1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:05,266
Your schedule can be full, while important business questions remain unanswered.

2
00:00:05,266 --> 00:00:09,562
Which claims need attention? Which patients are ready for their next visit?

3
00:00:09,562 --> 00:00:12,605
And what could change if you leave an insurance network?

4
00:00:12,605 --> 00:00:17,133
Synthesis Benefits brings those questions into one connected workspace.

5
00:00:17,133 --> 00:00:21,208
It is a strategic business partner for the work around patient care.

6
00:00:21,208 --> 00:00:23,082
Let’s see how that works.

7
00:00:24,620 --> 00:00:29,613
This tour follows the work of a dental practice, from preparing the day to planning a

8
00:00:29,613 --> 00:00:35,128
network transition. Along the way, we’ll look at scheduling, patient follow-up, and the

9
00:00:35,128 --> 00:00:41,559
financial picture. Everything you see uses fictional patients and sample numbers.

10
00:00:41,559 --> 00:00:46,296
Messages are simulated, and no live practice system is connected.

11
00:00:46,296 --> 00:00:50,644
The demo shows the workflow, rather than promising a financial result.

12
00:00:52,151 --> 00:00:57,712
We begin at the dashboard of Harborview Dental, a fictional practice with four dentists.

13
00:00:57,712 --> 00:01:03,366
Three guided paths help the team prepare the day, follow up on care, and review an insurance

14
00:01:03,366 --> 00:01:08,173
decision. Each patient example connects to the records behind it.

15
00:01:08,173 --> 00:01:12,341
Start with the question in front of you, then open the relevant case to see what needs

16
00:01:12,341 --> 00:01:13,528
attention.

17
00:01:15,095 --> 00:01:18,020
For the morning huddle, that question is simple:

18
00:01:18,020 --> 00:01:20,911
what needs to happen before patients arrive?

19
00:01:20,911 --> 00:01:25,961
Here, the team reviews appointments, planned procedures, insurance issues, and openings

20
00:01:25,961 --> 00:01:30,872
in the schedule. That gives everyone a shared starting point for the day.

21
00:01:30,872 --> 00:01:35,516
During a pilot, you could measure how long preparation takes, and how many issues the

22
00:01:35,516 --> 00:01:37,740
team catches before check-in.

23
00:01:39,387 --> 00:01:42,789
Next, look at the schedule by treatment room and provider.

24
00:01:42,789 --> 00:01:46,934
Select a dentist to see their week, then return to the daily chair view for the whole

25
00:01:46,934 --> 00:01:53,389
practice. Each appointment brings the procedure, visit length, and coverage status together.

26
00:01:53,389 --> 00:01:58,805
The team can see where time is available and what preparation each visit requires.

27
00:02:00,422 --> 00:02:05,054
When there is an opening, the schedule intelligence panel helps the team review gaps

28
00:02:05,054 --> 00:02:10,812
and possible next steps. Staff confirm that the proposed visit is clinically appropriate,

29
00:02:10,812 --> 00:02:15,097
that the patient is available, and that the appointment details are right.

30
00:02:15,097 --> 00:02:19,718
The useful outcome is a completed appointment and well-used chair time.

31
00:02:19,718 --> 00:02:22,184
Suggestions are just the starting point.

32
00:02:23,675 --> 00:02:28,366
Before the visit, the risk inbox helps surface unfinished preparation.

33
00:02:28,366 --> 00:02:33,195
A flag might point to unverified coverage or missing insurance information.

34
00:02:33,195 --> 00:02:38,304
Open the issue, check the source, and resolve it when the underlying work is complete.

35
00:02:38,304 --> 00:02:41,148
A procedure fee tells you the recorded charge.

36
00:02:41,148 --> 00:02:44,425
It does not tell you what the insurance carrier will pay.

37
00:02:46,073 --> 00:02:52,366
Now bring the patient’s story together. Open a patient record to review insurance, appointments,

38
00:02:52,366 --> 00:02:57,613
and the available history in one place. This gives the next person handling the case

39
00:02:57,613 --> 00:03:01,305
more context, with fewer details to reconstruct.

40
00:03:01,305 --> 00:03:05,960
For a live practice, the history available here depends on the records and connections

41
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:07,763
confirmed during setup.

