Product Features

Is Zentist or Remit AI a clearinghouse?

No, neither Zentist nor Remit AI functions as a clearinghouse. Instead, we integrate with various clearinghouses to ensure seamless claim processing and management.

Remit AI is Zentist’s dental revenue cycle management software designed to consolidate and standardize Explanation of Benefits (EOB) and Electronic Remittance Advice (ERA) data. Remit AI provides access to this data, payer logins, reports, and actionable intelligence through a single dashboard, enhancing your RCM processes.

Which payers does Remit AI support?

Remit AI provides access to over 1800+ EOB/ERA payers. You can view the complete list of supported payers here.

Which clearinghouses does Remit AI work with?

Remit AI integrates with multiple clearinghouses, including DentalXChange, Zelis, ECHO, Change Healthcare, and DD. This allows for seamless claim processing and management across various platforms.

Does Remit AI provide claim status updates, such as No Claim On File (NCOF)?

While Remit AI itself does not specifically display claim statuses like No Claim On File (NCOF), its built-in module, Cavi AR, does offer enhanced capabilities in this area. Cavi AR provides a unified dashboard for managing outstanding claims and automatically matches EOBs/ERAs with open claims. It also identifies No Claim On File (NCOF) statuses by flagging claims that lack payment files or EOBs, helping you quickly determine if a claim was not submitted for the date of service (DOS).

Can Remit AI detect if a claim hasn't been submitted to the payer?

Remit AI is not integrated with your Practice Management System (PMS), so it cannot track whether a claim has been submitted to the payer. We recommend ensuring that claims are properly submitted through your PMS for accurate processing.

Does Remit AI integrate with my dental practice management software?

Remit AI operates independently of your practice management software (PMS). Integration with your current PMS is not required, and you do not need to make any changes or updates to your existing software to use Remit AI.

Do we need to change our insurance claim submission process if we start using Remit AI?

You will continue submitting insurance claims as usual through your practice management software. Implementing Remit AI does not alter your existing claim submission procedures.

Can Cavi AR handle different types of claims and payment scenarios?

Yes, Cavi AR categorizes and prioritizes claims based on AR days, expected/submitted amounts, and last updated dates, addressing various payment scenarios and improving the overall claims management process.

What benefits does Remit AI provide for DSOs?

Remit AI offers self-service RCM analytics, automatic parsing of EOB and ERA data, and automatic reconciliation of remittance data with bank transactions. We also help DSOs go paperless by enrolling in ERAs and EFTs, reducing manual work.

What kind of analytics and reporting does Remit AI provide?

Remit AI offers customizable KPI reports and advanced analytics to view aging claims and manage accounts receivable comprehensively. We also provide more than 5 reports by default, available in the analytics section.

What security measures are in place to protect our data with Remit AI and Cavi AR?

Remit AI and Cavi AR use industry-standard security measures to ensure the protection and confidentiality of your data. This includes secure data access, encryption, and compliance with HIPAA regulations. We are committed to maintaining the highest standards of data security and privacy.

Integration

Does Zentist offer EFT enrollment? Will you sign me up to receive direct deposits? If so, is there a fee associated with this, or is it free?

Zentist provides EFT enrollments as part of its services when you purchase the Remit AI product. However, EFT enrollment is not available with ERA enrollments. If a payer requires EFT enrollment before ERA, the office must complete EFT enrollment before Zentist handles the ERA component.

How many payers can Zentist enroll in ERA and EFT?

You can enroll up to 30 payers max.

Do I need to convert or change my dental practice management software or clearinghouse to use Remit AI?

You do not need to convert or change your current dental practice management software or clearinghouse to use Remit AI.

Does our IT department or MSP vendor need to be involved in implementing Remit AI?

Implementing Remit AI does not require assistance from your IT department or MSP vendor. Our team will handle the setup and onboarding, ensuring a smooth process without additional support from your internal resources.

Onboarding / Implementation / Training

Can we pilot Remit AI in one dental practice before proceeding with an organization-wide deployment

Currently, we do not offer single-location pilots. We require a minimum of 5 locations for onboarding and deployment.

Can I add or remove users in Remit AI directly, or should I contact Zentist for staff changes?

No, you will need to contact Zentist to add or remove users. User management is not available directly through the Remit AI dashboard.

Do I need to pay any extra fees for EFTs?

No extra fees are associated with EFTs when you use Remit AI. EFT enrollment is included in our service, and when we enroll in EFTs, we ensure we enroll via a free method.

In situations where no such free-of-fee methods are available or known, we will communicate this to you so you can decide if you are ready to pay. An example is MetLife, which requires Epayments to be eligible for free EFTs. When not eligible, EFT enrollment is possible only via Zelis, which charges for each EFT deposit.

Zentist can also help when you have already enrolled in EFTs but need its support to re-enroll in the free-of-fee method.

Does Zentist offer ERA and EFT enrollment when I buy Remit AI?

Yes! When you purchase Remit AI, Zentist offers enrollment services for ERA (Electronic Remittance Advice) and EFT (Electronic Funds Transfer). This service is part of our comprehensive solution to streamline your DSO’s revenue cycle management.

How does Remit AI reconcile insurance claim payments with bank deposits, and what is involved in setting up bank access?

To enable Remit AI to automatically reconcile insurance claim payments with bank deposits, you must provide Zentist with read-only bank access. Your dedicated Account Manager (AM) will provide the necessary user credentials and instructions for granting this access. Once read-only bank access is established, Remit AI will securely retrieve your bank transaction data on a daily basis, allowing for seamless and automated payment reconciliation.

If providing read-only bank access is not feasible, you can email bank reports to our designated bank reconciliation email address. These reports should be in Excel or CSV format, enabling Remit AI to perform the reconciliation manually. This flexibility ensures that Remit AI can still efficiently reconcile your payments, even without direct bank access.

How long does the customer onboarding, training, and implementation process take for Remit AI?

The training and implementation process for Remit AI typically takes 2-4 weeks to complete. Our team works closely with you during this period to ensure a smooth transition and effective use of the software.

We are currently changing our TINs. Should we wait until that process is completed before implementing Remit AI?

While you are undergoing a TIN change, we recommend onboarding your legacy TIN so you have legacy data available, too. Your dedicated AM will guide you through the details.

What information is required to go live with Remit AI?

To initiate the Remit AI software implementation and ERA/EFT enrollment, we will need the following information from you, which typically takes 1-2 hours to collect:

  • Tax Identification Numbers (TINs)
  • National Provider Identifiers (NPIs) and Addresses
  • Insurance Logins
  • Insurance Collection Report
  • W9 and Bank Letter for each TIN

Providing this information will help ensure a smooth and efficient setup process.

NOTE: When your Dashboard is ready to go live, you will be requested to provide usernames and emails to create user access.

What information is required to get started with Remit AI?

Your dedicated Account Manager will guide you through the setup process and provide detailed instructions. To ensure a smooth start, you will need to gather some key information, including office names and addresses, insurance portal logins, W9 forms, and bank letters. Your Account Manager will work closely with you to collect these details and facilitate the necessary ERA/EFT enrollment.
