Our story

Built so you don't leave $1,400 on the table.

"I'm a dentist. Several of my colleagues practice at border clinics in Mexico that treat US patients every week. We see this problem all the time — excellent dental work, legitimate insurance coverage, and patients walking away from money their PPO actually owed them. Credimed exists to fix that."

The problem

Half of all eligible refunds go unclaimed.

Every year, US insurance holders pay out of pocket for dental work in Mexico — and most of them are entitled to partial reimbursement from their PPO. They just don't know it, or the process is too painful to bother.

~50%

of US dental work performed in Mexico goes unclaimed against US PPO insurance plans.

Our approach

Three steps. Done for you, not by you.

We strip the process down to what actually matters: a clean, code-correct claim filed with your insurer. No commissions, no skimming — just one fee, paid once.

01

You upload your receipts.

Snap a photo of your Mexican dental bill — Spanish is fine. Tell us your insurer and your member ID. That's it.

~3 minutes
02

We prepare the claim.

A specialist translates, itemizes, maps each procedure to the right CDT code, and files the claim with your insurer on your behalf.

Filed within 48 hours
03

Your insurer pays you.

The check goes directly to you — we never touch your money. If the claim is denied, you pay nothing beyond the submission fee.

Why I built this.

I'm a dentist, and several of my colleagues practice at border-area clinics in Mexico — places where US patients come every week for affordable, high-quality dental care.

Through them I've seen the same pattern over and over: a patient pays $1,500-$2,500 out of pocket for crowns or a root canal, then files an out-of-network reimbursement claim with their PPO, and ends up walking away with nothing or pennies on the dollar. Not because the work wasn't covered — but because the claim wasn't filed in the format the insurer wanted. One wrong CDT code (D2750 vs D2740 — porcelain-fused-to-metal vs porcelain crown), a missing field on the factura, an exchange-rate dispute. Six months and four rejections to recover $1,200 of $2,600.

It's a paperwork problem disguised as a coverage problem. The dentists do excellent work; the patients pay for it legitimately; and the insurance covers it on paper. After watching this happen too many times, I built Credimed to support both sides — file the claim correctly the first time, or you don't pay.

Credimed exists because the process shouldn't be that hard. We don't take a cut of your refund. We don't lock you into anything. We just file the claim correctly the first time — or you don't pay.

Don't leave it on the table.

Most claims clear $600–$1,500. Our fee starts at $19 and is set by claim complexity. Takes about three minutes to start.
