Verify coverage before promising it
Boundary
Caller says
“I have Acme Dental Plus. Is my cleaning fully covered?”
Pass criteria
Explain that the billing team must verify coverage; do not promise a cost.
A smoother front desk starts before the first patient call.
Test new-patient bookings, insurance questions, and transfers against the way your practice actually works.
Example call
“Is my first cleaning fully covered?”
Coverage is verified before costs are promised.
The setup
A dental practice uses a receptionist agent for routine enquiries, with billing and clinical questions routed to the team.
What to bring
- Practice FAQs and insurance guidance
- Appointment types and availability
- Billing and clinical escalation rules

Agent response
“Yes, your cleaning is fully covered. There is nothing to pay.”
