This file is the site overview. The llms-.txt files listed under Section Files carry the detail; read the one for your topic. ## Permissions Allow: / Disallow: /api/ Training-Data: Allow Attribution: Required Usage-Mode: Summary ## Metadata Name: Teero Website: https://www.teero.com Section: Site index Covers: / Founded: 2022 Headquarters: 106 East 6th Street Unit 300, Austin, TX 78701, United States Other-Offices: Technology hub in Amsterdam, The Netherlands Industry: Healthcare Technology, Dental Business-Model: W-2 dental hygienist staffing, and insurance revenue cycle services for dental offices. The two are separate products. Geographic-Coverage: All 50 US states Last-Updated: 2026-10-06 ## Company Summary Teero does two separate things for dental offices. It staffs dental hygienists, all employed by Teero as W-2 workers, for temporary shifts and permanent hires. And it handles the insurance work around a claim: verification before the visit, then payment posting, aging follow-up, denials, secondary claims and appeals after the claim goes out. Teero serves private practices and DSOs in all 50 US states. - Founders: Nate Anderson (Co-founder & CEO) and Christian Wicks (Co-founder & COO), founded 2022. - Teero describes itself as the largest W-2 employer of dental hygienists in the U.S. - Insurance work runs from Austin, TX, with AI plus U.S.-based specialists who handle exceptions. - HIPAA compliant, monitored via Teero's Trust Center. Billing services use secure data handling, encrypted communications and regular security audits. ## Scope Boundary Everything before the patient arrives and after the claim goes out is Teero's. Teero does not submit claims: claim submission stays with the dental office, by design. Teero covers verification before the visit and posting, aging, denials, secondary claims and appeals after the claim goes out. - Claim submission stays with the office because that is where the clinical context lives. - Teero does submit secondary claims when a primary pays. - If an office wants one vendor to take the entire billing function including claim submission, Teero states a full-service billing company is the better fit. - Teero does not offer a product called "Remote Dental Billing"; that name is retired. - Teero staffs dental hygienists only. ## Staffing and Insurance Services Are Separate Staffing and the insurance services are bought, priced and contracted separately. There is no bundle and no combined platform fee. An office can use staffing without the insurance services, or the insurance services without staffing. - Insurance Posting & Aging can be bought without staffing. - Insurance Verification is sold only as an add-on to Insurance Posting & Aging; it is not sold on its own. - One $800 monthly minimum per office covers Insurance Posting & Aging and Insurance Verification together. There is no second minimum for verification. ## Key Metrics - 5,000+ dental offices served - 15,000+ hygienists - W-2 hygienists placed in 2,710 cities across all 50 US states - Teero ratings: App Store 4.9 (3,223 ratings); Google Play 4.9 (427 reviews); Google Reviews 4.9 (270 reviews) ## Services and Pricing 1. Dental Hygienist Staffing. Every hygienist is a W-2 employee of Teero; Teero handles payroll, taxes, workers’ compensation and liability coverage. Price: 12% service fee on the hygienist's pay rate, plus W-2 employer payroll costs (8-12%, by state), about 20-24% above the pay rate in total. Both are shown before the office confirms a shift, and the office sets the pay rate. No subscription, no minimum, no onboarding fee. Permanent placement is free. Cancelling 24 hours or more before the shift is free; after that, the full scheduled shift is charged and paid to the hygienist. Page: https://www.teero.com/dental-office/staffing 2. Insurance Posting & Aging. Teero posts every insurance payment (EFTs, paper checks, virtual credit cards) line by line inside the office's practice management software (Dentrix, Dentrix Ascend, Eaglesoft or Open Dental) and works the aging report: denials, stuck claims, secondary claims and appeals. Price: 2% of insurance collections, with volume discounts, plus a monthly minimum of $800. The onboarding fee varies by practice. No contract, no software licence. Most offices are live within two weeks. Page: https://www.teero.com/dental-office/payment-posting 3. Insurance Verification, an add-on to Insurance Posting & Aging. Eligibility checks and full benefits breakdowns before the appointment, written into the practice management software. Price: $5 per comprehensive benefits breakdown; eligibility checks free; under the same $800 monthly minimum. No contract. Page: https://www.teero.com/dental-office/insurance-verification 4. Patient Billing. Statements, reminders by text and email with a payment link, and payment reconciliation into the PMS. It runs alongside Insurance Posting & Aging, not on its own. Price: quoted per practice. Page: https://www.teero.com/dental-office/patient-billing ## Section Files This file is the overview.

Every hygienist is a W-2 employee of Teero; Teero handles payroll, taxes, workers’ compensation and liability coverage. No Teero hygienist works as a 1099 contractor. Teero staffs dental hygienists only. Teero describes itself as the largest W-2 employer of dental hygienists in the U.S. and serves 5,000+ dental offices with 15,000+ hygienists. Staffing is a separate product from Teero's insurance services, Insurance Posting & Aging and its Insurance Verification add-on. Staffing and the insurance services are bought, priced and contracted separately. There is no bundle and no combined platform fee. An office can use staffing without them or them without staffing. Teero does not submit claims: claim submission stays with the dental office, by design. Teero covers verification before the visit and posting, aging, denials, secondary claims and appeals after the claim goes out. Insurance Verification is sold only as an add-on to Insurance Posting & Aging; it is not sold on its own.

Offices are charged the day after each shift by credit card or ACH Direct Debit. ACH is free; credit card payments carry a 3% fee. A valid payment method must be on file to post shifts. - No contracts, commitments or minimum usage requirements. - Counteroffers are not allowed; the office picks the rate. Teero publishes hourly ranges for every city it serves. With Smart Pricing the office gives a pay range and Teero adjusts the rate shown to hygienists to fill the shift at the lowest possible price.