42
00:03:09,284 --> 00:03:14,483
Here is Avery Bennett’s crown visit. For this out-of-network visit, the estimate separates

43
00:03:14,483 --> 00:03:19,128
the office fee, the insurer’s estimated payment, and the patient’s share.

44
00:03:19,128 --> 00:03:24,028
There is no contractual write-off. Check the source behind the allowed amount, and review

45
00:03:24,028 --> 00:03:27,302
any missing information before quoting a cost.

46
00:03:27,302 --> 00:03:31,205
The goal is a calculation the front desk can clearly explain.

47
00:03:32,807 --> 00:03:36,058
That same context makes follow-up more useful.

48
00:03:36,058 --> 00:03:40,632
Benefit Opportunities identifies patients whose recorded benefits are nearing the end

49
00:03:40,632 --> 00:03:46,252
of the plan year. Open a call script for a starting point, then review it before contacting

50
00:03:46,252 --> 00:03:52,707
the patient about recommended care. Track the conversation and whether a visit is scheduled.

51
00:03:52,707 --> 00:03:56,817
Available benefits alone are never a reason for treatment.

52
00:03:58,593 --> 00:04:03,156
Treatment Plans takes the next step: keeping agreed care moving.

53
00:04:03,156 --> 00:04:07,591
The follow-up queue distinguishes accepted but unscheduled treatment from cases where

54
00:04:07,591 --> 00:04:13,256
the patient is still deciding. Review how long each case has waited, then choose an appropriate

55
00:04:13,256 --> 00:04:19,689
next conversation. Acceptance, scheduling, and completed care are separate outcomes,

56
00:04:19,689 --> 00:04:22,428
and a pilot should measure them separately.

57
00:04:24,134 --> 00:04:30,682
Now turn to billing. Claims and accounts receivable organize outstanding claims by age.

58
00:04:30,682 --> 00:04:35,558
Start with the queue, then open the individual record and its status.

59
00:04:35,558 --> 00:04:41,177
An older claim may deserve attention, but age alone does not explain why it is unpaid.

60
00:04:41,177 --> 00:04:45,880
The billing team checks the carrier’s response and supporting documents before deciding

61
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:47,490
what to do next.

62
00:04:49,155 --> 00:04:52,395
For a denied claim, open an appeal draft.

63
00:04:52,395 --> 00:04:57,143
The denial and a starting letter sit together, so staff can review the facts and add

64
00:04:57,143 --> 00:05:01,648
the supporting material. Nothing is automatically submitted here.

65
00:05:01,648 --> 00:05:06,606
The draft helps prepare the work; the outcome to track is whether the claim is resolved

66
00:05:06,606 --> 00:05:08,678
and a payment is recorded.

67
00:05:10,325 --> 00:05:14,065
Some visits also need attention before a claim exists.

68
00:05:14,065 --> 00:05:19,486
Prior authorization tracking shows requests that have not started, along with submitted,

69
00:05:19,486 --> 00:05:25,756
approved, denied, and expired requests. Review the dates as well as the status.

70
00:05:25,756 --> 00:05:30,342
An earlier approval may need another check, and the team still confirms the carrier’s

71
00:05:30,342 --> 00:05:34,498
requirements and the patient’s eligibility for the actual visit.

72
00:05:36,009 --> 00:05:40,433
For the owner, the next question is what these activities mean for the business.

73
00:05:40,433 --> 00:05:46,029
The financial view keeps submitted claim charges, insurance payments, denied charges,

74
00:05:46,029 --> 00:05:51,671
and recorded overhead separate. A payment received this month may relate to an earlier

75
00:05:51,671 --> 00:05:56,733
claim. And a reliable profit calculation needs complete expenses.

76
00:05:56,733 --> 00:06:00,259
That gives you a clearer basis for reviewing the business.

77
00:06:01,879 --> 00:06:05,525
To understand the numbers, look at the fees behind them.

78
00:06:05,525 --> 00:06:09,959
The fee schedule brings procedure pricing and available fee information together for

79
00:06:09,959 --> 00:06:15,056
review. Estimates and carrier comparisons depend on those inputs.

80
00:06:15,056 --> 00:06:20,374
Before changing fees or network participation, confirm which schedule applies, which

81
00:06:20,374 --> 00:06:24,321
provider it covers, and when the contract terms take effect.

82
00:06:25,968 --> 00:06:31,960
Carrier Comparison then lets you examine reimbursement differences, procedure by procedure.

