Does Solara work for dental practices in Wisconsin?
Yes. Solara is cloud software, so a practice anywhere in Wisconsin uses it the same way: it works with your existing phone line and syncs with OpenDental. There is no hardware to install and no technical setup on your side.
Practices in the Central time zone get the same 24/7 coverage. Solara answers every call, including after hours, at lunch and when the line is busy, and can book the patient straight into the schedule.
Can a dental practice record patient calls in Wisconsin?
Wisconsin is a one-party consent state for phone calls: a recording is generally lawful when at least one person on the call consents. The rule comes from Wis. Stat. § 968.31.
Wisconsin requires only one party's consent to record a call. Recordings made for a criminal or tortious purpose are excluded, and unlawful recording can bring civil damages.
Solara records and transcribes every call. Even where one-party consent applies, many practices announce recording in their greeting, and because you write the greeting yourself, that takes one line.
This is general information, not legal advice. Confirm your obligations with counsel familiar with the law in your state.
Can Solara answer patients' questions about Wisconsin Medicaid and BadgerCare Plus?
Yes, if your practice accepts it. Solara answers coverage questions from the carriers, plan types and payment options you configure in settings, so adding Wisconsin Medicaid and BadgerCare Plus to your accepted plans lets the AI receptionist answer patients consistently, in your words.
For coverage checks, Solara verifies eligibility and benefits with your configured carriers at intake, so the result is on the chart before the visit.
Who licenses dentists in Wisconsin?
Dentists and dental hygienists in Wisconsin are licensed by the Wisconsin Dentistry Examining Board. The board's rules, together with HIPAA, govern how a practice handles patient records and communications.
Solara supports that with a signed Business Associate Agreement for every practice, encryption of patient data in transit and at rest, US data residency, and an audit log of every access to protected health information.
How much does Solara cost for a Wisconsin dental practice?
Pricing is the same in every state. Essentials is $179 per month, or $149 per month billed annually, and Pro is $399 per month, or $349 per month billed annually. Enterprise is custom-priced for multi-location dental groups.