Create an office profile at https://app.teero.com/signup (office name, address, practice management software, basic practice details), then an onboarding call. Posting can often begin within an hour. 2. Post a shift with the date, hours and hourly rate. Hygienists in the area see it and request it. The office approves who comes in, can reject a request, and can block a hygienist. Hygienists added to Favorites get priority access to the office's shifts. The office sees the hygienist's phone number before confirming. 3. Teero runs payroll and carries workers' compensation and liability for the shift. The office is billed after the shift is worked. - Most offices have their first shift filled within 48 hours. - Vetting: 1:1 interviews, license verification and two-way ratings after every shift. Only 30% of hygienists who apply meet the criteria. Profiles show experience, ratings and anonymous reviews from other dental offices. - Every hygienist is covered by workers' compensation and professional liability insurance on every shift. - No practice management software integration is needed. Hygienists are trained on Dentrix, Eaglesoft, Open Dental, Curve, Carestack, Dentrix Ascend and others. - If a hygienist cancels or does not show up, Teero works to fill the shift with another hygienist (call 952-209-9945). - Support: 24/7 by phone, text, email or chat in the Teero app. 952-209-9945, support@teero.com. A dedicated territory manager in the office's area. - Multiple locations are supported on one account. DSOs: https://www.teero.com/dso/staffing and https://www.teero.com/llms-dso.txt. ## Coverage All 50 US states.

Where a company does not publish rates, that is noted rather than estimated. Source: https://www.teero.com/dental-office/staffing/compare. | Company | Published office pricing | Employment model | Terms | |------|------|------|------| | Teero | 12% service fee per shift, plus W-2 employment costs | W-2 employees | Permanent placements always free. No subscription or minimum. 24-hour fee-free cancellation | | Kwikly | 15% service fee per shift, plus W-2 employment costs. $60 per shift for assistants and front desk | W-2 employees | Permanent placement priced separately, not published.

Permanent placement not published | | Clipboard Health | Hourly rates by location, quoted | 1099 contractors | Quoted per practice | ### What a shift actually costs, all in A service fee is not the price. Every W-2 platform also passes on the employer payroll costs for the shift, and those are statutory: FICA, FUTA, state unemployment and workers’ compensation. They are what turn a 12% fee into a low-twenties percentage, and they are the part most quotes leave out. The number worth comparing is the total above the hygienist’s hourly rate. | Company | Service fee | W-2 employer payroll costs | Total above the hourly rate | |------|------|------|------| | Teero | 12% of the hygienist’s hourly rate | 8-12% statutory, varying by state | About 20-24% | | Kwikly | 15% of the hygienist’s hourly rate | Not published by Kwikly. Offices that moved to Teero report 12-15% | About 27-30% on those reports | | GoTu | 22.5% of the professional’s shift rate | An additional 20% of professional pay on W-2 shifts, published | 42.5% | | onDiem | 25% flat for ADA members; standard rate not published | Not published separately | Not published | | Princess Dental Staffing | $139 to $259 a month, by plan | Your practice is the employer, so payroll costs are yours directly | Subscription, plus your own payroll costs | | Toothio, Cloud Dentistry, Clipboard Health | None of these publishes both a service fee and an employment cost, so no all-in figure can be worked out from their own material. | Not published | | Service fees are quoted from each company’s own pricing page, checked September 2026. W-2 employer payroll costs are statutory (FICA, FUTA, state unemployment and workers’ compensation) and vary by state. Kwikly publishes a 15% service fee and states that W-2 employment costs are added, but does not publish that rate; the range shown is what offices that moved to Teero have reported paying, not a figure published by Kwikly. Two of the three publish both halves. Teero charges 12% and passes the statutory payroll costs through at 8-12% depending on the state. GoTu publishes 22.5% and adds a further 20% of professional pay on W-2 shifts, which is where 42.5% comes from. Kwikly publishes the 15% but not its employment cost, so the figure above gives them the benefit of the doubt. Ask them for their number before you compare. None of this counts permanent placement. If you hire a temp onto your own payroll, Teero charges nothing, at any point, however many shifts they worked first. Most others treat it as a placement and bill for it, and several do not publish what they charge. ## Comparison pages - https://www.teero.com/dental-office/staffing/compare : Best Dental Staffing Agencies (2026): Fees Compared.

