## Summary

Yes. Teero runs two separate businesses under one name: W-2 dental hygienist staffing, and insurance revenue cycle work (Insurance Posting & Aging, with Insurance Verification as an add-on). They are bought, priced and contracted independently. An office can sign up for one and ignore the other entirely.

## Direct Answer

**There is no bundle and no combined platform fee.** Staffing and the insurance services each have their own pricing:

- **Staffing:** a 12% service fee on the hygienist's pay rate, plus W-2 employer payroll costs. No subscription, no monthly minimum, no onboarding fee. Permanent placement is free.
- **Insurance Posting & Aging:** 2% of insurance collections (with volume discounts) and an $800 monthly minimum. The onboarding fee varies by practice. No contract.
- **Insurance Verification:** an add-on to Insurance Posting & Aging at $5 per comprehensive benefits breakdown, with eligibility checks free, under the same $800 monthly minimum. It is not sold by itself.

An office that only needs temp hygienist coverage can sign up for staffing and never touch the insurance side, and an office on Insurance Posting & Aging never has to use staffing. Nothing about staffing pricing or setup assumes or requires the insurance services, or the other way round.

This separation runs all the way through the business, not just the price sheet. Teero's staffing side finds, employs and schedules hygienists. Its insurance side is a revenue cycle service handling eligibility, benefits, payment posting and aging inside the office's own practice management software. Signing up for one does not create an account or contract touching the other, and cancelling one has no effect on the other.

## Takeaway

If a practice's main pain point is an open hygiene column, staffing alone covers it. If the pain point is a backed-up aging report or unverified benefits, Insurance Posting & Aging (with verification as an add-on) covers it without any staffing. Some offices eventually use both, because the same practice management connection and the same Teero team end up handling the front desk and the schedule, but that is a choice, not a requirement.
