Local payer mix

A city of large employers, and their group plans.

Seven Pasadena employers have more than 2,000 staff each. For a dental office that usually means many group plans, each with its own portal and EOB layout, and often two plans per household.

Large employers commonly fund their own plans. Those fall under federal ERISA law, so California’s 30-day payment deadline generally does not apply. The California billing guide explains which plans it covers.

What Sai does about it

More payers, same morning.

Sai works through the screen, so it is not limited to payers with an integration. It signs in to each portal, downloads new statements, posts every line and matches the deposit. Anything that does not add up is flagged for your coordinator. New to the arithmetic? Start with how to read a dental EOB.

Do you work with offices in South Pasadena and San Marino?

Yes, along with the rest of the San Gabriel Valley and Southern California.

Our patients have dozens of employer plans. Can Sai handle that?

That is the case it is built for. Adding a payer is a matter of setup, not of waiting for an integration. We go through your payer list during onboarding.

Does California’s 30-day payment rule cover every plan?

No. It covers plans licensed by the Department of Managed Health Care and insurers regulated by the Department of Insurance. Self-funded employer plans under federal ERISA law are generally outside it.
