## What This Product Is
Insurance Verification is Teero's outsourced dental insurance verification service: eligibility checks and comprehensive benefits breakdowns before the appointment, written into the office's practice management software. 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.

## Frequently Asked Questions
**What exactly do I get for $5?**
A complete benefits breakdown for that patient's plan year — category percentages, maximums and deductibles with used amounts, plan policies, and code-level coverage with frequencies and history — plus eligibility re-checks before each appointment, all written into your PMS.

**When do you verify?**
We work a week ahead: next week's schedule is pulled and verified this week. Before each appointment we re-confirm eligibility, including current maximums and remaining benefits.

We write the breakdown directly into the patient record and update the eligibility last-verified date — no PDFs to file, no portal for your team to check.

**What about codes the portal doesn't return?**
That's the point of our model. Portals and EDI answer the easy questions; our AI callers and human verifiers in Austin, TX get the rest on the phone — downgrades, frequencies, and code-specific limits — so breakdowns cover 98%+ of procedures.
