Evidence behind DenQAI · register v2026.07.15

See what each source supports—and what it cannot prove.

Search by topic, place, issuer, or claim. Every record states the claim, scope, exclusions, source kind, support relationship, authority, commercial-interest treatment, review date, and reviewer. A current public source can still be the wrong source for a specific address, entity, patient group, contract, or transaction.

How to read a source record

Source present does not mean decision proven.

Start with “what this supports” and “what it does not prove.” Then check how the source relates to this exact claim, what authority it carries, where and when it applies, and who must recheck it.

Source kind

Who created the record and what kind of record it is.

Support relationship

Whether the source directly, partially, or only contextually supports this claim.

Authority and limits

Binding law, official guidance, professional guidance, research, experience, and opinion are not interchangeable.

Recency

Source date, reviewed-on date, effective period, and next-review date remain separate.

Why instrument reprocessing is modeled as trained, protected dental-practice work

Why a public workbench must not store payment-card data

Within review date

The PCI Security Standards Council publishes security standards for payment account data; DenQAI therefore excludes card data and payment credentials from its public operating workbench and routes actual payment workflows to the practice’s provider, acquirer, and qualified reviewers.

What this source supports

Reason to exclude payment-account data from the public tool and require a governed payment environment

Why an associate agreement label does not by itself determine federal worker classification

Within review date

The IRS directs businesses to examine behavioral control, financial control, and the parties’ relationship when distinguishing an employee from an independent contractor; DenQAI therefore does not infer classification from a contract label or compensation percentage.

What this source supports

Federal IRS classification factors and the need to evaluate the complete relationship

What it does not prove

A classification conclusion, wage-law analysis, state tests, professional-entity law, benefits, payroll treatment, contract drafting, or enforcement prediction

Where it applies

United States; federal employment-tax classification. Method only.

Who should recheck it

Qualified employment counsel and tax advisor in the applicable jurisdiction

What an NPI establishes—and what still requires payer-specific confirmation before an associate starts

Within review date

CMS describes the NPI as the standard unique identifier used in covered transactions; an NPI does not by itself establish enrollment, participation, an effective date, the correct entity and location relationship, or claim configuration for a particular payer product.

What this source supports

NPI purpose in covered transactions and the boundary between identification and payer readiness

What it does not prove

Licensure, malpractice coverage, DEA requirements, payer enrollment, participation, fee schedule, roster, billing/rendering setup, effective date, or payment outcome

Where it applies

Whether the amended 2024 federal Negative Option Rule remains in effect

Review due in 24 days

The amended 2024 Negative Option Rule was vacated by the Eighth Circuit on July 8, 2025; the Federal Trade Commission opened a new advance notice of proposed rulemaking in March 2026. The new proceeding is not a final rule.

What this source supports

Federal status of the vacated 2024 amendment and the existence of the 2026 rulemaking inquiry

What it does not prove

State automatic-renewal law, contract obligations, fact-specific consumer-protection analysis, final outcome of the rulemaking, or legal advice

Whether the 2024 federal independent-contractor rule is a timeless current test

Review due in 24 days

The U.S. Department of Labor proposed in February 2026 to rescind and replace its 2024 independent-contractor rule and states that it is not applying the 2024 rule in investigations. Classification still requires current federal and state review of the actual relationship.

What this source supports

What an NPI establishes in a payer transition

Within review date

CMS describes the NPI as a unique 10-digit identifier used for health care providers in HIPAA standard transactions and states that it does not carry information such as geographic location or specialty; DenQAI therefore does not treat an NPI as payer credentialing, contracting, enrollment, participation, effective-date, or payment evidence.

What this source supports

NPI purpose, format, persistence, and information boundary

What it does not prove

Licensure, credentialing, contracting, payer enrollment, network participation, billing permission, effective date, fee schedule, or payment outcome

What the ADA credentialing service establishes—and what it does not

Within review date

ADA explains that its credentialing service helps dentists share credential information with authorized participating plans and distinguishes profile completion and attestation from the plans' downstream actions; DenQAI therefore tracks credentialing profile status separately from a contract, payer enrollment, effective date, directory listing, claim configuration, and first paid claim.

What this source supports

Credentialing profile preparation, attestation, plan authorization, and service-use boundaries

What it does not prove

A particular payer's approval, contract, enrollment, participation, effective date, processing time, fee terms, claim acceptance, or payment

Why payer participation agreements require document-level review

Within review date

ADA states that a signed participating-provider agreement creates legally binding promises and urges dentists to review the contract carefully and consult counsel; DenQAI therefore separates contract terms, policies, amendment rights, network path, notices, and remedies from credentialing or payer-brand assumptions.

What this source supports

General binding-contract and review principles for participating-provider agreements

What it does not prove

Interpretation of a particular agreement, state law, enforceability, amendment validity, termination right, remedy, network status, or legal opinion

Where it applies

United States; general dental payer-contract education. Method only.

Why the visible payer or administrator may not identify the pricing network

Within review date

ADA's network-leasing guide explains that a dental network may be made available to another insurer or third-party administrator; DenQAI therefore maps payer, administrator, product, network source, applicable agreement, fee source, notice, and opt-out or termination questions separately.

What this source supports

General network-leasing mechanism and need to trace the applicable relationship

What it does not prove

A particular network relationship, applicable fee schedule, notice sufficiency, opt-out right, state-law protection, contract interpretation, or legal conclusion

Why eligibility verification does not close the payment question

Within review date

ADA explains that payer eligibility information can be incomplete or corrected retroactively and recommends documenting the verification interaction; DenQAI therefore keeps eligibility evidence, service period, claim adjudication, later payment event, cash mechanism, and dispute path separate.

What this source supports

Eligibility-information limitations and the value of dated documentation

What it does not prove

Final eligibility, coverage, authorization, patient liability, repayment duty, offset right, appeal right, contract interpretation, or legal conclusion

Whether preauthorization and predetermination are interchangeable or guarantee payment

Within review date

ADA explains that dental preauthorization and predetermination can be distinct processes and that estimated benefits may still depend on eligibility and remaining benefits at the time of service; DenQAI therefore labels the processes separately and never presents either as a payment guarantee.

What this source supports

General distinction between preauthorization and predetermination and payment limitations

What it does not prove

A particular plan's terminology, authorization requirement, benefit, eligibility, patient responsibility, payment outcome, contract duty, or state-law conclusion

Where it applies

When a review date has passed

Overdue means recheck—not automatically false.

Do not silently renew it

Keep the old effective period visible until a replacement source is reviewed.

Recheck at the right level

Statewide facts may need a state notice, county record, city rule, contract, or target file.

Record the replacement

Preserve the old claim ID, add the superseding source, and state what decision changed.

Escalate the reviewer

Tax, legal, clinical, payer, lending, privacy, and valuation claims require the appropriate human reviewer.
