How It Works

Three steps. Zero upfront risk.

Cairn’s platform connects to your practice management system, identifies what your payers owe, and our specialists handle the rest.

Cairn Platform

Audit

Cairn’s platform integrates with your PMS — Dentrix, Eaglesoft, or Open Dental — and runs a systematic analysis of your claim history. We identify every denied, underpaid, and recoverable claim going back 18–24 months.

RECOVERY

Recover

Our billing specialists — guided by Cairn’s proprietary payer intelligence — work the appeals, resubmissions, and follow-ups on your behalf. You stay focused on your patients. We stay focused on your backlog.

Cairn Platform

Repayment

Recovered dollars go directly to your practice. Cairn takes a contingency percentage of what we recover — nothing if we come up empty. You also receive a full recovery report: what was found, what was collected, and what patterns to watch going forward.

Technology-driven recovery. Expert oversight.

Every other billing service sends a person with a spreadsheet. Cairn’s proprietary claim intelligence platform identifies denial patterns across payers, procedure codes, and claim histories — finding recovery opportunities that manual review consistently misses.

Payer-specific denial pattern recognition— our platform has mapped the denial logic of every major payer in your market
Priority scoring on every claim— we work highest-value recoveries first, maximizing your return in the shortest window
Recovery intelligence reporting— you leave every audit knowing exactly what was leaking and how to close it

From Audit to Actionable Insight

Uncover hidden reimbursement opportunities through deep claim analysis, denial pattern detection, and actionable insights designed to strengthen future collections.

Claim History Analysis

Systematic review of 18–24 months of claim data, cross-referenced against payer adjudication patterns and CDT code-level denial rates.

Denial Pattern Intelligence

Our platform identifies recurring denial patterns by payer, by procedure code, and by claim type — building a practice-specific recovery playbook for every audit.

Recovery Intelligence Report

Every practice receives a full recovery intelligence report — not just a check, but a data-driven picture of what was leaking, why, and how to prevent it going forward.

Hear From Our Experts

Chasing denied insurance claims is probably the biggest headache my staff deals with. What used to take 8 hours a week now takes 40 hours — time we just don’t have.

I’d say over half of the time I spend chasing claims is ‘wasted’ — organizing data, matching codes, getting the run around from payers. Cairn changed everything.

Frequently Asked Questions

What counts as a recovery?

A recovery is any dollar collected from an insurance payer on a previously denied, underpaid, or unresolved claim. Before active work begins, Cairn and your practice agree on the complete list of claims we’ll pursue — our fee applies only to dollars recovered from that agreed scope. If a claim is worked and the payer doesn’t pay, there is no fee for that claim.

Are there any hidden fees?

No. Cairn’s only fee is a contingency percentage applied to recovered dollars. No setup fees, no retainers, no charge for the audit itself, and no fees for claims we pursue but don’t collect. If we don’t recover anything, you owe nothing. Full pricing is covered during your initial call with our team.

What if my claims are too old?

Cairn’s technology identifies and prioritizes claims based on recoverability likelihood, and ensures we only work claims that fall within the established filing windows of your insurance payers. Claims outside those windows are excluded from scope before any work begins.

Do I need to sign a long-term contract?

The initial recovery audit is a single engagement with a defined scope and a clear end point. There is no ongoing commitment required. At the close of the engagement you receive a full recovery report — what was found, what was collected, and what patterns in your payer mix contributed to the backlog.

Is my patient and practice data secure?

Yes, all PII is handled up to the highest HIPAA standards. You can access more details about our data handling processes within our HIPAA BAA here.
