Teero vs eAssist for Dental Insurance Billing
eAssist's published pricing includes claim submission. Teero's Insurance Posting & Aging is 2% of insurance collections with an $800 monthly minimum and does not submit claims.
Summary
eAssist is a full-service outsourced dental billing company: its published pricing covers claim submission along with posting and follow-up. Teero's Insurance Posting & Aging covers everything after the claim goes out, posting, aging, denials, secondary claims and appeals, but not submission, which stays with the office's own team. For a practice that wants to keep claim submission in-house and hand off the rest, that scope difference matters more than the headline price.
Key Takeaways
- eAssist's published pricing includes claim submission. Teero's does not; Teero does not submit claims at all.
- Teero's Insurance Posting & Aging is 2% of insurance collections (with volume discounts) and an $800 monthly minimum; the onboarding fee varies by practice. eAssist publishes $1,400 a month under $40,000 in monthly collections, then 2.5% to 3.5% of collections, plus a clearinghouse fee of $79 to $89 a month and $0.90 per patient statement.
- Both work inside the office's practice management software for the posting and aging pieces, rather than a separate portal.

When eAssist Fits
A practice that wants one vendor to handle claim submission along with posting and follow-up, and is comfortable with pricing tied to a percentage of monthly collections once the practice grows past the base tier.
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 the work after submission handled inside its own practice management software. Pricing is 2% of insurance collections with one $800 monthly minimum per office, and verification can be added to posting and aging at $5 per breakdown rather than bought as a separate monthly tier.

Is Teero cheaper than eAssist? It depends on collections volume and how much of eAssist's bundle a practice would actually use. Teero's Insurance Posting & Aging is 2% of insurance collections (with volume discounts) and an $800 monthly minimum; eAssist's published pricing is $1,400 a month under $40,000 in collections, then 2.5% to 3.5% above that, plus clearinghouse and statement fees.

Conclusion
The scope difference is the deciding factor: eAssist's price includes claim submission, Teero's doesn't because Teero doesn't submit claims. A practice that wants to keep submission in-house and hand off posting and aging, with verification as an optional add-on, is the fit for Teero.
