Teero pricing
Teero charges a 12% service fee on temp hygienist shifts and nothing for permanent hires. Staffing is pay-per-shift, with no subscription. Insurance Posting & Aging is 2% of insurance collections (with volume discounts) and an $800 monthly minimum. Insurance Verification is an add-on to Posting & Aging at $5 per benefits breakdown, with eligibility checks free, and falls under the same $800 minimum. 12-month and month-to-month options are available for Insurance Posting & Aging and Insurance Verification.
Hygienist staffing
What you pay: the hygienist’s hourly rate plus a 12% Teero service fee, billed after the shift is worked.

12% of the hygienist’s hourly rate
Employer payroll costs (FICA, unemployment, workers’ comp)
Roughly 8–12% of the hygienist’s pay, varying by state. The statutory cost any W-2 employer pays, passed through at cost.

The full scheduled shift, paid to the hygienist for the time they held for you
Worked example: a $55/hr hygienist for 8 hours = $440 pay + $52.80 Teero fee (12%) + $35–$53 employer payroll costs (8–12%, by state) = $528–$546 all-in, or about $66–$68/hr. A 1099 platform charging 22.5% bills $539 for the same shift, roughly the same money, but there the hygienist is a contractor and the compliance risk sits with your office.
Put plainly: your all-in cost is typically 20–24% above the hygienist’s hourly rate. 12% is Teero’s fee; the rest is the same payroll tax and insurance your practice already pays on its own W-2 hygienists.