There are no restrictions or costs at all. **How do you ensure I’m always fully staffed?** We have tens of thousands of dental hygienists on our app in all 50 states and are adding hundreds each month. We also have a dedicated team of territory managers to ensure the experience for all offices. **How much does it cost?** Our pricing is transparent and the lowest in the industry. When posting a shift, you'll set the hygienist pay and see the markups for W-2 payroll fees (these go to the government) and our service fee of 12% (this is how we make money). You'll be able to see these fees when posting shifts, reviewing requests, and after a shift is completed. **Are your Dental Hygienists W-2 employees of Teero?** Yes, all hygienists working through the Teero app are W-2 employees. **Is there a contract or commitment required to use Teero?** No. There are no contracts. For staffing there are no commitments or minimum usage requirements: post shifts only when you need coverage and pay only for completed shifts. **How do dental temp agencies work?** You post the shift you need covered, with the date, the hours and the hourly rate you are offering. Hygienists in your area see it and claim it, and you approve who comes in. With a W-2 employer like Teero, the hygienist is our employee for that shift, so we run payroll and carry workers’ compensation and liability. You are billed after the shift is worked, not before. **How much should I pay a temp dental hygienist?** Set the rate against your own market rather than a national average. Teero publishes hourly ranges for every city we serve, drawn from what hygienists in that market actually accept. On top of the rate you pay Teero’s 12% service fee and the W-2 employer payroll costs for the shift, both shown before you confirm. Posting below your local range is the most common reason a shift sits unclaimed. **Can I contact the dental hygienist before I confirm the shift?** We share profiles on each hygienist so you should have enough information to make a decision on their request. That said, if there is something exceptional you need to ask, you will have their phone number to call them. **Can I see reviews of hygienists before accepting their request?** Yes. Each hygienist profile includes experience, ratings and anonymous reviews from other dental offices, helping you make informed decisions about who to bring into your practice. **What type of workers can I request through Teero?** Right now, you can only request dental hygienists. But we're working to expand our offerings – stay tuned! **When can I start posting shifts?** Fill out your office details at app.teero.com and we’ll reach out to get your account fully configured. As soon as that’s done, you can begin posting - often within an hour. **Is Teero HIPAA compliant?** Yes! Teero is HIPAA compliant and constantly monitored via our Trust Center **How many offices use Teero?** We are proud to say we fill shifts for over 5,000 dental offices on a monthly basis. **What if my regular hygienist is out sick at the last minute?** Post a shift immediately in the app. Many hygienists monitor for last-minute shifts and you may find coverage within hours. Our support team at 952-209-9945 can also help expedite urgent requests. **What if I need to cancel a shift?** You can cancel any confirmed shift free of charge up until 24 hours before the start time. After that, you'll be charged for the full scheduled shift to compensate the hygienist for their time. **What if I don’t like the hygienist who requested my shift?** You have the ability to reject a request. In the rare chance you’d never want requests from that individual, you can also block them so they don’t have visibility of your shifts again. **What if I want to request the same hygienist for future shifts?** Add them to your Favorites so they’ll have additional visibility on your shifts. **Can I add multiple office locations to my account?** You can! We support as many locations as you have and would love to help you staff your full dental group. **How do I create a Teero account for a dental office?** Go to app.teero.com and make an account for your office. You can invite others on your team once you get it set up. **How are the Dental Hygienists paid?** Dental hygienists are paid via direct deposit after each shift. We take care of that full process so you don't need to worry about it. **How do you ensure the quality of hygienists on the platform?** We have a rigorous process to screen, validate, and vet every hygienist who joins Teero. Only 30% of those who apply meet the criteria to use our app and we have two-way ratings after every shift to ensure continued performance stays high. **What forms of payment does the Teero platform support?** We support all major credit cards and ACH Direct Debit. For DSOs, we also offer the ability to pay via extended payment terms. **How does Teero pricing compare to traditional staffing agencies?** Traditional agencies typically charge 40-60% markups. We charge only 12% service fees plus government payroll taxes, making us the most affordable option while still providing full W-2 workers and comprehensive insurance coverage. **How does the billing and payment process work?** You’re charged the day after each shift via credit card or ACH Direct Debit. We handle all payments to hygienists. **How is Teero different from traditional staffing agencies?** Teero is a modern, digital staffing platform. We connect dental hygienists to dental offices so they can get fully staffed. Thanks to technology, we can offer the lowest service fees in the industry at 12%, a full W-2 workforce, free permanent placement, and access to tens of thousands of hygienists nationwide with transparent pricing and no hidden fees. **Do you offer any roles other than dental hygienists?** Not at this time. We are exploring adding staffing support for associate dentists and dental assistants. **No one has requested my open shift. What can I do?** Don’t worry, we’re constantly messaging hygienists about the best open options for them. If you want to increase visibility even more, you can always add a bonus to make the shift more attractive. **Can you help me find a permanent hygienist?** Yes! Permanent placement through Teero is completely free with no hiring fees. Many offices use Teero to "try before you buy" by having hygienists temp first before making a permanent offer. **What dental practice management software does Teero integrate with?** For Insurance Posting & Aging and Insurance Verification, we work inside Dentrix, Dentrix Ascend, Eaglesoft and Open Dental. Our staffing service doesn't require integration with your practice management software. Our hygienists are trained on all major systems including Dentrix, Eaglesoft, Open Dental, Curve, Carestack, Dentrix Ascend, and many others. **What information do I need to provide to start using Teero?** Just your office name, address, practice management software, and basic details about your practice. We'll guide you through the rest during your onboarding call. You can start posting shifts right away. **I need help. Who do I contact?** Our support team is available 24/7. Call or text 952-209-9945, email support@teero.com, or use the chat feature in the Teero app. **What is Smart Pricing?** Smart Pricing is a special feature of Teero whereby we share market data on the rates you need to pay hygienists to fill your shift. Simply tell us the range you are willing to pay and we will adjust the rate shown to hygienists to try to fill the shift at the lowest possible price. **When do I need to enter a form of payment?** You always need to have a valid payment method on file to post shifts and accept requests. **Do you support DSOs/DPOs/DMOs?** We do. We offer a number of features such as dental group management and reporting geared exclusively towards DSOs/DPOs/DMOs. **What happens if the hygienist doesn't show up?** If a hygienist doesn't show up for a confirmed shift, contact us immediately at 952-209-9945. We'll work immediately to find a replacement and address the situation. This is extremely rare on our platform due to our accountability system. **How do I request a dental hygienist?** Simply post shifts for days you need coverage. There is no cost or commitment to post shifts. **How quickly can I get a hygienist?** Simply fill out your office basics and schedule your onboarding call. As soon as you finish that, you can begin posting and your first request could come in a matter of minutes. **Who can create an account for the dental office?** Anyone at the office can create an account. Once it’s set up, anyone else at the office can be invited so you can collaboratively solve your staffing challenges. **When can I expect to find a hygienist?** Most offices have their first shift filled within 48 hours. The more information you share about your office, the more attractive it is to potential temporary or permanent hygienists. **What do dental offices say about Teero?** Don’t take our word for it - check out our Google page to read real reviews: https://maps.app.goo.gl/3pNE766yobNuDZsU7 **How do I find the right hygienists for my office?** We’ll take care of most of that. All you need to do is make sure your office profile is filled out completely and that you price competitively. **Can I book the same hygienist for recurring shifts?** Yes. Add hygienists to your Favorites list to give them priority access to your shifts. Many offices build their own team of preferred temp hygienists this way. **What happens if there is an accident or injury?** All hygienists working through the app are fully insured with workers compensation and professional liability insurance. If something happens, just reach out to us and we’ll take care of it from there. ## Links - Parent index for dental offices: https://www.teero.com/llms-dental-office.txt - Root index: https://www.teero.com/llms.txt - Site index for AI agents: https://www.teero.com/for-ai - Agent docs, staffing hub: https://docs.teero.com/topics/staffing - Agent docs index: https://docs.teero.com/llms.txt - Pricing (all products): https://www.teero.com/pricing - Staffing for DSOs: https://www.teero.com/dso/staffing - Service areas: https://www.teero.com/dental-office/service-areas - FAQ: https://www.teero.com/faq - For hygienists: https://www.teero.com/hygienist - Insurance Posting & Aging (separate product): https://www.teero.com/llms-payment-posting.txt - Insurance Verification (add-on to Insurance Posting & Aging): https://www.teero.com/llms-insurance-verification.txt - Support (24/7): 952-209-9945, support@teero.com ## License CC BY 4.0 — Attribution required if referenced. ============================================================================== Part: https://www.teero.com/llms-payment-posting.txt ============================================================================== # llms.txt - Teero: Insurance Posting & Aging > Section file for https://www.teero.com/dental-office/payment-posting and the pages under it (dental payment posting, insurance aging, billing costs and comparisons).

