The same Colorado Access check that takes 15 to 25 minutes on the phone. Ten patients tomorrow: ten checks, or three hours on hold.
1 billing name
Every one routes to payer ID COACC, and so do 6 older payer IDs still printed on cards. No guessing which card this is.

From $39/mo
Per location, billed yearly. Found checks are billed once a month, $2.50 each and less as you run more. No seat fees, no processing fees.
The phone way
Call, hold, transcribe, repeat.
Verifying Colorado Access by phone means a menu, a hold queue, and 15 to 25 minutes per patient while someone at the desk reads benefits back by hand. Ten patients on tomorrow's schedule is half a workday on hold.

How practices handle this today, in their own words
Verbatim from recorded calls to dental 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.
How getting set up works
Book a discovery call
A 15-minute call with our team: we show you a check and size your plan. Then you sign up from the link we send you: create the account, sign the agreement, and put a card on file.
Save your carriers and codes
Pick the insurance carriers you take and the codes you check.
Run a check in one click
Sign in, pick a patient and see their coverage in seconds before the visit, Colorado Access included. No hold music, no portal logins.
Under half an hour of your time all in. See how the software compares, how a real-time check works, or what outsourcing costs.
