How insurance goes today, and what changes.
Three moments every front desk knows, and what Valian does to each one.
Today
Your front desk’s day, on hold.
Dial the carrier, sit through the menu, and learn the hold music by heart. If the line is busy, that patient's coverage is a tomorrow problem.
With Valian
Instantly see full coverage.
Run the check and 1,100+ payers answer in seconds. That is $2.50 a check, and the hold music can play for someone else.
Today
Same patient. Same call. Again.
The note is under a keyboard somewhere, and it never had a date on it. So you call the same carrier about the same patient for the same answer.
With Valian
Coverage in one click.
Every check is saved on the patient's page, dated, next to the card images, so it is right there next time.
Today
The patient finds out at checkout.
They hear the number for the first time, still numb, wallet out. The bill lands on your desk. Checkout is where it blows up.
With Valian
Know what is owed before patients arrive. Guaranteed.
Pick the procedure codes and the estimated patient portion is right there. You quote it before treatment, and checkout is just checkout.
What comes back on every check
New patient, or something changed? Type the member ID and date of birth and run it on the spot.
What medical offices told us.
Verbatim from calls with medical offices. Names withheld.
We call the insurance, or I go on their website and do it. Yeah, we manually do it.
We have a third party insurance verification team that does it for us. I’m not too sure, maybe like seven, ten minutes.
Our system does it, and the ones that are not set up for electronic, we do ourselves.
This is your screen. Not a picture of one.
The patient is a sample, the screen is real. Type a procedure code, hit Re-verify, open the history. It all works.
Look up any patient and verify their coverage in seconds.

Your checks
Billed as you run them, once a month. Never included in the plan.
// How checks are billed
Your plan and your checks are two separate bills.
Your plan is your monthly software fee. It sets how many checks your office can run every month. Each check is billed separately, once a month: $2.50 when we find the patient’s insurance, $0 when we can’t find it. The more you run in a month, the less each one costs.
Price per check · checks in a month · not to scale
At 120 checks in a month100 × $2.50 + 20 × $2.25 = $295

Six questions to settle before you decide.
Is Valian a dental insurance verification company or software?
Valian is software your own team uses, not an outsourced company with callers phoning carriers for you. Sign in and check any patient in one click, in seconds. The answer saves on the patient with its date, so your front desk has it right away.
What does a check actually return?
Whether the plan is active and in network, the deductible met and remaining, the annual max used and remaining, coverage percent by category, frequency limits, waiting periods, pre-auth flags, and the missing tooth clause. It is saved on the patient with its date, next to the card images.
Which carriers answer instantly?
1,100+ payers, 750+ of them dental. That includes Delta Dental, MetLife, Cigna, Aetna, Guardian, United Concordia, DentaQuest, UnitedHealthcare, Humana, Ameritas, Principal, Sun Life, GEHA, Anthem, Blue Shield, Liberty, and Medi-Cal Dental.
Do we have to change our practice management system?
No. You keep the system you already have, and nothing gets replaced. Every check is saved on the patient's page.
What if we try it and it is not for us?
Cancel from your own dashboard whenever you want, with no contract and no cancellation fee. The month you already paid for runs to its end, you are charged once more for the checks you ran in it, and nothing renews after that.
What does it cost, exactly?
Plans from $39 a month per location, billed yearly, or from $49 month to month. Each plan sets how many checks your office can run a month; checks are billed separately, once a month: $2.50 for the first 100 each month, then $2.25, then $2.00, then $1.75 past 2,500. Fill in every box we ask for and a check we cannot find costs you nothing. Pay for the year in one payment and save 20%, on any plan.
Is patient data handled the HIPAA way?
Yes. The Business Associate Agreement is signed before any patient data moves. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and access is logged. Valian never gives medical advice and never makes clinical decisions.
Eligibility tells you yes. Benefits tell you how much.
Most tools stop at eligibility, which is the easy half. Knowing a plan is active does not tell your front desk what to collect, what to schedule, or what the patient owes. That is the benefits half, and it is the part your team is on hold for.
| Eligibility only | Eligibility and benefits verification | |
|---|---|---|
| The question it answers | Is this plan active today? | What will this plan actually pay for this visit? |
| What you get | Active or inactive, sometimes a plan name | Deductible met and remaining, annual maximum used and remaining, coverage percent by category, frequency limits, waiting periods |
| Can you quote the patient? | No, you still call | Yes, from the plan itself |
| Can you schedule treatment from it? | No | Yes |
| Time it saves | Very little | The whole call |
A full dental eligibility verification returns both halves on one screen, saved on the patient with the date it was run, so the next person who opens the chart sees the same answer without asking again.
Electronic, meaning nobody picks up a phone.
Electronic benefit verification means the question goes to the payer as data and the answer comes back as data, in seconds. No hold music, no carrier portal, no rekeying what someone read out loud. Three things change when it is electronic.
It is the same answer every time
A person reading a portal writes down what they noticed. A returned record carries every field, the same way, on every patient.
It is timestamped and kept
The breakdown saves on the patient with its date, so a question three weeks later has an answer instead of an argument.
It scales past one person
Your whole front desk can run checks at once. There are no seat fees and no queue behind whoever owns the logins.
What a verified schedule changes.
Before the visit
The patient arrives already checked
Coverage, deductible and remaining maximum are saved on the patient’s page before they sit down, so nobody is quoting from memory.
At the counter
You collect the right amount
The estimate comes from the plan, so the number you ask for is the number that holds when the claim pays.
After
Fewer surprises to chase
Most write-offs and awkward phone calls start with a benefit nobody checked. This is the cheapest place to stop that.
