There’s one hot topic on everyone’s mind these days, and it’s the development of Artificial Intelligence. While there are some real problems with this technology, there are also innovations that help us to live more efficient lives. It’s also important to remember that some companies are already starting to integrate AI and machine learning into their processes. Medicare is using AI in the medical space in their “voluntary prior auth” program and it is causing havoc with the prior authorization process then medical providers are having to request review which is delaying care in these cases. Because if you are a dental professional in 2026, you need to be prepared for AI audits.

Payers Are Already Using AI Technology
It’s not a matter of if Artificial Intelligence technology will be used by dental insurance payers in the future. They are already doing so, and if you are not ready for that change, it can catch you off-guard. In order to root out fraud, waste, and abuse, AI technology allows payers to inspect your work nearly instantly. Now, that can startle some dentists and oral health professionals, and we completely understand why.
A few states have even started to take measures to ensure that a human is involved in the oversight process. California and Arizona already have laws on the books to make sure that real dental health professionals can review a denial or claim modification before it happens. Illinois and Oklahoma are both working on their own rules related to this practice, too.
Unprepared For AI Audits? Change That
So, if you’ve not been paying attention to how AI and machine learning impact you as a dentist, now’s the time to learn. Payers can see some sizable savings by denying coverage, so they are bound to continue developing this technology to suit them. And while there may be laws to regulate how they are being utilized, AI is a part of our lives now.
Our office is going to stay up to date with the latest in dental insurance payer processes so you can navigate them effectively and efficiently. The problem is the key words each payer will use to trigger a denial may be different and a word flagged out of context delays care or costs money to fight!