83
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:36,010
Use it to identify where a closer review could be worthwhile.

84
00:06:36,010 --> 00:06:41,258
These are sample historical comparisons, rather than promises of future payment.

85
00:06:41,258 --> 00:06:47,145
A network decision also depends on patient mix, collection costs, available capacity,

86
00:06:47,145 --> 00:06:50,167
and how patients may respond to the change.

87
00:06:51,872 --> 00:06:55,123
Analytics widens the view across the practice.

88
00:06:55,123 --> 00:06:59,814
Choose a reporting month and compare providers or carriers using the same underlying

89
00:06:59,814 --> 00:07:05,177
records. Production follows the date of service, while insurance payments follow the

90
00:07:05,177 --> 00:07:09,578
payment date. Patient collections remain a separate input.

91
00:07:09,578 --> 00:07:14,720
Explore gum health, new patients, and year-over-year activity, then check the source

92
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,058
records behind the pattern.

93
00:07:18,358 --> 00:07:23,385
Those connections become especially important when you are considering a network exit.

94
00:07:23,385 --> 00:07:28,029
It is both a business decision and a patient communication project.

95
00:07:28,029 --> 00:07:30,919
Insurance Strategy brings the two together.

96
00:07:30,919 --> 00:07:33,729
Start with the patients and visits affected.

97
00:07:33,729 --> 00:07:38,825
Then review the financial assumptions, test what happens if fewer patients stay, and

98
00:07:38,825 --> 00:07:40,944
organize the transition work.

99
00:07:42,593 --> 00:07:47,678
Choose Delta Dental, or another carrier, to review the covered patients and their upcoming

100
00:07:47,678 --> 00:07:53,599
visits. These counts show exposure; they do not predict patient losses.

101
00:07:53,599 --> 00:07:58,255
Open the supporting evidence to review historical allowed amounts and insurance payments

102
00:07:58,255 --> 00:08:03,549
by procedure. An explanation of benefits may show what a patient owes.

103
00:08:03,549 --> 00:08:06,791
It does not prove that the practice collected that amount.

104
00:08:08,346 --> 00:08:11,736
The decision model brings those missing pieces into view.

105
00:08:11,736 --> 00:08:17,692
It needs comparable visits, actual insurer and patient collections, contract evidence,

106
00:08:17,692 --> 00:08:21,930
costs, and assumptions about how many patients will stay.

107
00:08:21,930 --> 00:08:25,912
Load the clearly labeled fictional example to see the calculation.

108
00:08:25,912 --> 00:08:31,671
Compare monthly contribution and the first-year change, including transition costs.

109
00:08:31,671 --> 00:08:36,605
Test the downside, too. These results illustrate your assumptions;

110
00:08:36,605 --> 00:08:38,514
they are not forecasts.

111
00:08:40,069 --> 00:08:44,400
Once the practice has a plan, review the exit for each dentist.

112
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:49,485
Confirm the effective date, carrier acknowledgment, and supporting evidence.

113
00:08:49,485 --> 00:08:54,790
Then open an affected visit to compare the estimate and prepare the conversation.

114
00:08:54,790 --> 00:08:59,121
The scenario changes only the selected carrier’s network status.

115
00:08:59,121 --> 00:09:04,160
Give the follow-up an owner, a due date, and a specific next action.

116
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,867
Staff review the message before using it.

117
00:09:08,429 --> 00:09:13,015
The broader platform also supports the patient relationship after that decision.

118
00:09:13,015 --> 00:09:17,775
Membership organizes in-house plans, members, and renewal status.

119
00:09:17,775 --> 00:09:22,756
It can help structure a conversation with uninsured patients or those paying directly.

120
00:09:22,756 --> 00:09:28,607
The prices shown are examples. Each practice defines its own included services, pricing,

121
00:09:28,607 --> 00:09:32,354
and terms, based on its costs and patient needs.

122
00:09:33,955 --> 00:09:38,739
For ongoing care, the recall queue gives the team a place to begin.

123
00:09:38,739 --> 00:09:42,686
Fictional patients are grouped by how recently they have returned.

124
00:09:42,686 --> 00:09:48,189
Open a group to review the last cleaning, recorded benefits, and contact status.

125
00:09:48,189 --> 00:09:53,553
Then track appropriate patients reached, visits scheduled, and care completed.

