Side by side
| Question | Tabruns | Dental Intelligence Automated Verification |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | A Chrome extension for the front desk that turns the patient's benefits page into a dollar estimate. | A practice analytics and patient engagement platform. Automated Verification is part of its Insurance module. |
| Where the benefits come from | The insurer's provider portal page your staff already has open, read when they press Read this page. | Not stated on its site. |
| When the check runs | On demand, one patient at a time, while the patient is on the phone or at the desk. | Automatically for scheduled patients, or for one patient or a list on demand. |
| Dollar estimate per treatment | Yes. Each line shows the fee, what insurance should pay and what the patient owes, after deductible, yearly maximum, waiting periods, frequency limits and downgrades. | Its page mentions an insurance estimation, without showing how it's worked out. |
| Practice software | No connection needed. The breakdown is copied and pasted into any office software. | Integrates with Eaglesoft, Dentrix, Dentrix Ascend, Denticon, Fuse and Open Dental. |
| Where patient details go | Patient name, birth date, member ID and dates stay on the office computer. They are never sent to Tabruns. | Patient and plan details go through Dental Intelligence and your practice software. The breakdown is saved as a PDF in the chart. |
| Getting started | Add the extension to Chrome and start a 7-day free trial, card saved at checkout. No demo call. | Book a demo. Verification needs both its Insurance and Engagement modules. |
| Published price | $79 per location a month, or $790 a year. Unlimited estimates and users. | Not published. |
How they differ
Dental Intelligence is a platform you buy in modules, and verification needs two of them. Tabruns is one product at one price.
Dental Intelligence works from the insurance already in your practice software. Tabruns works from the benefits page on the insurer's portal and shows where each number came from, so staff can check it.
