Can we have more than one AR Admin in the settings?

  • Only one AR Admin name and number can be set in the “Payments Settings”. This is the name that will appear in the message to the patient.

  • There can be multiple AR Admins given access to the Payments Dashboard, if the office has set up as an Admin for your Dental Intelligence account, they can also have access to the Analytics Payments dashboard.

How do patients get added to the dashboard? What is the process?

  • Based upon the workflow settings you establish in “Payments Settings.” When initially setting up, the practice determines what patients get pulled into the payments to request list on the dashboard, and these settings can be changed at any time.

  • Once “Done” is selected in the workflow, the system will perform a sync with your PMS to find the patients that meet the criteria, and every day we pull them into a queue labeled “Messages to Send”, for you to review.

  • Remember: If you change the parameters of the workflow, this will reset the list of the campaign labeled “Payments to Request.”


Payments Messaging Questions

What phone number or name will the text notifications be coming from?

  • The number used to send text messages is a randomly generated number through a messaging platform.

What happens if a text message fails?

  • Failed messages will be found on the Payments Dashboard in “Undeliverable Messages”

  • Once the correct information is updated and saved, Dental Intelligence will send out a message within 10 minutes.

The practice should update the correct number in the Analytics Payments tool and the PMS. Di does not update the PMS with this new mobile number.

If a patient is under 18, who receives the message?

  • The default is to send the message to the guarantor, which is recommended.

The guarantor is defined in the PMS, this will dictate which name is included in the messages
