Zentist uses advanced technology to simplify and automate insurance revenue cycle management (RCM) for multi-location dental service providers located throughout the United States. Remit AI, the companys flagship cloud-based RCM software, centralizes explanation of benefits (EOBs) and electronic remittance advice (ERA) data from across 700+ payers for faster payment posting and ease of reconciliation, while reducing insurance denials through better payer-specific data intelligence. At a time when U.S. dental practices and dental support/partnership organizations (DSOs/DPOs) collectively lose an estimated $2.1 billion due to legacy billing systems, Zentist leverages robotic process automation (RPA) and machine learning to place otherwise tedious RCM tasks, such as insurance payment posting, on autopilot, thereby freeing up employee time for elevating the patient experience. Based in San Francisco and having successfully completed Series A funding, Zentist is backed by leading investment firms.
