Written back to Open Dental

Connected to Open Dental

No vendor API.
No new screens.

The Ventus agent works through the Open Dental interface, the same screens your team uses. What is written back is configured for your group.

All integrations

Open Dental

Benefit fields, notes and attachments written back to the patient record, without database changes.

Supported

Pre-authorization results

Determinations and reference numbers written back to Open Dental, too.

Writeback does not depend on a vendor API. Benefit fields, notes and attachments are configured for each customer.

A rollout that fits your group

One setup.
Across your group.

One central setup, with about a month to go live. Start with your payers, your Open Dental setup and your verification volume.

Discuss your rollout and pricing

  3. 03

Insurance verification
Does Ventus need the Open Dental API or a plugin?

No. The Ventus agent works through the Open Dental interface, the same screens your team uses, so writeback does not depend on a vendor API or a plugin.

What does Ventus write back into Open Dental?

It is configured for each group: benefit fields such as deductibles, remaining maximums, frequency limits, waiting periods and downgrades, an appointment note, and the supporting evidence as an attachment. A field the payer did not answer is shown as unknown, never as not covered.

Open Dental has an API. Why doesn't Ventus need it?

Ventus works through the Open Dental interface, so there is no custom development or database change on your side, and writeback works the same across your offices.

Will our team need to change how they use Open Dental?

No. Your team keeps working in Open Dental. Completed verifications are already in the patient record before the visit, and only exceptions come to a person, with everything else filled in.

How long does a multi-location rollout on Open Dental take?

Plan for about a month, with one central setup for the group rather than a project for each office. Your group provides written authorization, business associate agreements and practice-owned payer credentials where required. Adding a payer not yet covered takes about a week.

Is patient data secure?

Ventus is SOC 2 Type II certified and HIPAA compliant, and signs a business associate agreement with every customer. Every answer is kept with its evidence: the payer response, portal screenshot or call recording.

Your payers. Your Open Dental.

Let’s make it work
for your group.
