How it works for dental practices in Arizona
Arizona dental practices generate patient-responsibility balances ranging from $80 to $1,200 after insurance has adjudicated. The billing cycle is familiar: insurance pays its share in 30 to 60 days, the statement goes to the patient, and the balance can sit unpaid for another 60 days before anyone makes a call. Practices with multiple chairs can generate 150 to 300 patient-balance invoices per month; even a five-percent past-due rate is 8 to 15 invoices sitting in AR that reduce monthly collections. Syntharra connects to QuickBooks, Xero, FreshBooks, or your practice management system's accounting export and calls on day three past due. The agent references the dollar amount and invoice date only -- never procedures, diagnoses, or clinical record details.
Arizona compliance specifics
Arizona is an all-party consent state under A.R.S. §13-3005: all parties to a call must consent before it may be recorded. Syntharra obtains this consent at the start of every call via a disclosure statement before any substantive discussion of the balance. Arizona's small claims limit of $3,500 (A.R.S. §22-503) is the lowest in the country, which limits the small-claims venue for mid-size patient balances. The six-year written contract SOL (A.R.S. §12-548) provides a reasonable litigation window for larger balances pursued through Justice Court.