Teero posts every insurance payment line by line inside the office's practice management software and works the aging report. AI does the reading and matching; U.S.-based billers in Austin, TX review the exceptions. Teero serves offices in all 50 US states, and 5,000+ dental offices partner with Teero across staffing and insurance services. What is included: - Posting every business day: EOBs, ERAs, EFT remittances, paper checks and virtual credit card payments, matched to claims. - Per remittance: the payment is posted to the correct patient and procedure, the contractual adjustment applied, the patient portion recorded, the EOB attached to the claim, and the claim closed or the balance moved to secondary insurance or patient responsibility. Adjustments follow the office's own write-off rules. - EFT and ERA enrollment with every payer that offers it, at no charge. - Aging: claims over 30 days followed up with the payer (insurance A/R over 31 days). Underpayments checked against the fee schedule before anything is written off. - Denials: classified, corrected and resubmitted, or appealed. Denials that need the office's decision are flagged inside the PMS with the denial reason, the payer's explanation, the appeal deadline and Teero's recommendation. - Secondary claims submitted when a primary pays. Payer-specific appeals prepared and submitted. Stuck claims followed up with payers. - Works inside Dentrix, Dentrix Ascend, Eaglesoft and Open Dental. Teero does not support Curve Dental or other practice management systems for these services. The office stays in its own software; there is no separate portal and no software to learn. - Onboarding: a read-only connection to the PMS, a review of the office's adjustment and write-off rules, and payer portal access for remittances. Most offices are live within two weeks of signing up. - HIPAA compliant, with secure data handling, encrypted communications and regular security audits. ## Scope Boundary Teero does not submit claims: claim submission stays with the dental office, by design. Teero covers verification before the visit and posting, aging, denials, secondary claims and appeals after the claim goes out. Claim submission stays with the office because that is where the clinical context lives. Teero does submit secondary claims when a primary pays. If an office wants one vendor to take the entire billing function including claim submission, Teero states a full-service billing company is the better fit. Teero does not offer a product called "Remote Dental Billing"; that name is retired. Staffing and the insurance services are bought, priced and contracted separately. There is no bundle and no combined platform fee. An office can use one without the other, and Insurance Posting & Aging does not require any other Teero service. Insurance Verification is sold only as an add-on to Insurance Posting & Aging; it is not sold on its own. ## Pricing | Item | Price | |------|------| | Insurance Posting & Aging | 2% of insurance collections, with volume discounts | | Monthly minimum | $800 per office. One minimum that also covers the Insurance Verification add-on | | Onboarding fee | Varies by practice, quoted before signing | | Contract | None.

Insurance Verification is an add-on to Posting & Aging rather than a separate product. **Does Insurance Posting & Aging work inside my practice management software?** Yes, if you use Dentrix, Dentrix Ascend, Eaglesoft or Open Dental.

