What Is mConsent?
mConsent is a patient engagement platform that digitizes the front-desk workflow for dental practices. The core product replaces paper intake forms with digital versions that patients complete on their phone before arriving or on an in-office tablet at check-in. Completed forms sync directly into your practice management system -- no scanning, no manual entry, no clipboard handoffs.
But mConsent has expanded well beyond forms. The platform now includes:
- Insurance Verification: Automated eligibility checks that verify coverage in minutes. An optional "Insurance Concierge" service outsources the entire verification process to mConsent's team, who log in, call providers, and deliver the breakdown.
- mPayr: Integrated payment processing with digital invoicing and competitive processing rates.
- Appointment Reminders: Automated SMS reminders with patient confirmations and two-way texting.
- Online Scheduling: Patient self-booking that syncs with your PMS calendar.
- Zaha AI: An AI assistant that handles routine patient inquiries and workflows.
The platform is HIPAA-compliant and integrates with the three PMS platforms that collectively power the majority of US dental practices: Dentrix, Open Dental, and Eaglesoft.
Who Is It For?
mConsent targets small to mid-size general dental practices that are still using paper forms and manual insurance verification. If your front desk team spends 15-20 minutes per new patient on intake paperwork and insurance phone calls, mConsent directly attacks that waste.
The paperless forms are the entry point, but the real value proposition is the full front-desk automation stack: forms, insurance verification, payments, and reminders in one platform. Practices that currently use separate tools for each of these workflows can consolidate into mConsent and reduce vendor complexity.
Specialty practices and larger DSOs can use mConsent, but the platform is not built for complex multi-provider scheduling or enterprise-grade reporting. Practices with 1-5 providers are the sweet spot.
Key Features
Paperless Intake Forms: Patients complete HIPAA consent, medical history, and custom practice forms online from home or on an in-office tablet. Forms auto-populate into your PMS. Templates cover standard dental forms plus custom form builder for practice-specific needs.
Insurance Verification: Two tiers of service. Automated verification checks eligibility and benefits in minutes. The Insurance Concierge tier outsources the entire process -- mConsent's team calls insurance providers, gets breakdowns, and delivers results to your practice. This is genuinely useful for practices drowning in verification calls.
mPayr Payment Processing: Integrated payment collection with digital invoicing, text-to-pay, and competitive processing rates. Patients can pay from their phone before or after appointments.
Appointment Reminders & 2-Way Texting: Automated SMS reminders reduce no-shows. Patients can confirm, cancel, or reschedule directly via text. Two-way texting for general patient communication.
Online Patient Scheduling: Self-service booking that syncs with PMS availability. New and existing patients can book online 24/7.
Zaha AI: An AI-powered assistant that handles routine patient inquiries, freeing up front desk staff. Still relatively new -- capabilities are expanding.
