When a dentist finishes a procedure, they don't get paid. They submit a claim to an insurance company and wait 30 to 60 days. If anything is wrong, a missing document, a code the insurer doesn't like, it gets denied. The practice has to figure out what went wrong, fix it, resubmit, and wait again.

The average dental practice collects 84 cents on every dollar it produces. The entire process is run by people doing repetitive work that should not require people.

Kato is an autonomous billing system for dental practices. It connects to a practice's existing software, reads clinical data after a procedure is charted, generates correct billing codes, scrubs the claim against payer-specific rules, and submits it electronically.

After submission, it logs into insurance portals every night, checks the status of every outstanding claim, and when a denial comes back, it reads the reason, determines the correction, fixes the claim, and resubmits. No human touches it.

When insurance pays, it posts the payment and collects whatever the patient owes.

It does not assist a billing team. It replaces one.

We are not building tools for billing staff. We are building the system that makes billing staff unnecessary.
