What Outsourced Dental Payment Posting Costs in 2026
Published prices for Teero, eAssist, Dental Claim Support, Wisdom, Fincura and Lassie, and why the same percentage means different things depending on what it is applied to.
Introduction
Dental billing vendors price in three shapes: a percentage of collections with a monthly floor, a posting fee, or a flat fee plus a per-claim charge. The shapes are not interchangeable, and the scope behind them differs. Some prices include claim submission. Teero's does not, because Teero does not submit claims.
Key Takeaways
- Teero's Insurance Posting & Aging is 2% of insurance collections, with volume discounts and an $800 monthly minimum. The onboarding fee varies by practice. No contract, no software licence.
- eAssist, Dental Claim Support and Wisdom publish about $1,400 a month under $40,000 in monthly collections, then 2.5% to 3.5% of collections. Those prices include claim submission.
- Fincura publishes $250 a month plus $2 per claim posted, with a $1,000 implementation fee.
- Lassie published a 2% posting fee and $3,000 per-location setup in July 2026 and now quotes after a demo.
Three Pricing Shapes
Percentage of collections, with a floor
The vendor takes a share of what the practice collects from insurance, and charges a flat amount when collections are below a threshold. Full-service billing companies use this shape and include submission, posting and follow-up in it. Teero uses it too, at 2% of insurance collections with an $800 monthly minimum, but its price covers posting, aging follow-up, denials, secondary claims and appeals, not submission.
Posting fee
Posting-focused vendors may publish a percentage described as a posting fee. Lassie published a 2% posting fee in July 2026 and now quotes after a demo. Before comparing it with a percentage of collections, ask what the percentage is applied to and what minimum or setup sits beside it.
Flat fee plus per claim
A fixed monthly charge plus a price per claim posted. Predictable at low volume, and worth recomputing as claim counts grow.
