Client summary

Espire Dental is a multi-location dental services provider offering preventative care, routine cleanings, oral surgery, cosmetic procedures, and same-day crowns.

Its patient statement workflow handled approximately 20,000 records each month. Staff manually applied credits, generated statements, and sent individual text messages to patients.

The opportunity

High statement volume created repetitive work, backlogs, and communication delays

MANUAL PROCESSING


Staff spent hours each day applying credits, generating statements, and sending individual patient messages.

LOCATION SCHEDULING


Different dental locations required statements to be generated on specific days, adding complexity to the workflow.

COMMUNICATION AND VISIBILITY

Manual text messaging placed timely patient communication at risk, while limited performance tracking made it difficult to identify areas for improvement.

The approach

Droidal developed a Patient Statement AI Agent to manage three core parts of the workflow. The Agent posts unapplied credits, creates statement batches, and completes text-to-pay communication and reporting.

PHASE 1

POST UNAPPLIED CREDITS

The AI Agent logs into the EHR portal and posts credits from the previous six months.

PHASE 2

CREATE STATEMENT BATCHES

It generates patient statements using daily location details and validates the creation of batch IDs.

PHASE 3

SEND AND REPORT

The AI Agent sends statements to patients by text, updates the patient portal, and emails a summary report to the business team.

PHASE 4

REPORT COMPLETED ACTIVITY

It emails a summary report of the completed statement activity to the business team.
