Basic Workflow:

  2. Use Open Dental's Accounts Receivable Manager to identify overdue accounts and send them to TSI.
  3. Once sent, TSI will manage all billing and collection activity for the account. Any transactions entered in Open Dental (e.g., payments, charges) will be sent to TSI on a regular basis using the OpenDentalService.
