Staffingly is built on all four. Calm side-by-side below. We stick to facts. No vendor names.

What You Need to Know About Switching Dental EV Vendors
Flat per-specialist weekly rate
$399 single specialist, $349 at volume (5 or more), $299 enterprise (10 or more). Industry standard among per-verification vendors is often $1.50 to $4 per eligibility pull, which scales painfully as schedule volume grows. Percentage-of-collections vendors charge 4 to 7 percent on the entire monthly collection. Flat per-specialist keeps the bill predictable.
Deep dental EV field set
Annual maximum used and remaining, frequency caps on fluoride and sealants and bitewings and prophy, LEAT downgrade flags on molar RCT and crown material, missing-tooth clause status, replacement intervals, waiting periods, predetermination thresholds. Most per-verification vendors return basic eligibility only.
Publicly disclosed compliance stack
HIPAA, SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, aligned. Signed BAA on every engagement. Role-based portal access. Audit logging. The full stack is documented and shared on request, not buried inside a sales call.
Why Are Practices Reconsidering Their Current Dental EV Vendor?
Three patterns drive most strategy calls when practice owners reach out about switching dental EV vendors. Calm and factual below.
Per-verification pricing scales painfully
Per-verification vendors typically charge $1.50 to $4 per eligibility pull. A 4-chair practice running 200 to 350 verifications per week can pay $1,200 to $5,800 per month, and the bill grows every time the schedule grows. Percentage-of-collections vendors charge 4 to 7 percent on the entire monthly collection. Flat per-specialist weekly pricing does not scale with schedule volume.
Eligibility-driven denials still happen
Practolytics 2026 reporting puts eligibility errors at 25 to 30 percent of all dental denials. Per-verification vendors that return basic eligibility only often miss frequency caps, LEAT downgrade flags, missing-tooth clause status, and predetermination thresholds. The claim denies three weeks after the visit for a rule the team never saw. Patient AR grows.
No transparency on field depth or compliance
Many per-verification vendors do not publish what fields they pull or which payers run on EDI 270/271 versus portal scraping. Most do not publicly disclose SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, or HITRUST posture. When practices ask for documentation, the request often gets routed and delayed.

How Does Staffingly Compare on the Four Things That Matter Most?
Side by side below. We stick to facts. Industry standard is X. Staffingly is Y. You decide. No vendor names in the comparison.
Flat per-specialist pricing
Industry standard among per-verification vendors is $1.50 to $4 per eligibility pull, which can run $1,200 to $5,800 per month for a 4-chair practice. Percentage-of-collections vendors charge 4 to 7 percent. Staffingly is $399 per specialist per week, $349 at volume, $299 enterprise. Bill predictability does not change as schedule volume climbs.
250 to 350 verifications per week per specialist
EDI 270/271 transactions for the 20 largest dental payers. Portal automation with human-in-loop fallback for the rest. 48-hour-ahead cadence on every patient. One specialist typically clears 250 to 350 verifications per week. CDT-trained human reviewer audits every pull and resolves portal exceptions.
Deep field set vs basic eligibility only
We pull annual maximum, frequency caps, LEAT downgrades, missing-tooth clause, replacement intervals, waiting periods, and predetermination thresholds. Most per-verification vendors return basic eligibility only. The deep field set is what prevents 25 to 30 percent of dental denials per Practolytics 2026 reporting.
2-Week Free Trial
Industry standard among legacy dental EV vendors is a 90-day commitment or per-pull pricing with no trial. Staffingly is 14 days of live EV work at the same rate. Cancel before day 14 and owe nothing. No annual contracts after, ever. Add or remove specialists by the week.
How Does the Switch From Your Current EV Vendor Work?
Six steps from strategy to full handoff. Most practices complete the switch in 21 to 30 days with no interruption to the 48-hour-ahead verification cadence.
Strategy + audit of current EV queue
Free 30-minute strategy call. We pull your last 90 days of eligibility-driven denials, current per-pull or percentage costs, average verification cadence, and field-depth report. We document what your current vendor is delivering and what fields they typically miss. No prep needed from you.
Signed BAA + PMS + portal access
Business associate agreement signed. Role-based access provisioned in Dentrix, Open Dental, Eaglesoft, Curve, Denticon, or Carestack. Payer portal credentials and EDI 270/271 connections confirmed. Your current vendor remains in place during onboarding so verification flow does not break.

Frequently asked questions
How is your pricing different from per-verification vendors?
Staffingly runs flat per-specialist weekly pricing: $399 single specialist, $349 at volume (5 or more), $299 enterprise (10 or more). Industry standard among per-verification vendors is often $1.50 to $4 per eligibility pull. A 4-chair practice running 200 to 350 verifications per week can pay $1,200 to $5,800 per month on a per-pull model, and the bill grows every time the schedule grows. Percentage-of-collections vendors charge 4 to 7 percent of monthly collections. Staffingly pricing does not scale with schedule volume or collections.
What fields do you pull that per-pull vendors miss?
Annual maximum used and remaining, frequency caps for fluoride and sealants and bitewings and prophy and exam, LEAT downgrade flags on molar RCT and crown material, missing-tooth clause status, replacement intervals, waiting periods, predetermination thresholds, and dependent-coverage detail. Most per-verification vendors return basic eligibility only (active or inactive, effective date, plan type). The deeper field set is what prevents 25 to 30 percent of dental denials per Practolytics 2026 reporting.
Can we switch with our current EV vendor mid-engagement?
Yes. Most legacy dental EV vendor contracts allow termination with 30 to 90 days notice or end-of-billing-cycle exit on per-pull pricing. We recommend running a parallel 2-week pilot during the notice period so 48-hour-ahead verification flow does not break. Our standard onboarding handles parallel runs cleanly. Your scheduled appointments continue to receive verifications during the transition.
What is your verification cadence and throughput per specialist?
Default cadence is 48 hours ahead of every appointment. Schedule changes inside the 48-hour window trigger an additional verification before the morning huddle. One specialist typically clears 250 to 350 verifications per week, depending on payer mix and field depth required. EDI 270/271 for the 20 largest dental payers, portal automation with human fallback for the rest.
Do I have to give notice to my current vendor before talking to Staffingly?
No. Strategy calls and the 2-Week Free Trial can run without your current vendor knowing. Most practices keep the current vendor in place until decision day 14, then give notice if they choose to switch. Some practices run the pilot for evaluation purposes only and choose to stay with their current vendor. No commitment either way.
What compliance certifications does Staffingly carry?
HIPAA aligned with signed BAA on every engagement. SOC 2 Type II for audited operational controls. ISO 27001 for an information security management system. HITRUST for healthcare-specific control coverage. Documentation shared on request before contract. Role-based PMS access, audit logging, and encryption in transit and at rest on every account. No model training on patient charts or eligibility responses.
Will I get one account manager or a rotating queue of contacts?
One named account manager per practice. Weekly review call. Monthly KPI rollup. Quarterly tuning session. Your account manager owns the relationship and knows your payer mix, your top eligibility-driven denial causes, and your monthly trend. Escalation paths are documented but rarely needed.
How are your specialists trained, and where do they work from?
Specialists are selected from top-tier healthcare and dental programs, pass rigorous neutral-accent English certifications, and work from biometric-secured HIPAA-aware facilities. Teams are trained specifically for dental eligibility verification workflows on CDT codes, dental payer behavior, EDI 270/271 transaction sets, portal-exception handling, and per-payer playbook execution. Support teams operate globally, including secured facilities.
