Velugu AI
An AI agent for dental insurance

Your front desk's insurance agent.

Built for CurveHero practices. Velugu AI verifies next week's patients with every carrier, keeps your practice management system up to date, and posts EOBs when they arrive. Your team just approves.

15+ hours a week back for your front desk, to spend on patients instead of paperwork.

Wrong insurance info costs you twice: once at checkout, again when the EOB comes back.

Benefits change mid-year. Every carrier works differently. And doing it by hand means your best people spend their mornings on hold and their afternoons keying in payments.

Before the visit
Stale plan details

Coverage, maximums and frequencies drift out of date in the PMS, so estimates and invoices drift too.

At checkout
Surprise denials

A missed waiting period or downgrade turns into a denial, and an awkward call to the patient.

After the claim
Hours of posting

EOB after EOB, typed into the ledger line by line, then chased when the numbers don't match.

Time back

Give your front desk back 15+ hours every week.

Verifying one patient by hand takes at least 12 minutes. Then every EOB has to be checked line by line, payments matched to each procedure, and write-offs adjusted. For a practice seeing 50 insured patients a week, that's roughly two working days of insurance busywork.

How it works

From a clean start to a reconciled ledger.

01
Clean start

We verify every active patient's plan once and fix what's out of date in your PMS, so you begin with insurance information you can trust.

02
Weekly verification

Each week the agent checks every upcoming patient with their carrier: eligibility, coverage, maximums, deductibles, frequencies, waiting periods and downgrades.

03
You approve, we update

Changes wait in your approval queue. Once you sign off, Velugu AI updates your PMS and reads it back to confirm, so invoices are right at checkout.

04
EOBs posted on approval

When insurance sends an EOB, Velugu AI reads it and lines up the payments. Approve, and they're posted to your PMS, ready to reconcile. Short pays get flagged.

An agent you can check

It does the work. Your team stays in charge.

Velugu AI is built carrier by carrier, tested against each one, and never changes your records without a person saying yes.

Built for each carrier

Every carrier gets its own tested integration, not a one-size-fits-all tool.

Proof for every check

A record of exactly what the carrier reported, saved with each verification.

Approval before any change

Plan updates and payment postings wait in a queue until your team approves.

Read back and confirmed

After each update, Velugu AI reads the field back to make sure it saved correctly.

Security & privacy

Built for patient data, not around it.

Velugu AI handles the same insurance details your front desk already works with every day. Here's what it touches, how it's protected, and who stays in control.

Only what the work needs
Velugu AI works from your schedule, insurance and billing records: what it takes to check coverage and post payments. It doesn't touch clinical notes, x-rays or treatment charts.
Encrypted, with access limits
Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and each practice's records are kept separate from every other practice's.
Business associate agreement
We sign a HIPAA business associate agreement with your practice, and our infrastructure and AI vendors are covered by BAAs, before any patient data is processed.
A person approves every change
Nothing is written to your practice management system or posted to your ledger until your team approves it. Every update is logged: who approved it, what changed, and what the carrier reported. You can revoke access at any time.

Questions from your compliance lead or IT vendor? We'll send our security overview and BAA before the first call. Request the security overview

Pilot program

A founding price for our first 5 CurveHero practices.

Join the pilot and we'll clean up every patient's insurance first, then run everything Velugu AI does each week, at a price that's locked in.

What's a Clean Start?

We verify every active patient's plan and fix what's out of date in CurveHero, so you begin with insurance information you can trust. It takes about 1–2 weeks depending on practice size, and about 30–45 minutes of your team's time.

FAQ

Questions practices ask us.

Which practice management systems do you support?

CurveHero today. If you use Dentrix, Eaglesoft, Open Dental or another system, join the waitlist and we'll reach out when we support it.

Which insurance carriers do you work with?

Delta Dental across 13+ states, Cigna, MetLife, UnitedHealthcare, Guardian, Anthem, BCBS, Humana, DentaQuest and more. Bring your top carriers to the demo and we'll confirm coverage for your payer mix.

How long does it take to get started?

About 30–45 minutes of your team's time to set up. Your Clean Start takes 1–2 weeks depending on practice size, and weekly verification begins right after.

Will Velugu AI change anything without our approval?

No. Every plan update and every payment posting waits in your approval queue. Nothing is written to CurveHero until your team says yes.

Who can see our data?

Your team and the Velugu AI team, under a signed business associate agreement. Our privacy policy covers the details, and we'll send our security overview to your compliance lead on request.

What if a carrier changes how it reports benefits?

We check every carrier integration regularly and fix changes on our side, usually before you'd notice. If something looks off, it's flagged for review, never written to your records.

What does it cost after the pilot? Can we cancel?

Pilot practices keep $499/month for 12 months. After the 6-month minimum, you can cancel anytime with 30 days' notice.
