Insurance eligibility checks at booking
Dental practice · a full 8-hour verification shift eliminated
- Task
- stop one staff member spending a full shift calling insurers and waiting for faxes, and avoid surprise bills
- Result
- eliminated an 8-hour shift of insurance verification; verification work done before the office opens; fewer surprise bills and lost patients
- Tools
- Weave Insurance Eligibility (real-time benefits used, remaining maximums, treatment eligibility dates)
- Setup
- when a patient schedules, Weave pulls real-time benefit data → staff scan remaining maximums and eligibility (e.g. next cleaning date) at the start of the day → tell patients what is and isn't covered before treatment

> Cost: Paid. Weave starts at $199 a month (Base). Reminders, forms and recall sit in the Coordinate bundle ($149) and reviews in the Attract bundle ($149). Quoted extras are called out below. There is no free trial of the full platform.
Honest note: Rules, not AI. Eligibility is quoted separately and needs payer connections.
Prerequisites
- A Weave account with your phone number and practice management system already connected (Weave onboards you).
- Weave admin access (Settings pages need an admin, and some payments pages need Super Admin or Payment Admin).
Step-by-step setup
Step 1. Turn on insurance eligibility checks. Go to Settings → Insurance → Payer Connection Management and connect your payers. Eligibility is quoted separately from the main plans.
What success looks like
Fewer surprise bills.
Common issues & fixes
- Messages do not trigger: for connected offices, open Settings → Data Sync Settings and map appointment statuses and recall types first. Weave says reminders cannot trigger until that is done.
- Feature missing from your menu: it may not be in your bundle. Weave lists availability per bundle on its Auto-Message Types page.
- Payer not available: check the supported list.
Optional: Maintenance
- Weekly: review failures.
