About
Eligibility+ by Curve is a fully automated, AI-enabled dental insurance verification tool designed specifically for dental practices of all sizes—from independent offices to multi-location groups. Operating natively within the Curve dental platform, it removes the burden of manual insurance verification by pulling real-time, code-level coverage data directly from payer portals before patients even arrive. At the heart of Eligibility+ is SmartSync technology, which not only retrieves accurate insurance data but also automatically compares it to existing information in Curve and flags any discrepancies. Staff simply review and approve changes, which are then instantly populated into the system—turning hours of busywork into a few quick clicks. Key outcomes reported by practices using Eligibility+ include saving 15–30 minutes per patient verification, reducing administrative workload by 40%, boosting treatment acceptance rates by 20%, and increasing same-day treatment acceptance by 150%. By giving patients clear, upfront coverage details, practices can reduce billing surprises and improve the overall patient experience. Eligibility+ is available as an add-on to an active Curve subscription, making it a natural extension for practices already using Curve's cloud-based practice management system. It is ideal for dental office managers, front-desk staff, and practice owners looking to reclaim staff hours, reduce errors, and run a more efficient, patient-centered practice.
