ABOUT US

AirPay removes the confusion, stress, and administrative burden of dental insurance verification to improve patient experiences and operational efficiency.

OUR STORY

Our founder, Dr. Derek Giddon, practiced dentistry in Downtown Brooklyn for 10 years, where he saw firsthand the administrative burden on staff from insurance verification, claims, and payments. Frustrated by the stress on both patients and team members, he envisioned a better software solution. He teamed up with Daniel Horowitz, our CTO, whose expertise in data-focused software and the dental industry, aligned perfectly with Derek’s vision. Together, they created AirPay to simplify and automate dental practice workflows.
