Flat weekly pricing from $299 per FTE (volume based). Live in 14 days.
The Work Your Team Does in WinOMS, We Staff
What Is WinOMS, and Where Does It Stand Today?
WinOMS is a server-based practice management system built for oral and maxillofacial surgery offices, part of the Carestream Dental family whose software now runs under the Sensei brand. It reflects how an OMS practice actually works: referral-driven intake, surgical scheduling, and billing that spans CDT dental codes and medical claims with ICD-10 diagnosis coding, because extractions, pathology, trauma, and orthognathic cases routinely involve medical insurance. The vendor’s position is plain: practices on WinOMS can keep using it with ongoing support, and Sensei Cloud is the offered migration path when a practice decides to move.
The staffing problem is the dual-billing problem. A biller who only knows dental claims will leave medical money on the table; a medical biller will stumble on tooth numbers and predeterminations. People fluent in both are rare, expensive, and hard to replace when they leave. That is the gap this service closes; the wider product family is covered on our Carestream Dental support page.
Who Is This For?
Oral and maxillofacial surgery practices on WinOMS: single-surgeon offices where one coordinator owns referrals, verification, and claims; multi-surgeon groups with a billing desk that cannot keep pace with surgical volume; and OMS groups adding locations while the administrative bench stays flat. It also fits practices weighing a future Sensei Cloud move that need WinOMS fully staffed until the decision is made.
Where WinOMS Practices Lose Time and Money
When a patient carries both dental and medical coverage, filing to the wrong payer first starts a coordination-of-benefits loop that can stall a surgical claim for months.
See the fixSurgical claims need radiographs, narratives, and operative documentation attached before the payer asks. Every CO-16 style denial for missing information restarts the clock on money already earned.
See the fixAn OMS practice lives on general dentists’ referrals, and every referral that sits two days without a call is a patient, and a referring relationship, drifting to another surgeon.
Medical payers run shorter, stricter appeal deadlines than most dental plans. An unposted EOB stack is not clutter, it is expiring appeal rights on high-dollar surgical claims.
See the fixReferral Intake and Consult Coordination
We work the referral queue daily: incoming referrals logged in WinOMS with the referring doctor attached, records and imaging requested, patients called and scheduled for consults while the referral is fresh, and the referring office kept informed. Your referral network is the practice’s lifeblood, and it grows when every general dentist learns their patients get called the same day.
Scheduling and the Surgical Calendar
We maintain the consult and surgical schedule in WinOMS, confirm patients with their pre-operative instructions per your protocols, coordinate the pre-surgical paperwork so charts are complete before the day of surgery, and backfill cancellations from the pending list. Surgeons operate; the calendar work happens off-site.
Dual Insurance Verification
For every surgical case we verify the dental plan and, where the case crosses into medical, the medical plan too: benefits, deductibles and out-of-pocket status, exclusions, and which payer is primary for the procedure at hand. Coordination of benefits gets settled before surgery, not discovered after a denial, and the treatment coordinator quotes the patient a number built on both plans.
Prior Authorizations and Predeterminations
Orthognathic cases, implants, pathology, and sedation often need payer approval on one side or both: dental predeterminations with radiographs and charting, medical prior authorizations with clinical documentation and medical-necessity support assembled from the surgeon’s notes. We submit, track, and chase every request to a decision, and the answer is in WinOMS before the case is scheduled.
Cross-Coded Claims (CDT and CPT)
Dedicated OMS billers prepare and submit both claim types from your system: dental claims on CDT codes with tooth numbers and surfaces, and medical claims cross-coded to CPT with ICD-10 diagnoses, place-of-service logic, and the operative narratives payers expect on surgical procedures. Attachments go out with the first submission, rejections get worked the day they land, and dual-coverage cases follow the correct primary-secondary order so payments do not stall in carrier ping-pong.
Posting, AR, and Appeals
We post dental EOBs and medical remittances line by line, reconcile deposits, and work the aging with the urgency oral surgery AR deserves: high-dollar claims called early, denials routed to appeal with documentation inside the payer’s window, and patient balances handled with statements and courteous follow-up. Because medical appeal deadlines run tight, the posting desk and the appeals desk are the same team, so nothing expires in a stack.
Reports and Day-End Admin
Day sheets balanced, unsubmitted claims checked, referral-source production tracked so you know which relationships to nurture, and AR reviewed weekly by payer and by surgeon. The month-end picture your practice manages by arrives complete, without anyone on-site staying late to build it.

