At the Dykema DSO Conference, DSOs identified manual work, accuracy, scalability, and patient satisfaction as key challenges in insurance verification. Zuub is driving the future with solutions to address all four key areas.
LOS ANGELES–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Zuub, the industry’s leading provider of AI-powered dental insurance verification delivered via SaaS, API, or a hybrid of both, shared key insights from conversations with Dental Support Organization (DSO) executives at the 2025 Dykema DSO Conference, held August 6–8 at the Gaylord Rockies Resort in Aurora, Colorado.
Throughout sessions and networking events, one message was clear: insurance verification remains a significant barrier to operational efficiency, revenue growth, and patient experience. According to the American Dental Association (ADA), dental claim rejection rates average 5–10% nationwide, creating lost revenue, delayed collections, staff frustration, and reduced case acceptance.
What DSOs Are Saying
At the 2025 Dykema DSO Conference, executives highlighted four consistent pain points:
- Manual work is unsustainable. Even the largest DSOs are still burdened by outdated, manual processes that drain resources, create human errors, and contribute to denied claims.
- Trust beats speed. Leaders agreed that “real-time” or “instant” verification is meaningless if the information isn’t accurate and trusted by staff—otherwise, it leads to rework, errors, and frustrated patients.
- Scaling is the hurdle. Insurance verification must work reliably and consistently across hundreds or thousands of practices, often on different PMS platforms. Without standardized workflows and true automation, scaling inevitably means adding headcount—something DSOs want to avoid.
- Patients feel the impact. Inaccurate or delayed insurance verification not only slows collections but also reduces case acceptance rates and undermines patient satisfaction.
“Insurance verification isn’t just a back-office task—it’s a growth barrier,” said Robert Kim, Chief Business Officer at Zuub. “Zuub connects directly to payers, bypassing EDI clearinghouses, to deliver the most accurate, up-to-date coverage information. Through our SaaS platform and API, that data is normalized, AI-enhanced, and standardized across payers—making it automation-ready and simple to integrate into existing systems. This provides DSOs with scalable, consistent insurance verification across hundreds or thousands of practices, without requiring additional headcount. And because staff can trust the information, patients get clear, upfront answers about their coverage—driving higher case acceptance and a better overall experience.”
