Frequently asked questions
For Licensed MN Dentists
What is MN DENTAL ACCESS?
MN DENTAL ACCESS provides dental access coordination services including people and technology to licensed Minnesota dental practices. Our services include 24/7 triage staff, insurance eligibility verification, and scheduling technology. We do not diagnose, treat, or direct clinical care.
Do you take a percentage of my production or collections?
No. You keep 100% of all fees for dental services you render. The Dental Access Coordination Service Fee is flat and is not based on treatment value, volume, or collections.
Is this a referral service?
No. Fees compensate MN DENTAL ACCESS for administrative services: triage, insurance verification, and scheduling coordination. This is not payment for patient referrals. Fees comply with MN Statute §150A.11 and federal AKS safe harbor 42 CFR § 1001.952(d).
What if the patient doesn’t show up for the appointment?
The full Dental Access Coordination Service Fee + Minnesota sales tax is refunded to your card on file. Fees are also refunded if insurance eligibility was not verified as represented.
Is sales tax charged on the fees?
Yes. Fees are subject to applicable Minnesota sales tax based on your practice location. Tax is calculated and added on the accepted case and point of sale.
Do I have to change how I diagnose or treat patients?
No. You maintain 100% clinical autonomy. You perform your own examination, determine diagnosis and treatment, and bill your usual and customary fees.
How are cases financially cleared?
All scheduling opportunities are financially cleared before you see them. Our team verifies insurance eligibility or documents patient self-pay commitment. MN DENTAL ACCESS does not guarantee patient payment to your practice.
For Patients
How do I request dental care through MN DENTAL ACCESS?
Click “Start Your Scheduling Request” and complete the form. Share your basic information, urgency and availability. Our team verifies your insurance and confirms scheduling availability before a dentist approves your case.
Is MN DENTAL ACCESS available nights and weekends?
Yes. Our triage team operates 24/7, including nights, weekends, and Minnesota holidays. Cases submitted 7:00pm–6:59am or on weekends fall under NOW After-Hours.
Will MN DENTAL ACCESS charge me a fee?
No. Patients do not pay MN DENTAL ACCESS. You pay the dental practice directly for any treatment you receive. We coordinate access; we do not provide dental treatment.
Do you guarantee I’ll be seen by a dentist?
We cannot guarantee a dentist will accept your case. Dentists review cases based on their schedule, specialty, and availability. Submitting a request does not create a dentist-patient relationship.
