We have heard quite a bit in recent months about artificial intelligence (AI) and the changes it is bringing and will continue to bring to the dental industry. However, when it comes to the dental practice, there are uses for AI that now include taking some of the burden out of trying to navigate the world of dental insurance at the front desk.

I recently sat down with Cairo Murphy, the founder of Stratus, a company uses AI to help dental practices succeed more in the insurance game. As stated on the company's website, "With our advanced AI voice technology, Stratus makes the calls to insurance companies for you. After our AI agent collects the necessary patient info, we generate a report that you can view and download right away."

In our interview, Murphy discusses how their AI-powered software helps dental practices with insurance verification, saving time and improving efficiency. The conversation covers topics such as the misconception that AI will replace jobs, the integration process with practice management systems, the importance of ROI in dental practices, the competitive landscape of AI solutions, and the growth and opportunities for Stratus.
