The two are separate products. Geographic-Coverage: All 50 US States Last-Updated: 2026-09-24 ## 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 states. - Founders: Nate Anderson (Co-founder & CEO) and Christian Wicks (Co-founder & COO), founded 2022. - Team size: about 35 people. - 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. Claim submission stays with the dental office, by design, because that is where the clinical context lives. Teero does not submit claims and does not offer a product called "Remote Dental Billing"; that name is retired. - 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 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. An office cannot buy verification by itself. - 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 - 12,000+ hygienists - 100,000+ shifts booked to date - W-2 hygienists placed in 2,710 cities across all 50 states - Teero app ratings, as of September 2026: App Store 4.9 (3.1K ratings); Google Play 4.9 (414 reviews); Google Reviews 4.9 (173 reviews) ## Services and Pricing 1.

Price: 12% service fee on the hygienist's pay rate, plus W-2 employer payroll costs (8-12%, by state). 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. Cancellation is free up to 24 hours before the shift. 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, Open Dental, Eaglesoft, Curve) and works the aging report: denials, stuck claims, secondary claims and appeals. Price: 2% of insurance collections (with volume discounts) and an $800 monthly minimum. 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.
