Learn Mesio

Start here once you have an account and a signed BAA. It ends with your first finished note, back in your own system.

1. What Mesio does on day one

   What one visit produces, and the longer list it holds back.

2. Learn it without touching your practice

   Synthetic patients, a real microphone, nothing that reaches your practice.

3. Twenty minutes before your first patient

   At the chair, on the microphone you will really use.

4. Recording a visit

   Starting, stopping, and what happens if the internet drops.

5. Reading and signing the note

   Correcting quickly, and what signing actually does.

6. Sending the patient home with something

   Their tooth map, their plan, and where the numbers come from.

Chart a full perio exam by speaking, with your hands where they belong.

1. How voice perio actually works

   It follows the chart, knows where your probe is, and stops rather than guess.

2. Perio dictation: the phrases that work

   The sections, the rhythm, and corrections that name their target.

3. Practicing before a patient is in the chair

   The Coach, the practice chart and the mic check, and what each measures.

4. Your shadow week

   Charting alongside your assistant while Mesio writes nothing.

5. Getting your chart to Mesio

   Three ways, depending on your practice system.

6. Reading the agreement report

   Five minutes at the end of the day, and how to judge a disagreement.

7. When Mesio mishears

   What catches a misheard word before it can become a wrong number.

8. A second pair of hands, or a second listen

   Assist mode while you chart; the rerun afterwards.

9. Graduating to live

   The line, the switch, and the two weeks after it.

How a procedure gets its code, and how a plan gets built, priced and presented to the patient.

1. How Mesio picks a code

   Rules first. Where a model helps, and the hard limit on it.

2. Where a procedure goes, and why it changes the code

   Which tooth, which surface, and why your words beat the chart.

3. Why one sentence becomes three procedures

   One clinical act, several billable lines.

4. Editing a pill, and teaching your phrases

   Why your correction outranks everything Mesio infers.

5. What each tier includes

   Three tiers that never differ on treating active disease.

6. Presenting the plan

   What the patient sees, and what the record keeps.

What a patient owes before they sit down, and how to make that number match your own book.

1. How the estimate is built

   The four sources behind it, and why it is sometimes blank.

2. Turning eligibility on

   Your NPI, your zip, and enough identity to find the patient.

3. Which carriers you are in network with

   Ten minutes that changes every out-of-network estimate.

4. Reading a coverage pill

   What the color means, the clock behind it, and what to do about yellow.

5. Verified, Estimate, Rough

   What each label lets you say to the patient.

6. Teaching Mesio what your carriers pay you

   What it reads, what leaves the practice, and what improves.

7. Your fee schedule, and what Mesio does not do

   The ten-minute upload, and where Mesio stops.

The morning huddle, the day's coverage, and the work that used to take until lunch.

1. Getting today's schedule in

   Three ways, in order of effort.

2. Sync today

   One pass down the day's book, and who it could not do.

3. The prep list

   Who Mesio cannot act on yet, and how the list clears itself.

4. Insurance, captured as you work

   Mesio reads the pages you already opened, and offers them back.

5. The outbox

   Every write, entered or refused, and why Entered is not Saved.

Getting Mesio into the software you already use, whatever that software is.

1. Will it work with mine?

   Four routes in, and why the last one always works.

2. Installing the Bridge

   One office computer, a one-time key, a couple of minutes.

3. Installing the browser extension

   One click, one sign-in, and deliberately narrow permissions.

4. Teaching Mesio your system

   It learns the shape of the screen, never what is written on it.

5. What writes back, and when

   Mesio enters. A person saves. On every route.

6. No integration? Start anyway

   The route that needs nothing from your software.

Seats, roles, rolling it out to your team, and running more than one location.

1. Who sees what

   Set per person, bounded by the practice, open until you tighten it.

2. Seats and billing

   One seat per dentist. Everyone else is free.

3. Rolling it out to the team

   Who to start with, and what only the owner can do.

4. More than one location

   Two shapes of multi-site, and what is shared in each.

Where recordings go, what gets signed before one starts, and what happens when a patient asks.

1. What happens to a recording

   Where audio goes, and who decides how long it stays.

2. The agreement, and what is never used for training

   Enforced in the software, not just filed.

3. The record holds

   What signing locks, and a log that outlives the record.

4. When a patient asks

   Why they ask you, not Mesio.

1. Mesio always has a way in

   Four routes into your practice system, and why the last one needs nothing from your software.

2. How the estimate is built

   The four sources behind it, in the order they are tried.

3. Why Mesio would rather say nothing

   A carrier it will not guess at, a patient it will not pick, a number it will not invent.

4. Enter, never save

   Mesio types into your system; you review and sign. Why that boundary does not move.

5. Where the coding rules come from

   Why every coding rule can be traced back to the source it came from.

6. Why perio is the hard part

   Why one missed number matters more here than anywhere else in the chart.
