Case Study: Pacific Dental Services avoids $3.3M in IRS fines and improves vendor compliance with Fraud.net

Dental Support Organization Improves Compliance While Decreasing Fraud Risks

Pacific Dental Services, an Inc. 5000 company supporting over 850 offices across 26 states, faced a backlog of more than 6,000 vendors that left it exposed to vendor-based fraud and potential IRS compliance fines. To rapidly vet and de-risk its third-party roster, Pacific Dental engaged Fraud.net and its AI-powered Know-Your-Vendor (KYV) platform.

Fraud.net ingested Pacific Dental’s vendor list and instantly flagged unregistered TINs and vendors with no IRS records, identifying 25 high-risk vendors and enabling cleanup of the supplier base. The Fraud.net solution significantly reduced manual review time, improved onboarding and pre-audit readiness, and helped Pacific Dental avoid an estimated $3.3 million in potential IRS fines.
