Kato is an autonomous dental billing system built specifically for dental practices. It manages the operational work across the revenue cycle—building and submitting claims, monitoring denials, posting insurance payments, reconciling deposits, and collecting patient balances. Practices get one connected workflow instead of separate queues, spreadsheets, and point solutions.
Dental claims and coding
Kato reads clinical documentation, prepares CDT-coded dental claims, checks them against payer requirements, attaches supporting records, and submits them electronically. The system keeps claims moving without waiting for a billing team to work another manual queue.
Denial management and recovery
When a payer rejects or denies a claim, Kato identifies the reason, finds the required correction or attachment, and prepares the next action. Dental practices can address preventable denials earlier and maintain a consistent follow-up process across payers.
Payment posting and patient collections
Kato matches electronic remittance advice to the practice ledger, applies contractual adjustments, reconciles insurance deposits, and flags exceptions for review. It also automates patient statements, payment plans, and consent-based collections in the practice’s voice.
