Teero vs Wisdom: Full-Service Billing or Posting-Only RCM?

Summary

Wisdom is a full-service dental billing company. Its published pricing covers claim submission along with posting, follow-up and patient billing, each priced as its own line item. Teero's payment posting and aging service covers everything after the claim goes out, posting, aging, denials, secondary claims and appeals, but not submission, which stays with the practice's own team. For a practice deciding between the two, the scope difference matters more than the headline rate, because the two companies aren't selling the same thing.

Key Takeaways

• Wisdom's published pricing includes claim submission. Teero does not submit primary claims; Teero does send secondary claims once a primary payer has paid.
• Wisdom starts at $1,397 a month under $40,000 in monthly insurance collections, then steps to 3.5%, 3.25% and 2.75% by band as collections grow. Teero starts at 2% of payments posted, with volume discounts and an $800 monthly minimum.
• Wisdom prices verification as a separate $99 a month add-on, plus $8.95 per full breakdown and $2.95 per eligibility check, with a $2 charge to expedite. Teero's verification is priced on its own too: eligibility checks are free, full breakdowns are $5 each, with an $800 monthly minimum.
• Wisdom also sells patient billing separately, at $1,097 to $1,797 a month by net production, or 0.5% above $500,000. Teero's patient billing runs alongside payment posting and is quoted per practice.
• Both work inside the practice's own practice management software for their respective pieces, rather than a separate portal.

When Wisdom Fits

A practice that wants one vendor to take over the entire insurance billing function, submission included, and prefers each piece, billing, verification and patient billing, priced and invoiced as its own separate line. That structure is easy to itemize if a practice only wants one of the three, and Wisdom publishes a rate for each of them individually rather than bundling.

When Teero Fits

A practice that wants to keep claim submission with its own team, since that's where the clinical context from the visit lives, and wants a vendor priced on what it actually processes rather than a flat add-on for verification on top of a separate billing fee. It also suits offices that want posting, aging and verification bought and billed separately without paying for a bundle they don't use. Some offices use Teero for verification only, some for posting and aging only, and many for both.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Teero submit claims like Wisdom does? No. Teero's scope is verification before the visit and posting, aging, denials, secondary claims and appeals after the claim goes out. Claim submission stays with the dental office's team. See does Teero submit dental insurance claims.

Is Teero cheaper than Wisdom? It depends on collections volume and which of Wisdom's separately priced services a practice would actually use. Teero's posting starts at 2% of payments posted with an $800 monthly minimum; Wisdom's posting starts at $1,397 a month under $40,000 in collections, and its verification and patient billing are priced as additional line items on top of that.

Can I use Teero for just verification, without payment posting? Yes. Verification, and posting and aging, are separate Teero products with separate pricing, each with its own $800 monthly minimum.

Does Wisdom's published price include patient billing? No. Wisdom prices patient billing separately, at $1,097 to $1,797 a month by net production, or 0.5% above $500,000 in production. Teero's patient billing also runs as a distinct product, quoted per practice.

Which practice management systems does Teero work with? Dentrix, Open Dental, Eaglesoft and Curve.

Conclusion

The scope difference is the deciding factor: Wisdom's published price includes claim submission, priced across separate line items for billing, verification and patient billing. Teero's price doesn't include submission because Teero doesn't submit primary claims; it prices posting, aging and verification on their own, each with an $800 monthly minimum. A practice that wants to keep submission in-house and pay for the rest based on what's actually processed is the fit for Teero; a practice that wants one vendor to own the whole function should look at Wisdom.
