> They belong to two separate products. Payment posting is 2% of payments posted with an $800 monthly minimum; verification is $5 per breakdown with its own $800 minimum. The minimum is a floor, not an extra fee.

## Summary

There is no third price point. The three numbers belong to two separately priced services. Payment posting and insurance aging starts at 2% of the insurance payments Teero posts, with an $800 monthly minimum. Insurance verification is $5 per full benefits breakdown, with free eligibility checks and its own $800 monthly minimum. In both cases the $800 is a floor on the monthly bill, not a fee charged on top of the usage-based amount. An office can buy either service alone or both.

## Direct Answer

| Service | Usage-based price | Monthly minimum | Onboarding fee | Contract |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Payment posting and insurance aging | Starts at 2% of payments posted, volume discounts | $800 | Varies by practice | None |
| Insurance verification | Eligibility checks free; $5 per full benefits breakdown | $800 | Varies by practice | None |

**How the minimum works.** Teero's worked examples show it. For posting at the 2% starting rate, an office with $30,000 a month in collections pays $800, the minimum, because 2% comes in under it; at $75,000 the bill is $1,500 and at $150,000 it is $3,000. For verification, about 170 breakdowns a month costs $850, which is 170 times $5, above the floor. Below the floor the bill is $800; above it, the bill is the usage amount.

**What each number covers.** The 2% covers posting every EOB, ERA, EFT, paper check and virtual credit card payment line by line inside the practice management software, plus working the aging report: claims over 30 days, denials, underpayments, secondary claims and appeals. If Teero does not post a payment, the office does not pay for it. The $5 breakdown covers category percentages, maximums and deductibles with used amounts, plan policies, code-level coverage with frequencies and history, waiting periods, and eligibility re-checks before each appointment. A breakdown is billed only when it is delivered into the PMS.

**What is not in any of the three.** Claim submission stays with the office; Teero's prices cover verification before the visit and posting, aging, denials, secondaries and appeals after the claim goes out. Patient billing is a separate service, quoted per practice, that runs alongside posting rather than on its own. Hygienist staffing is priced separately again: 12% plus W-2 costs, with no minimum.

## Takeaway

Read the three numbers as two price sheets: 2% with an $800 floor for posting and aging, and $5 per breakdown with an $800 floor for verification. An office that takes both has two minimums, an office that takes one has one, and there is no contract on either.
