Running a successful dental practice today requires more than excellent clinical care—it also demands operational efficiency. One of the biggest obstacles to efficiency in many offices? Manual insurance verification. It eats up valuable staff time, introduces errors, and frustrates patients waiting for answers about their coverage.
With Stratus, Open Dental users have a powerful solution that automates insurance verification, making your practice faster, more accurate, and more profitable. Here’s why every modern dental practice should prioritize automating their verification process with Stratus.
The Hidden Costs of Manual Verification
It’s easy to underestimate how much time your team spends each day on verification:
- Calling carriers and waiting on hold.
- Logging into multiple portals.
- Interpreting complex benefits data.
- Manually entering information into Open Dental.
All of this adds up to hours of wasted productivity, not to mention the increased risk of claim denials from errors or missing information. Meanwhile, your patients are left waiting for clarity about their benefits—a poor experience for everyone involved.
How Stratus Simplifies Everything
Stratus is designed to seamlessly integrate with Open Dental, automating the entire verification process. As soon as a patient is scheduled, Stratus kicks into gear:
- Automatically verifies coverage with insurance carriers.
- Pulls accurate, up-to-date benefits information.

This automation eliminates the back-and-forth and ensures your team always has the correct information at their fingertips.
