Know what hasn’t.
A payer’s payment notice is not the same as money in the bank.

Your practice.
Your way of working.
Our direction is to take on the payment workflow in the software you already use, across dental PMSs.
Before onboarding, we confirm supported workflows and access requirements. Your practice authorizes access and approves adjustment policies and exception handling.
A few things to know.
What does Kato handle now?
Kato starts with dental payment posting and reconciliation: retrieving available remittances, verifying corresponding deposits, posting payments and practice-approved adjustments in your PMS, and reconciling the records. Claim submission, denial appeals, payer follow-up, and collections campaigns are outside this initial rollout.
Do we need to change our PMS?
Our direction is to work in the practice software you already use, across dental PMSs. Cloud and locally installed systems have different requirements. We review your actual setup before onboarding; vendor authorization does not mean every integration or product is live.
What happens when payment records do not match?
Missing or ambiguous evidence stays unresolved. A payer’s payment notice, a matching amount, or a PMS posting alone does not prove the deposit arrived. Kato keeps the difference visible; uncertain adjustments are handled under your approved policies, not automatically written off.
How do onboarding and pricing work?
We review your workflow, confirm supported access, and agree on scope, authorizations, adjustment policies, and exception handling. Kato costs $1.75 USD per claim, billable only after Kato finishes both posting and reconciling it. Pay for what you use, with no lock-in.
