FAQ
Where should a dental office start?
Start with one paid high-value claim. If the expected fee, payer payment, and variance show meaningful upside, move to a small EOB batch.
Why focus on paid claims?
Paid claims often look closed, so billing teams move on. That is exactly where PPO underpayments can hide without creating a denial queue.
How do the guides connect to revenue?
Each guide points back to claim math: expected amount, paid amount, variance, confidence, and evidence. Recovery work should start only when those values are defensible.
Want recovery, not another spreadsheet?
Omniscient turns one EOB batch into a short, defensible recovery queue your clinic can approve.
