Startup cohort · Southern California

Dental billing automation for Southern California practices.

Sai for Dentists is an AI agent that does the insurance paperwork on a computer in your office. It retrieves EOBs from your payer portals, posts the payments to your practice management software and reconciles them against your bank deposits. Offices in the first cohort use it free.

What Sai does

The three jobs behind every insurance payment.

EOB retrieval

Sai signs in to each payer portal your office uses, clears two-factor prompts and downloads every new claim statement.

Payment posting

Each EOB is read line by line. Payments and write-offs are entered in your practice management software, and the patient portion is left on the ledger.

Bank reconciliation

Every insurance deposit is matched to the EOBs that explain it. Anything that does not add up is flagged for your team.

Retrieval is a sped-up recording on a mock payer portal. Analysis and posting are illustrations with sample data.

Why here first

Built by a dentist in Glendora.

Amalgamate Technologies was founded by Dr. Salem Sayegh, a general dentist whose own practice keeps two full-time employees on insurance administration. The first cohort is local so that setup and tuning happen alongside the teams who will use it.

Compared

Sai and an outsourced dental billing company.

Many offices that look for dental billing services want the posting and follow-up off their plate. These are two ways to get there, and they can run side by side.

Questions

From Southern California offices.

Which parts of Southern California are you enrolling?

The first cohort is open to dental offices across Los Angeles County, Orange County, the Inland Empire, San Diego County and Ventura County. Amalgamate was founded by a practicing dentist in Glendora, in the San Gabriel Valley.

Is Sai a dental billing company?

No. Sai for Dentists is an AI agent, built by Amalgamate Technologies and Simular, that does the retrieval, posting and reconciliation work on a computer in your office. It can work alongside your in-house coordinator or your existing billing company.

What does it cost?

Offices in the startup cohort use Sai free of charge as design partners. Once the product is in production, cohort offices move to startup pricing, which is a fixed price rather than a percentage of collections.

Does it work with Dentrix, Eaglesoft and Open Dental?

Yes. Sai works through the screen rather than through integrations, so it can be tuned to any practice management system and any payer portal your office uses. During onboarding we customize it to your software and your portal logins.

What do you need from our office?

A dedicated computer for Sai to work on, your insurance information and portal logins for setup, and honest feedback on what Sai gets right and wrong.