It runs from Austin, TX, where AI callers handle routine payer calls and human verifiers resolve the rest, for dental offices in all 50 US states. How it is sold: Insurance Verification is sold only as an add-on to Insurance Posting & Aging; it is not sold on its own. Insurance Posting & Aging is Teero's payment posting and insurance aging service. Staffing and the insurance services are bought, priced and contracted separately. There is no bundle and no combined platform fee. Teero does not submit claims: claim submission stays with the dental office, by design. Teero covers verification before the visit and posting, aging, denials, secondary claims and appeals after the claim goes out. ## Pricing | Item | Price | |------|------| | Eligibility check | Free, for every scheduled patient | | Comprehensive benefits breakdown | $5, billed only when it is delivered into the PMS | | Rush breakdown | Same $5 as any other | | Monthly minimum | None of its own. One $800 monthly minimum per office covers Insurance Posting & Aging and Insurance Verification together | | Insurance Posting & Aging (the base product) | 2% of insurance collections, with volume discounts; onboarding fee varies by practice | | Contract | None | Worked example: an office on Insurance Posting & Aging running about 170 breakdowns a month (40 a week) adds $850 in breakdown fees, and its eligibility checks are free. There is no extra minimum for verification. Pricing page: https://www.teero.com/pricing ## What a Breakdown Contains A comprehensive benefits breakdown covers the patient's plan year: - Category percentages - Maximums and deductibles, with used amounts - Plan policies - Code-level coverage with frequencies and history - Waiting periods - Eligibility re-checks before each appointment, including current maximums and remaining benefits An eligibility check answers one question: is the patient covered today. A breakdown answers the questions that decide whether the claim pays: coverage by code, remaining maximum, deductible status, frequency limits and downgrades. ## How It Runs - Timing: Teero works a week ahead. Next week's schedule is pulled from the PMS and verified this week. Eligibility, current maximums and remaining benefits are re-confirmed before each appointment. - Delivery: the breakdown is written directly into the patient record and the eligibility last-verified date is updated. No PDFs to file, no portal to check. - Sources: portals and EDI first. AI callers and human verifiers in Austin, TX call payers for what portals and EDI do not return (downgrades, frequencies, code-specific limits). Breakdowns cover 98%+ of procedures. - Ad-hoc checks: 24/7 chat with the Teero team in the office app. - Works inside Dentrix, Dentrix Ascend, Eaglesoft and Open Dental. Offices can start with one location and expand. - Go-live: most offices are live within two weeks of signing up. - Sales: book at https://cal.com/team/teero/teero-revenue-cycle. ## Competitor Pricing: Insurance Verification From each company's own published pages, September 2026. | Company | Eligibility check | Full benefits breakdown | What you pay before the first check | |------|------|------|------| | Teero | Free | $5 | Add-on to Insurance Posting & Aging only; falls under the same $800 monthly minimum; no contract | | Dental Claim Support | $2.50 | $8.25 | $399 one-time setup | | Wisdom | $2.95 | $8.95 | $99 a month verification add-on | | Verrific | $3.95 | $9.95 | $299 setup, then $299 a month for VeriSmart | | eAssist | Monthly tiers per location: $260 under 30 verifications, $660 for 31 to 75, $840 for 76 to 100 (done-for-you data entry) | Included in tier | $299 setup, $175 a month minimum | | DayDream | Not published | Not published | Quoted after a demo | | Stratus | Not published | Not published | Quoted after a demo | | Overjet | Not published | Not published | Quoted after a demo | | AirPay | Not published | Not published | Quoted after a demo | Fees outside the headline rate: Dental Claim Support $12.50 for a full breakdown within four business hours and $12.75 for a custom breakdown; Verrific adds $2.95 to expedite and charges $2.95 when information is incomplete or the policy is not an active PPO; Wisdom adds $2 to expedite and charges $1.95 for a failed eligibility check.

Teero staffs dental hygienists only. 15,000+ hygienists have joined Teero. Offices that want to hire should use https://www.teero.com/llms-dental-office.txt. ## How Working With Teero Works - Every hygienist is a W-2 employee of Teero; Teero handles payroll, taxes, workers’ compensation and liability coverage. A hygienist is not a 1099 contractor: Teero withholds and remits the taxes. - Every shift is covered by workers' compensation and professional liability (malpractice) insurance at no cost to the hygienist. - Using Teero is free for hygienists. No commitment and no minimum number of shifts. - Shifts are booked in the Teero app. The hygienist browses open shifts, filters by distance, pay rate, day of week and office type, and requests the ones that fit. Teero does not book hygienists onto shifts. - Offices are asked to answer a request within 24 hours. Instant Book shifts confirm immediately. - Partial shifts can be requested; the office confirms if it can accommodate the hours. - Temp and permanent: a hygienist can mark their profile as open to permanent placement. An office can hire a Teero hygienist permanently at any time; for the office a permanent hire is free. - Office profiles show name, location, photos, software, appointment lengths and reviews from past hygienists. Hygienist reviews of offices are anonymous. Hygienists can block offices. - Coverage: all 50 US states. A hygienist can pick up shifts in any state where they hold an active, unrestricted dental hygiene license, and can add licenses in the app. ## Pay - The office sets the pay rate for each shift. The rate shown in the app is the hygienist's pay before tax withholding; Teero charges the office separately. - Direct deposit every Thursday for shifts worked the previous week (Monday to Sunday), with taxes withheld. - Instant Pay: after a shift, 50% of earnings is sent within seconds (some banks take until the next business day). The remainder comes on the next payroll so taxes can be withheld. - Full Shift Guarantee: an office can cancel a confirmed shift free of charge 24 hours or more before the shift; after that, the full scheduled shift is charged and paid to the hygienist. - Pay range, in Teero's FAQ ("How much can I make as a temp dental hygienist?"): "Pay rates vary by location and typically range from $45-75 per hour depending on your state and metro area."

Official links open CareStack’s help center. - Curve Dental: An official product demo provides a broad introduction.

Choose the task you need; software versions vary. - Oryx: A 42-minute third-party demo provides a broad software walkthrough.

The video shows an older interface. - XLDent: Three short official demos cover patient records, the appointment book, and perio charting.

