Dr. Redact for Dental
Release patient records without releasing PHI
In most practices, records releases land on the office manager's desk between check-ins: attorney requests, insurance audits, specialist referrals, and transition due diligence. Charts, EOBs, and day sheets are dense with PHI, and one missed chart number in a release is a reportable HIPAA incident for the practice — not the requester.

How dental teams use Dr. Redact
Attorney and insurer records requests
A personal-injury attorney needs one patient's treatment history — not the guarantor's employer, the spouse's phone number, or the day sheet's other forty patients. The office manager uploads the release set, reviews what the engine flagged, and sends it out with the certificate filed in the compliance binder.
Practice transition due diligence
Our founder spent 16 years in dental — consulting practices on software, imaging, and HIPAA/OSHA training — and then brokered transitions where buyers received production reports with patient names left in. Diligence needs production, collections, and payer mix; it never needs a single chart number.
OSHA and employee records
Exposure incidents, injury logs, and personnel files carry staff Social Security numbers and health details that have nothing to do with the inspector's or requester's question. The same review-and-burn pass that protects patients protects the team.
Common questions from dental
Does Dr. Redact sign a BAA with dental practices?
Yes — a BAA is available on every paid plan and executes electronically. Built by someone who spent 16 years training dental teams on HIPAA, so the paperwork works the way a practice actually runs.
Can I redact paper day sheets or charts without a scanner?
Yes. Photograph the pages with your phone directly on the website — no app to install — and handwritten entries, signatures, and chart numbers are detected for your review like any typed text.
What does a transition buyer see after redaction?
Production, collections, payer mix, and scheduling density — the economics of the practice — with patient identities, chart numbers, and guarantor details permanently removed and an audit certificate documenting the scrub.
