The Oregon Dental Association (ODA) has broadened its technology partnership with iCoreConnect, expanding its endorsement to include six cloud-based software solutions designed to optimize dental practice management. Building on their initial collaboration in 2020 focused on electronic prescribing, the ODA now endorses a comprehensive suite of digital tools including iCoreVerify for automated insurance verifications, iCoreClaims for dental claims and billing services, iCorePay for digital patient statements and payments, iCoreAcademy for patient education videos, and iCoreExchange for encrypted HIPAA-compliant email. This expansion represents a significant commitment to integrating technology into daily dental operations across Oregon.
CEO Robert McDermott highlighted the significance of these innovations, emphasizing that the solutions are engineered to enhance revenue cycle management, operational efficiency, and security throughout the patient experience. The tools address critical pain points in dental practices, from streamlining insurance verification processes to securing patient communications. iCoreConnect has established over 200 product endorsement agreements nationwide, positioning itself as a leader in developing specialized cloud-based solutions for healthcare providers.

Dr. Caroline Zeller, ODA President, noted that these technological advancements provide members with expanded opportunities to improve business operations and drive profitability. The endorsement reflects a broader trend of state dental organizations leveraging technology to modernize practice management. By adopting these cloud-based solutions, dental practices can potentially reduce administrative burdens, minimize errors in insurance processing, and enhance patient engagement through digital tools. The iCoreAcademy platform specifically offers educational resources that can help practices improve patient understanding of treatments and procedures.
The expanded partnership comes at a time when dental practices are increasingly seeking digital solutions to improve efficiency and patient care. The iCoreExchange platform's encrypted email system addresses growing concerns about data security and HIPAA compliance in healthcare communications. Meanwhile, iCorePay's digital payment solutions align with consumer preferences for convenient transaction methods. These tools collectively represent a shift toward more integrated, technology-driven practice management in dentistry. The ODA's endorsement serves as a validation of these solutions' effectiveness and reliability for dental professionals throughout the state.