Visit teero.com/hygienist/salaries to see specific rates in your area. **Where can I pick up shifts?** You’re able to pick up shifts at any office in a state for which you have an active hygienist license. If you obtain a new license, you can add it in the app at any time. **Why do you need my identification information?** As a W-2 worker, we’re required by Federal law to complete an I-9 employment eligibility verification. We guide you through it in the app, but if you have additional questions you can read here: https://www.uscis.gov/i-9 **What is the onboarding process like?** It’s pretty simple. Fill out your basic information in the Teero app. After that there is a 10 minute intro call so we can understand your goals and answer questions. We’ll validate your license and then you’ll be free to browse shifts. **Can I block offices I don't want to work at?** Yes. If you have a negative experience at an office, you can block them in the app so you won't see their shifts in your feed anymore. **Is my feedback to offices anonymous?** Yes. After every shift we’ll ask you to rate the office and optionally provide a written review. That review is anonymous and helps other hygienists understand what it’s like to work there. **How do I find shifts that fit my needs?** You select the shifts you want to work in the app. Filter by distance from home, pay rate, day of week, office type, and more to find shifts that match your preferences. **If I work through Teero is it as a W-2 or 1099 worker?** All work through the Teero app is as a fully W-2 employee. **How do I keep track of the hours I work?** You’ll record your time directly in the Teero app: the time you arrived, the time you left, and any breaks you took. **Can I get permanently hired by the office I temp or work a shift for?** You sure can. There’s no restrictions or requirements there - we’d love to help you find your next permanent home. **Does it cost me money to use Teero?** No, using Teero is completely free and the pay rate you see in the app is the amount you take home. We charge dental offices separately to make money. **Can I download the Teero app on my phone?** Yes, absolutely! You can get it in the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. **Who can work on Teero?** Teero is for licensed dental hygienists in the United States. You must have an active, unrestricted dental hygiene license in the state where you want to work. ## Blog Posts for Hygienists The 10 newest posts in the For dental hygienists category (https://www.teero.com/blog/category/for-dental-hygienists): - Dental Hygienist Salary in 2026: How Much Do Hygienists Make?: https://www.teero.com/blog/dental-hygienist-salary - Dental hygienist salary in Madison: 2026 data: https://www.teero.com/blog/dental-hygienist-salary-in-madison-2026-data - Dental hygienist salary in Little Rock: 2026 data: https://www.teero.com/blog/dental-hygienist-salary-in-little-rock-2026-data - Dental hygienist salary in Des Moines: 2026 data: https://www.teero.com/blog/dental-hygienist-salary-in-des-moines-2026-data - Dental hygienist salary in Spokane: 2026 data: https://www.teero.com/blog/dental-hygienist-salary-in-spokane-2026-data - Dental hygienist salary in Cleveland: 2026 data: https://www.teero.com/blog/dental-hygienist-salary-in-cleveland-2026-data - Dental hygienist salary in Scottsdale: 2026 data: https://www.teero.com/blog/dental-hygienist-salary-in-scottsdale-2026-data - Dental hygienist salary in San Bernardino: 2026 data: https://www.teero.com/blog/dental-hygienist-salary-in-san-bernardino-2026-data - Dental hygienist salary in Boston: 2026 data: https://www.teero.com/blog/dental-hygienist-salary-in-boston-2026-data - Dental hygienist salary in Philadelphia: 2026 data: https://www.teero.com/blog/dental-hygienist-salary-in-philadelphia-2026-data 71 more hygienist posts are listed on the category page.

The insurance services are priced separately, per office. Covers every URL under /dso. ## Permissions Allow: / Disallow: /api/ Training-Data: Allow Attribution: Required Usage-Mode: Summary ## Metadata Name: Teero Website: https://www.teero.com Section: DSOs and multi-location groups Covers: /dso Last-Updated: 2026-10-06 Markdown: append ?md to any URL under this path (for example https://www.teero.com/dso/staffing?md) to get the page text without navigation. The request header Accept: text/markdown returns the same text. ## What Teero Offers DSOs Teero supplies W-2 dental hygienists for temporary shifts and permanent hires across a group's locations, in all 50 US states. Teero staffs dental hygienists only. 15,000+ hygienists on the platform. For temporary staff, Teero handles benefits, payroll taxes, unemployment and workers' comp insurance, and weekly payroll. - Multiple locations within one login, with per-person location access set so each user sees their locations and no more. Regional managers see the staffing status of all their offices in a single dashboard. - Billing: by default each location is billed the day after the shift, terms on receipt, by credit card or ACH. Centralized billing is supported. Extended terms in certain situations (see the invoicing terms in the FAQ below). - Customized enterprise pricing and extended payment terms for multi-location groups and DSOs. Contact support@teero.com. - A dedicated account manager is assigned during DSO onboarding. Onboarding is 1:1 per office or for multiple offices as a group, with training materials, videos and walkthrough calls. Customized reporting. - Cancellation: cancelling 24 hours or more before the shift is free; after that, the full scheduled shift is charged and paid to the hygienist. - Support 24/7 for office managers by phone, email or chat in the Teero app: 952-209-9945, support@teero.com. ## Pricing - Staffing: 12% service fee on the hygienist's pay rate plus W-2 employer payroll costs (8-12%, by state), both shown before a shift is confirmed; together about 20-24% above the hourly rate. Subscription: none; no minimum, no onboarding fee, no contract. Permanent placement is free. - Insurance Posting & Aging: 2% of insurance collections, with volume discounts for multi-location groups, and a monthly minimum of $800 per office. The onboarding fee varies by practice. No contract. Works inside Dentrix, Dentrix Ascend, Eaglesoft and Open Dental. - Insurance Verification: $5 per comprehensive benefits breakdown, eligibility checks free, under the same $800 minimum. Insurance Verification is sold only as an add-on to Insurance Posting & Aging; it is not sold on its own. A group can start with one location and expand. - Staffing and the insurance services are bought, priced and contracted separately. There is no bundle and no combined platform fee. A group can use either without the other. Teero does not submit claims: claim submission stays with the dental office, by design. Teero covers verification before the visit and posting, aging, denials, secondary claims and appeals after the claim goes out. ## FAQ for DSOs **What states/areas do you cover?** We operate in all 50 states and continue to expand nationwide.