Referrals, dual verification, cross-coded claims, and appeals: pick the seats you need and watch a trained team work your own WinOMS system before you commit to anything.
Book Your 2-Week Free TrialHow Our Teams Train and Go Live on WinOMS
OMS team members train on the specialty before the software: dental versus medical claim anatomy, cross-coding discipline, coordination of benefits, and payer documentation habits. Then they learn your office’s WinOMS routines, documented into SOPs your team reviews. Go-live is supervised and gradual, with early output checked and volume ramping as accuracy is proven. Every specialist works under an individual HIPAA agreement with named credentials your practice grants and can revoke, never shared logins, and a trained backup stands ready at no charge.
Why Outsource WinOMS Work, and Why Staffingly
Dental billers who also work medical claims are the scarcest hire in oral surgery. We train for the dual skill set deliberately, so your desk stops depending on finding a unicorn locally.
Intake, verification, authorizations, claims, posting, and appeals inside one WinOMS-trained team, so cases stop falling between an answering service and a billing vendor.
A flat weekly fee per dedicated specialist. On oral surgery collections, percentage-based billing vendors get expensive fast; our price does not move with your case mix.
WinOMS is supported today, and Sensei Cloud is the offered destination. Whenever you decide, your claims and AR stay worked through the change.

$399 per week works out to $8.87 per hour across 2,340 hours of coverage a year, flat. Your dedicated specialist covers a 9 hour day, Monday to Friday, a full hour more than a standard shift: the day starts by clearing what arrived after you closed, overnight referrals, voicemails, and remittances, and it ends past your close so far less rolls into the morning. A trained backup steps in at no charge whenever they are out. Flat weekly fee per dedicated specialist, never a percentage of your collections, no setup fees.

WinOMS Outsourcing: Frequently Asked Questions
Can you outsource WinOMS billing?
Yes. Dedicated OMS billers submit dental and medical claims from your WinOMS system, attach documentation up front, work rejections and denials, post EOBs and remittances, reconcile deposits, and run appeals inside payer deadlines, with daily production reporting.
Do you handle medical claims, not just dental?
Yes, and that is the point in oral surgery. Our teams cross-code CDT procedures to CPT with ICD-10 diagnoses, manage coordination of benefits when a patient carries both plans, and file medical prior authorizations with the clinical documentation payers require.
Can you manage our referral intake?
Yes. Referrals get logged in WinOMS the day they arrive, patients get called and scheduled promptly, records get requested, and referring offices get updates, which is how the referral network grows.
Is WinOMS still supported?
Yes. WinOMS is part of the Carestream Dental family, whose software now runs under the Sensei brand, and the vendor states practices can continue using it with ongoing support. Sensei Cloud is the destination the vendor offers when a practice decides to move.
Do we need to migrate to Sensei Cloud to work with you?
No. We staff WinOMS as it runs today. If you migrate later, the same team keeps claims and AR worked through the conversion so nothing ages out during the change.
How do remote staff access our WinOMS system?
Through remote access your practice sets up and controls, with a named user account per specialist that you approve and can revoke. No shared logins and no offline exports of PHI.
What does it cost?
A flat weekly fee per dedicated specialist: $399 for 1 to 4 FTEs, $349 for 5 or more, and $299 for 10 or more. Never a percentage of your collections, and no setup fees. The engagement starts with a 2-Week Free Trial.
How fast can an OMS team start?
Most teams go live in about 14 days: access setup, your payer mix and documentation habits captured into SOPs, then supervised production that ramps as accuracy is proven.
