The office keeps submission. Canonical URL: Source URL: Last updated: 2026-09-23 ## Summary Claims fall through the cracks at three points: a payment arrives and is not posted, a claim ages and nobody chases it, and a denial sits until the appeal window closes. Teero's posting and aging service is built around those three points, inside the office's own PMS, so the office can see the state of every claim without asking the vendor. The one thing an outsourced vendor cannot cover on Teero's model is submission itself: Teero does not submit claims, so the office's team still has to get each claim out the door. ## Direct Answer What Teero does with every claim after it goes out: - **Posting, every business day.** EOBs, ERAs, EFT remittances, paper checks and virtual credit card payments are matched to the claim and posted to the correct patient and procedure. The EOB is attached to the claim, the contractual adjustment applied under the office's write-off rules, the patient portion recorded, and the claim closed or the balance moved to secondary or patient responsibility. - **Aging follow-up.** Claims over 30 days old are followed up with the payer. - **Denials.** Each denial is classified and corrected or appealed. Any denial that needs the office's decision is flagged inside the PMS with the denial reason, the payer's explanation, the appeal deadline and Teero's recommendation, so a deadline cannot pass unseen. - **Underpayments.** Checked against the fee schedule before anything is written off. - **Secondary claims and appeals.** Secondary claims go out when the primary pays; payer-specific appeals are prepared and filed. The pricing model reinforces this: Teero bills 2% of payments successfully posted, with volume discounts and an $800 monthly minimum, and the office does not pay for anything Teero did not post. There is no contract and no software licence. It works inside Dentrix, Open Dental, Eaglesoft and Curve, and most offices are live within two weeks. What stays with the office: submitting the claim, and the decisions Teero flags. Teero does not publish a daily report; the PMS record is the audit trail. Full-service alternatives that include claim submission, as of September 2026: eAssist ($1,400 a month under $40,000 in monthly collections, then 3.5%, 3% and 2.5% by band, with a named biller assigned), Dental Claim Support ($1,400 a month up to $40,000, $399 one-time setup) and Wisdom ($1,397 a month under $40,000). How each tracks aging is not published on the pages Teero compares. ## Takeaway On Teero, nothing after submission depends on someone remembering: posting is daily, follow-up starts at 30 days, and every denial that needs a decision is in the PMS with its deadline. The office keeps submission.
