DayDream
Also known as: DayDream Dental
AI powered dental billing and revenue cycle platform that automates insurance verification, claims, payment posting, and AR follow up, with an AI voice agent that calls payers.
DayDream combines AI automation with in house dental billing experts to run revenue cycle management for dental practices. The platform connects directly to practice management systems such as Open Dental, automating insurance verification with full benefit breakdowns, clean claim submission with attachments, payment posting within twenty four hours, denial appeals with payer specific templates, and AR follow up that tracks claims aging past thirty, sixty, and ninety days.
A distinctive capability: when a resubmitted claim has no updates, DayDream's AI voice agent calls the payer, navigates the phone tree, and updates the claim status automatically. The vendor maintains current contract data with more than fifty major payers and claims automated eligibility without manual contract uploads.
DayDream was founded in 2023, is headquartered in San Francisco with roughly nineteen employees per PitchBook, and counts AI Grant among its investors. Cofounders Shreyas Parab (CEO) and Anton Lin (CTO) discussed the company's agentic approach to claims recovery on the American Optimist podcast in 2025.

Pricing
About four hundred to six hundred dollars per month (per vendor blog; disputed)
monthly flat fee (blog) versus hybrid flat plus percentage of collections (competitor comparison)
What is public
A vendor blog states a monthly range with zero per claim fees; a third party comparison states rates are not published and describes a hybrid model. No canonical pricing page was retrieved.
Billing mechanics
Either a flat monthly fee (vendor blog) or a hybrid flat plus performance based percentage of collections (competitor comparison). Unresolved.
Cost watchouts
A percentage of collections component, if present, scales cost with practice revenue; the AI voice agent and payer calling are bundled per the vendor's zero per claim framing.
Variable cost rationale
If the hybrid percentage of collections model described by a competitor is accurate, cost scales with practice collections; the vendor blog's flat fee with zero per claim fees implies lower variability. The conflict itself is the exposure until confirmed.
Additional watchouts
Treat the dollar figure as provisional; request a personalized quote as even the competitor comparison recommends.
Sales call required
Yes — required for paid access
Free / trial
Sub one week implementation cited; no free tier documented
Lowest paid plan
About four hundred dollars per month per DayDream blog; not independently confirmed
Key ambiguities
Direct conflict between the vendor blog (four hundred to six hundred dollars per month, transparent) and a competitor comparison page (rates not publicly listed, hybrid model). Neither is a canonical pricing page.
Missing data
A canonical pricing page; whether the four hundred to six hundred dollar figure is current and complete; trial terms.
