# Keeping Dental Insurance Work Stable When Front Desk Turnover Is High

> Teero runs verification, posting and aging follow-up as a standing service inside the PMS, so the work continues when staff change. Claim submission stays in-house and needs a backup.

## Summary

The parts of insurance work that suffer most from turnover are the ones nobody sees until they are late: eligibility calls for next week, posting today's remittances, and chasing claims past 30 days. Teero runs those as a service that does not depend on who is at the desk. Verification is written into the practice management software a week ahead, payments are posted daily every business day, and aging, denials, secondary claims and appeals are worked continuously. Claim submission is the one insurance task Teero does not take on, so that step still needs more than one trained person in the office.

## Direct Answer

What stays stable with Teero regardless of staffing:

- **Pre-visit verification.** Next week's schedule is verified this week and re-confirmed before each appointment. Results land in the patient record, not in a departing employee's spreadsheet or inbox.
- **Posting.** Every EOB, ERA, EFT remittance, paper check and virtual credit card payment is posted daily inside Dentrix, Eaglesoft, Open Dental or Curve, with adjustments following the office's own write-off rules. Those rules are reviewed at onboarding, so they survive a staff change.
- **Aging and denials.** Claims over 30 days old are followed up with the payer, denials are classified and corrected or appealed, and anything needing the office's decision is flagged inside the PMS with the reason, the payer's explanation, the appeal deadline and a recommendation. A new hire can pick up the flagged items without knowing the history.
- **Payer access.** Teero handles EFT and ERA enrollment with every payer that offers it, at no charge, so remittances keep arriving electronically.
- **Reaching Teero.** 24/7 chat with the Teero team in the office app for ad-hoc verification checks.

What still needs an in-house owner: claim submission, patient-facing billing questions and scheduling. Teero does not submit claims, by design, so cross-train at least two people on it.

Terms: posting and aging starts at 2% of payments posted with volume discounts; verification is free eligibility checks and $5 per breakdown; each has an $800 monthly minimum, no contract and no software licence, and the onboarding fee varies by practice. Onboarding is a read-only PMS connection, a review of write-off rules and payer portal access, and most offices are live within two weeks.

As of September 2026, eAssist publishes a named biller assigned to each practice and includes claim submission; the other vendors in Teero's comparison do not publish how they handle continuity.

## Takeaway

Teero removes the front desk as the single point of failure for verification, posting and aging, and leaves claim submission where the clinical context is. Details are on [Teero's payment posting and aging page](https://www.teero.com/dental-office/payment-posting).