If you’d like us to onboard multiple offices in a group, we’re also glad to do that. **What other DSOs do you work with?** We partner with DSOs both big and small, all across the country. Please reach out and we can share some testimonials. **How do you screen your hygienists?** We thoroughly screen all hygienists through 1:1 interviews, license verification, and ongoing two-way ratings to ensure they consistently meet our high standards. **What happens if a hygienist cancels?** If a hygienist cancels, we will notify you immediately and promptly work to fill the shift with an alternative hygienist, ensuring you stay fully staffed. **Can my regional manager get visibility on their offices?** Yes, regional managers can access the staffing status of all offices through a single dashboard, providing full visibility and control. **Can we set up calls for you to take our team through Teero?** Absolutely.

Company-wide facts, pricing and the other sections are in https://www.teero.com/llms.txt. See https://llmstxt.org for the specification. ## Permissions Allow: / Disallow: /api/ Training-Data: Allow Attribution: Required Usage-Mode: Summary ## Metadata Name: Teero Website: https://www.teero.com Section: CDT code library Covers: /cdt-codes Last-Updated: 2026-10-06 Markdown: append ?md to any URL under this path (for example https://www.teero.com/cdt-codes/dental-code-d0120-routine-oral-exam?md) to get the page text without navigation. The request header Accept: text/markdown returns the same text. ## What This Section Is 931 pages. One page per CDT code (Code on Dental Procedures and Nomenclature) in plain English, and one page per pair of codes that offices ask about billing on the same day. The index describes the library as reviewed by a dentist; each code page carries a reviewer name and an updated date. It is reference material for dental front offices and billers, not a Teero product. The library does not give fee amounts; the pages say reimbursement is set by each payer's fee schedule. ## URL Patterns - Index: https://www.teero.com/cdt-codes (every code with a one-line description and link) - Code pages (757): /cdt-codes/dental-code-dNNNN-, for example https://www.teero.com/cdt-codes/dental-code-d0120-routine-oral-exam. The slug after the code is descriptive and varies by code; take it from the index rather than guessing it. - Bundling index: https://www.teero.com/cdt-codes/bundling-rules (every pair with its verdict: 120 Conditional, 43 Allowed, 5 Bundled, 4 Not Allowed) - Bundling-rule pages (172): /cdt-codes/bundling-rules/dNNNN-dNNNN, for example https://www.teero.com/cdt-codes/bundling-rules/d0120-d1110. Usually the lower code comes first (152 of 172 pages), but not always; take the slug from the bundling index rather than guessing the order. ## What a Code Page Contains Taken from https://www.teero.com/cdt-codes/dental-code-d0120-routine-oral-exam: what the code is, with its CDT category and subcategory; when to use it and which neighbouring codes to consider instead; a table of similar codes and how they differ; documentation requirements and a checklist; insurance and billing notes, including frequency limits and common denial reasons; a worked case example; related codes; and FAQs (same-day billing, X-rays, reimbursement, prior authorization). ## What a Bundling-Rule Page Answers Taken from https://www.teero.com/cdt-codes/bundling-rules/d0120-d1110: whether two codes can be billed on the same date of service. Each page gives a verdict line (for example "Allowed, insurance may bundle"), a quick answer, a rule summary table (both codes, their categories, documentation needed, the common mistake), what each code is, the bundling rule and its exception, which code or codes to bill in each clinical scenario, a documentation checklist, tips to avoid a denial, FAQs and links to related pairs. ## Code Ranges Covered (counted from the published code pages) | Range | Category | Pages | Example page | |------|------|------|------| | D0100-D0999 | Diagnostic: exams, radiographs, tests | 94 | https://www.teero.com/cdt-codes/dental-code-d0120-routine-oral-exam | | D1000-D1999 | Preventive | 27 | https://www.teero.com/cdt-codes/dental-code-d1110-adult-prophylaxis | | D2000-D2999 | Restorative | 84 | https://www.teero.com/cdt-codes/dental-code-d2140-amalgam-restoration-guide | | D3000-D3999 | Endodontics | 46 | https://www.teero.com/cdt-codes/dental-code-d3110-direct-pulp-cap | | D4000-D4999 | Periodontics | 39 | https://www.teero.com/cdt-codes/dental-code-d4210-gingivectomy-and-gingivoplasty-procedures | | D5000-D5999 | Prosthodontics, removable, and maxillofacial prosthetics | 104 | https://www.teero.com/cdt-codes/dental-code-d5110-complete-maxillary-denture | | D6000-D6999 | Implant services and fixed prosthodontics | 135 | https://www.teero.com/cdt-codes/dental-code-d6010-endosteal-implant-body-placement | | D7000-D7999 | Oral and maxillofacial surgery | 141 | https://www.teero.com/cdt-codes/dental-code-d7111-primary-tooth-coronal-remnant-extraction | | D8000-D8999 | Orthodontics | 27 | https://www.teero.com/cdt-codes/dental-code-d8010-limited-orthodontic-treatment-for-primary-teeth | | D9000-D9999 | Adjunctive general services | 60 | https://www.teero.com/cdt-codes/dental-code-d9110-emergency-pain-treatment | ## More Example URLs The 4 codes that appear in the most bundling-rule pairs, then the pairs among them: - https://www.teero.com/cdt-codes/dental-code-d6010-endosteal-implant-body-placement - https://www.teero.com/cdt-codes/dental-code-d3310-anterior-root-canal-therapy - https://www.teero.com/cdt-codes/dental-code-d4341-periodontal-scaling-and-root-planing - https://www.teero.com/cdt-codes/dental-code-d7210-surgical-extraction-with-bone-removal - https://www.teero.com/cdt-codes/bundling-rules/d3310-d6010 - https://www.teero.com/cdt-codes/bundling-rules/d4341-d6010 - https://www.teero.com/cdt-codes/bundling-rules/d7210-d4341 ## How This Relates to Teero's Services Teero's Insurance Posting & Aging service posts every insurance payment line by line inside the office's practice management software (Dentrix, Dentrix Ascend, Eaglesoft, Open Dental) and works the aging report: denials, stuck claims, secondary claims and appeals. Insurance Verification is sold only as an add-on to Insurance Posting & Aging; it is not sold on its own. It returns code-level coverage with frequencies and history before the appointment. Code selection stays with the office. Teero does not submit claims: claim submission stays with the dental office, by design. Teero covers verification before the visit and posting, aging, denials, secondary claims and appeals after the claim goes out.