126
00:09:53,553 --> 00:09:57,259
Those measures tell you more than a total of unused benefits.

127
00:09:58,794 --> 00:10:01,824
Reminders and Messaging support that follow-through.

128
00:10:01,824 --> 00:10:06,793
Set the timing and channels, then review templates for appointment reminders, recall,

129
00:10:06,793 --> 00:10:11,553
and treatment follow-up. Staff check the wording and permissions before enabling patient

130
00:10:11,553 --> 00:10:15,361
outreach. Messages in this demo are simulated.

131
00:10:15,361 --> 00:10:20,005
In a pilot, compare confirmation and attendance rates with your starting baseline to

132
00:10:20,005 --> 00:10:22,101
see whether the process helps.

133
00:10:23,634 --> 00:10:28,835
Online Booking gives patients a way to request a visit, with an office queue for review.

134
00:10:28,835 --> 00:10:31,854
A request is not yet a confirmed appointment.

135
00:10:31,854 --> 00:10:36,556
Staff link the patient and confirm the details before creating the visit.

136
00:10:36,556 --> 00:10:41,061
Keeping those steps visible helps the team respond to patient interest while protecting

137
00:10:41,061 --> 00:10:43,205
the accuracy of the schedule.

138
00:10:44,912 --> 00:10:50,531
Before the appointment, Intake Forms organizes registration, medical history, and consent

139
00:10:50,531 --> 00:10:53,851
templates, together with submission status.

140
00:10:53,851 --> 00:10:58,414
The patient portal offers another way to collect and access information.

141
00:10:58,414 --> 00:11:03,511
As with the rest of the platform, a live rollout includes confirming access, privacy

142
00:11:03,511 --> 00:11:07,040
controls, and the connections your practice will use.

143
00:11:08,648 --> 00:11:13,454
After the visit, Reputation brings feedback and review activity together.

144
00:11:13,454 --> 00:11:17,587
Give every patient the same opportunity to leave an honest review.

145
00:11:17,587 --> 00:11:22,858
Then use the responses to identify service issues and improve the experience.

146
00:11:22,858 --> 00:11:26,260
The sample ratings shown here demonstrate the workflow;

147
00:11:26,260 --> 00:11:29,182
they are not evidence of a customer outcome.

148
00:11:30,784 --> 00:11:35,161
Behind these patient workflows are the administrative details that keep the practice

149
00:11:35,161 --> 00:11:40,188
running. Credentialing records provider participation by carrier.

150
00:11:40,188 --> 00:11:44,925
Use the Staff Licenses page to track certifications and renewal dates.

151
00:11:44,925 --> 00:11:50,068
Keeping those records current helps the team investigate missing or expired information

152
00:11:50,068 --> 00:11:53,200
before relying on it elsewhere in the platform.

153
00:11:54,801 --> 00:12:00,096
Intelligence supports the work you have just seen through summaries, risk flags, outreach

154
00:12:00,096 --> 00:12:05,181
scripts, and appeal drafts. Calculations supply the numbers.

155
00:12:05,181 --> 00:12:09,267
Optional language models help explain them or prepare wording.

156
00:12:09,267 --> 00:12:13,203
Paid artificial intelligence drafting is disabled in this demo.

157
00:12:13,203 --> 00:12:18,335
Staff review the output and decide what happens next, keeping usage tied to a useful

158
00:12:18,335 --> 00:12:19,490
task.

159
00:12:21,138 --> 00:12:26,711
Finally, Settings brings practice configuration and provider network status together.

160
00:12:26,711 --> 00:12:31,541
Insurance Changes highlights differences between practice-system updates, so staff can

161
00:12:31,541 --> 00:12:37,102
review what changed. Before connecting a live practice, confirm the source records, staff

162
00:12:37,102 --> 00:12:42,884
access, and supported integrations. Agree on who owns each step and how the team will

163
00:12:42,884 --> 00:12:44,526
check that it works.

164
00:12:46,132 --> 00:12:49,836
The next test is to put the product in the team’s hands.

165
00:12:49,836 --> 00:12:55,594
The guided practice exercise asks a dentist to prepare a visit, explain an estimate,

166
00:12:55,594 --> 00:12:59,437
follow up on treatment, and examine an insurance decision.

167
00:12:59,437 --> 00:13:04,244
