What Is IntakeIQ?

IntakeIQ is an AI-powered dental intake automation platform that replaces paper forms, manual data entry, and phone-based insurance verification with a single, intelligent patient experience. From the moment a patient receives an appointment confirmation to the second they sit in the chair, IntakeIQ handles intake, insurance, and medical history — automatically, accurately, and in compliance with HIPAA.

Core Features

📝

Smart Intake Forms

Dynamic, conditional digital forms that adapt based on patient responses. If a patient marks "Yes" to diabetes, follow-up questions about medications and A1C levels appear automatically. Supports e-signatures, multi-language (English + Spanish), and auto-save so patients can complete forms across sessions.

📷

Insurance Card OCR

Patients snap a photo of their insurance card. IntakeIQ's OCR engine extracts carrier, group number, member ID, and plan type with 98%+ accuracy. No more squinting at faxes or manually transcribing card numbers. Works with dental, medical, and secondary insurance cards.

Eligibility Verification

Real-time insurance eligibility checks via direct clearinghouse connections. Verify coverage, remaining benefits, deductibles, and frequency limitations — before the patient arrives. Flags mismatches between submitted and verified data. Reduces claim denials by up to 60%.

🧠

AI Medical History

AI-powered analysis of patient-reported medical history. Automatically flags drug interactions, contraindicated procedures, and conditions requiring pre-medication (e.g., joint replacements, heart conditions). Generates a chair-side summary card for the treating dentist with risk-scored highlights.

📊

Office Dashboard

Real-time visibility into every patient's intake status: form completion %, insurance verified (Y/N), medical flags, and time-to-ready. Filter by date, provider, or status. DSO customers see cross-location analytics with benchmarking. Exportable reports for operations reviews.

🔄

PMS Sync

Bi-directional integration with major dental PMS platforms. Patient demographics, insurance details, medical history, and consent forms sync directly into your PMS — no double entry. Supports Open Dental (native API), Dentrix, Eaglesoft, and tab32. New integrations added quarterly.
