to ensure everything is done right.
DCS has added auto-posting to its insurance billing services, which includes expert handling of claim submissions, follow-ups and appeals, and of course, payment posting.
What benefits will you see after outsourcing insurance billing?

Our team of Account Managers and Account Specialists will monitor the rest of the billing process, including managing exceptions and making sure everything lines up correctly in your PMS. The result? Smoother billing operations, a more relaxed team, accurate and current business reporting, and more consistent cash flow.
2. Does DCS use AI or automation for dental patient collections?
Our strategic partner, Quanta, offers AI-powered software that automates your patient collections process. Here’s what Quanta automates to make patient collections hands-free for your team and create convenience for your patients:
- Payment reminders. Payment links are sent via text or email as soon as the balance is known and at intervals so your patients can pay easily from anywhere, using any device, at any time.
- Financing options. Flexible payment plans with interest-free installments for patients who need more time to pay their balance.
- Memberships. Subscriptions with periodic payments for treatments or monthly memberships for regular patients.
Imagine how much time your team would have to spend with patients or higher-value tasks if they weren’t spending hours each week calling patients or sending statements.
What benefits will you see after automating dental patient collections?
Quanta patient collections software automatically delivers clear, consistent communication that encourages patients to pay on time. Plus, patients will appreciate the convenience of text reminders and direct payment links while your practice benefits from steady cash flow and reduced A/R because there’s less revenue trapped in limbo.
It turns out less busy work for your team = more money for the practice. Like the saying goes, “Work smarter not harder.”
3. Does DCS use AI or automation for dental insurance verification?
Insurance verification is one of the most time-consuming tasks for dental teams, and there are many opportunities for the small errors that create big problems. Mistakes at this early stage create delays throughout the entire billing process.
DCS Insurance Verification uses automation for routine tasks like the write-back, which instantly and accurately updates patient data to further reduce your team’s manual data entry. When you partner with us, your patient’s insurance details will sync directly to your PMS with no paperwork for you to manage.
