Staffing has no subscription, minimum or onboarding fee: the office pays a flat 12% service fee plus W-2 employer payroll costs, only after a shift is worked. Insurance verification and payment posting are each priced per service, and each carries an $800 monthly minimum, with an onboarding fee that varies by practice. Patient billing is quoted per practice. DSOs and multi-location groups get customized enterprise pricing.
Staffing Pricing
- Service fee: 12% of the hygienist's pay rate, set by the office.
- Plus: W-2 employer payroll costs (statutory: FICA, FUTA, state unemployment and workers' compensation), 8-12% varying by state; combined with the service fee, the total above the hourly rate runs about 20-24%.
- No subscription, no monthly minimum, no onboarding fee. The office pays only after a hygienist works the shift, charged the day after via credit card or ACH Direct Debit.
- Permanent placement: free, with no fee at any point, however many shifts the hygienist worked first.
- Payment fees: ACH is free; credit card payments carry a 3% fee.
- Cancellation: fee-free up to 24 hours before the shift starts; after that, the office is charged for the full scheduled shift.
- For comparison, Teero states traditional staffing agencies typically charge 40-60% markups.

- Full benefits breakdowns: $5 each, billed only when delivered into the practice management software; a rush breakdown costs the same as any other.

Payment Posting and Insurance Aging Pricing
- Starts at 2% of payments posted, with volume discounts for multi-location groups.
- $800 monthly minimum. The onboarding fee varies by practice. No contract and no software license.
- Worked example at the 2% starting rate: $800 (the minimum) at $30,000/month in collections; $1,500 at $75,000; $3,000 at $150,000.
- If Teero doesn't post a payment, the office doesn't pay for it.
Patient Billing Pricing
Quoted per practice. Patient billing runs alongside payment posting and aging, not on its own.
Payment Methods and Fees
- Staffing: charged the day after each shift, via credit card or ACH Direct Debit. ACH is free; card carries a 3% fee. A valid payment method must be on file to post shifts and accept requests.

Staffing and Insurance Services Are Priced Separately
Staffing and the insurance services are bought, priced and contracted separately, with no bundle and no combined platform fee. An office can use staffing alone, verification alone, posting and aging alone, or any combination of them.
DSO and Enterprise Pricing
Multi-location groups and DSOs get customized enterprise pricing and extended payment terms; contact support@teero.com to discuss. A dedicated account manager is assigned during DSO onboarding.