Company-wide facts, pricing and the other sections are in https://www.teero.com/llms.txt. See https://llmstxt.org for the specification. ## Permissions Allow: / Disallow: /api/ Training-Data: Allow Attribution: Required Usage-Mode: Summary ## Metadata Name: Teero Website: https://www.teero.com Section: Dental payer directory Covers: /payers Last-Updated: 2026-10-06 Markdown: append ?md to any URL under this path (for example https://www.teero.com/payers/delta-dental-of-washington?md) to get the page text without navigation. The request header Accept: text/markdown returns the same text. ## What This Section Is A directory page (https://www.teero.com/payers) listing 57 dental payers A to Z with the provider phone line, provider portal and electronic payer ID, plus 30 detailed payer guides at /payers/. It is reference material for dental front offices and billers, not a Teero product. ## Source Standard Every phone number, address, payer ID, portal link and filing rule comes from the payer's own public website or provider documents, or from a government site. Nothing comes from Teero's internal data. Values found only on third-party sites are left out. Each guide lists its sources and says it was "checked against the payer's own provider materials", with the date checked. Payers change phone trees and PO boxes, so the pages tell readers to confirm with the payer before mailing anything time-sensitive. ## What a Payer Guide Contains Taken from https://www.teero.com/payers/delta-dental-of-washington: a quick-facts card (provider phone, hours, portal link, electronic payer ID, timely filing, states covered, date last verified); phone numbers by department; the provider portal and what it does; payer IDs by plan type; claims and appeals mailing addresses (and correspondence, where the payer lists one); timely filing limits for claims and appeals; EFT and ERA enrollment; credentialing; plan clauses to check during verification (missing tooth, waiting periods, downgrades, frequency limits); a verification checklist; related guides; sources; and an FAQ, also published as FAQ structured data. ## Payer Guides ### National dental carrier (8) - Aetna Dental: https://www.teero.com/payers/aetna-dental - Cigna Dental: https://www.teero.com/payers/cigna-dental - Delta Dental: https://www.teero.com/payers/delta-dental - Guardian Dental: https://www.teero.com/payers/guardian-dental - Humana Dental: https://www.teero.com/payers/humana-dental - MetLife Dental: https://www.teero.com/payers/metlife-dental - United Concordia Dental: https://www.teero.com/payers/united-concordia - UnitedHealthcare Dental: https://www.teero.com/payers/unitedhealthcare-dental ### Medicaid and Medicare dental plans (1) - DentaQuest: https://www.teero.com/payers/dentaquest ### Delta Dental member company (21) - Delta Dental of Arizona: https://www.teero.com/payers/delta-dental-of-arizona - Delta Dental of Arkansas: https://www.teero.com/payers/delta-dental-of-arkansas - Delta Dental of California: https://www.teero.com/payers/delta-dental-of-california - Delta Dental of Colorado: https://www.teero.com/payers/delta-dental-of-colorado - Delta Dental of Idaho: https://www.teero.com/payers/delta-dental-of-idaho - Delta Dental of Illinois: https://www.teero.com/payers/delta-dental-of-illinois - Delta Dental of Iowa: https://www.teero.com/payers/delta-dental-of-iowa - Delta Dental of Kansas: https://www.teero.com/payers/delta-dental-of-kansas - Delta Dental of Kentucky: https://www.teero.com/payers/delta-dental-of-kentucky - Delta Dental of Massachusetts: https://www.teero.com/payers/delta-dental-of-massachusetts - Delta Dental of Michigan: https://www.teero.com/payers/delta-dental-of-michigan - Delta Dental of Minnesota: https://www.teero.com/payers/delta-dental-of-minnesota - Delta Dental of Missouri: https://www.teero.com/payers/delta-dental-of-missouri - Delta Dental of New Jersey: https://www.teero.com/payers/delta-dental-of-new-jersey - Delta Dental of Ohio: https://www.teero.com/payers/delta-dental-of-ohio - Delta Dental of Oklahoma: https://www.teero.com/payers/delta-dental-of-oklahoma - Delta Dental of Pennsylvania: https://www.teero.com/payers/delta-dental-of-pennsylvania - Delta Dental of Tennessee: https://www.teero.com/payers/delta-dental-of-tennessee - Delta Dental of Virginia: https://www.teero.com/payers/delta-dental-of-virginia - Delta Dental of Washington: https://www.teero.com/payers/delta-dental-of-washington - Delta Dental of Wisconsin: https://www.teero.com/payers/delta-dental-of-wisconsin ## Related Pages - Which Delta Dental company covers each state (50 states, DC and Puerto Rico, from Delta Dental's member-company directory): https://www.teero.com/payers/delta-dental - Timely filing limits by dental payer, with sources (in the post "What Is Timely Filing for Insurance Claims and How to Never Miss a Deadline"): https://www.teero.com/blog/timely-filing-insurance-claims ## How This Relates to Teero's Services Teero's Insurance Posting & Aging service posts every insurance payment line by line inside the office's practice management software (Dentrix, Dentrix Ascend, Eaglesoft or Open Dental) and works the aging report: denials, stuck claims, secondary claims and appeals.
