Questions dental practices owners ask
Is this HIPAA compliant?
The base product is not — it's designed for non-PHI inbound (booking, hours, insurance carrier names). For practices that handle PHI in voice or SMS, we offer a $2,000/mo HIPAA Compliance add-on with full BAA, audit logging, and HIPAA-compliant infrastructure. Email support@morthn.com to discuss.
Does it integrate with my practice management software?
Today: any system that exposes Cal.com, Google Calendar, or webhook integrations (Dentrix, Open Dental, Curve via Zapier, etc.). Native PMS integrations (direct Dentrix sync etc.) ship as a Scale-tier feature.
How does it handle insurance verification?
It asks the caller for their insurance carrier + ID, captures the info, and either (a) flags it for your front desk to verify, or (b) integrates with your verification system if you have one. The agent never makes coverage promises it can't verify.
