DentiMax

Hi Lisa,

I certainly appreciate your feedback and the opportunity to help you with the concerns you have voiced. I can understand why you would be frustrated if the below were accurate for the performance of our system and what we represent. Several of these items noted can be resolved by having a short training session or changing a couple settings that made it into your program, without the need for involving programming/development. Our training department would love to reach out and help you with them!

In the meantime, to specifically address the items listed, I first wanted to address the .01 cent rounding issue. That had been brought to our attention previously and resolved in an updated service pack release. Our tech support team will call you to make sure you have the most up to date release at no charge to you.

Also, you are correct, we are actually announcing our very own texting module. Like most software companies do, we have previously worked with a third party service for texting for years. Unlike other companies, the texting we are releasing is our very own texting that we created in house, with complete integration capabilities, since we built it for us. Not all texting products work the same or have all the same features, which is why you will find such a variance in price on the market (ranging up to $200 a month). We do want to offer the best product for the best price to our customers, which will deliver automated messages and integration with virtually no effort on the user end.

1) Cleaning frequencies 2/12 months: I actually did work in dental offices for 12 years, and can verify that there are serveral plans with this frequency. I can also verify that many software solutions do not have the option to indicate this frequency. This is an item on our enhancement list for our next version, and I appreciate your support of adding that feature.
2) Cores: Core build-up’s can certainly get paid out under class III for major services along with crowns. Depending on the insurance plans you are taking and the demographic you are seeing, that may be the case for you more often than not, but I have seen it the other way too (at class II). What’s important is that the system does have the flexibility for you as the user, to alter the default coverage table on the practice level instead of the plan level, so that you are not changing this per insurance plan, but only when it is called for. We can certainly edit that with you in a few minutes with the training department’s help for your plans going forward. We can also set that as the deafult for your older plans as well if the need is still there to do so.
3) We do actually have envelopes or labels in our system that do not require special printers to function. Of course your printer must be able to accept an envelope as something to print on (given the size), but most printers in the last 5 years or so have this capability. We can certainly resolve this with you.
4) Our statements are designed to work just like an EOB does. So when your patient gets a statement from you, and their EOB copy, they can easily follow the two and ensure matching details. We have 3 different options for statements depending on how the office likes to handle billing, and training can run through this with you as well and set the one you like as the default.
5) The payment entry screen is line item accounting, again to follow the flow of an EOB. When you see the patient balance on the ledger, there are several other things you may be seeing, such as the family account versus just the patient account. You have the same options to toggle to in the payment entry screen to make it easy to pay the whole family’s account or just the portion due for one patient. Training can also assist with this item.
6) DentiMax actually will calculate the estimated patient portion for you based on the coverage table on the insurance and the fee schedule associated with that plan. The only reason the total amount should show as the patient portion is if somehow the items are marked as being paid at zero percent on the coverage table of the insurance plan, the items are listed as non-billable to insurance (such as a missed appointment fee), or the claim has been closed already. This is also something the training team can look at in your system and see which item is causing that to be the patient portion and easily resolved.
7) Great minds think alike! For the calendar, you can actually click the month in the top in order to select and jump to a specific month (or year) with an easy drop down menu. You can also change the sreen resolution on your computer if you want to increase the overall size too.

We would really appreciate an opportunity to have a live training session with you to run through these items and anything else on your list!
Thank you kindly.
