Comparison · Lassie facts checked Oct 13, 2026Owedex vs Lassie
Lassie and Owedex both work on the insurance side of a dental office, and they lead with different jobs. Lassie automates the admin: posting insurance payments into your practice software, enrollments and reconciling payments to the bank. Owedex finds the money insurers still owe you, drafts the fix for you to approve, and follows each insurer dollar to the bank.

Side by side
Rows are the things only Owedex does, plus price and who each works for. Lassie's column holds only what its own website says, with the page it came from, checked Oct 13, 2026.
| Owedex | Lassie | |
|---|---|---|
| Paid below your contract or the insurer's usual amount | Every payment line is checked against your PPO fee schedule or, where you have no contracted fee, against what that insurer usually pays you for the same code, and the request to reprocess is drafted for you to approve. | Not listed on their site (checked Oct 13, 2026) |
| Money taken back, traced and challenged | Each take-back is traced to its claim and the earlier payment; for Texas offices Owedex counts the 180 days the insurer has to send written notice and the 45 days you have to object, and drafts the objection (Texas Insurance Code §1451.206, verify). | Not listed on their site (checked Oct 13, 2026) |
| Paid vs posted vs deposited, every insurer dollar | For each insurer, what its payment files say it paid, what you marked posted and what reached your bank, with every difference named: not posted, card fees, short in the deposit, never arrived. | Yes, bank reconciliation: “Reconciles payments against bank account”, and posts payments into your practice software (source 1) (source 2) |
| Card and check fees, and the fee-free letter | Card fees are counted only when your bank deposits prove them, paper-check weeks from your own payments, and one click drafts the letter asking for fee-free direct deposit, citing Texas law for Texas offices (verify). | Lists free EFT enrollment in its guide's comparison table; card-fee totals and a fee-free payment letter are not listed on their site (checked Oct 13, 2026) (source) |
| The owner's Monday 9 AM email | Every Monday at 9 AM office time the owner gets money recovered, what each insurer still owes, take-backs to object to and what's due this week, with the same numbers as the app and no patient information. | Not listed on their site (checked Oct 13, 2026) |
| Letters that learn what wins at each insurer | Owedex learns from your own answered letters which evidence wins, per insurer and denial, and warns you before you send a letter without what it usually needs. | Says it can “manage denials”; learning which evidence wins per insurer is not listed on their site (checked Oct 13, 2026) (source) |
| Pricing | Published: 30-day pilot at 25% of recovered money, then $299 per location per month | No price on the pages we read (checked Oct 13, 2026); the site offers “a 30-minute demo” (source) |
| Who it works for | Independent dental offices and the billing companies that serve them; no insurer customers or investors | Dental practices; its guide names “Independent practices on Dentrix, Eaglesoft, or Open Dental” (source) |
What only Owedex does

- Money taken back, traced to the claim. Each take-back is traced to its claim and the earlier payment; for Texas offices Owedex counts the 180 days the insurer has to send written notice and the 45 days you have to object, and drafts the objection (Texas Insurance Code §1451.206, verify).
- Paid, posted and in the bank: one page. For each insurer, what its payment files say it paid, what you marked posted and what reached your bank, with every difference named: not posted, card fees, short in the deposit, never arrived.

Questions
Is Owedex a Lassie alternative?
They lead with different jobs, so many offices could use both. Lassie automates payment posting, enrollments and bank reconciliation. Owedex finds what insurers still owe a dental office (payments below your contract or the insurer's usual amount, money taken back, denials worth working), drafts each fix for a person to approve, and follows the money to the bank.
Where is Lassie stronger?
Posting insurance payments into Dentrix, Open Dental or Eaglesoft without exports or uploads, setting up enrollments, and filing secondary claims for Open Dental offices. Owedex does not post into your practice software; its Post payments sheet shows what to key in, line by line.
Where is Owedex different?
Checking every payment line against your PPO fee schedule or the insurer's own usual amount, tracing money taken back with Texas's 180-day notice and 45-day objection window (verify), counting card fees your bank deposits prove, the owner's Monday 9 AM email, and letters that learn which evidence wins at each insurer.
