What You Need to Know About Switching Dental PA Vendors
Flat per-specialist weekly rate
$399 single specialist, $349 at volume (5 or more), $299 enterprise (10 or more). Industry standard among legacy dental PA vendors is percentage of collections (commonly 4 to 7 percent in dental PA). A flat rate means your monthly bill does not climb when your case volume climbs.
2-Week Risk-Free Pilot
Industry standard among legacy dental PA vendors is a 90-day commitment. Staffingly gives you 14 days of live work at the same rate. Cancel before day 14 and owe nothing. No annual contracts after, ever. Add or remove specialists by the week.
Publicly disclosed compliance stack
HIPAA, SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, and HITRUST aligned. Signed BAA on every engagement. Role-based PMS 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 PA Vendor?
Three patterns drive most discovery calls when practice owners reach out about switching dental PA vendors. Calm and factual below.
Pricing scales with your success
Percentage-of-collections pricing typically runs 4 to 7 percent across legacy dental PA vendors. On a $2M practice running active PA volume, that can mean $80K to $140K per year, and the bill grows every time approvals improve. Flat per-specialist weekly pricing does not scale with collections.
PA depth often shallow on specialty cases
Legacy PA vendors often run a general-dental playbook and lean on practice staff for specialty narrative writing on implants, bone grafts, IV sedation, TMJ, sleep apnea oral appliances, orthognathic, and pediatric sedation. Cases stall in the inbox. Staff burns out doing the work the vendor was hired to own.
No transparency on pricing or compliance
Many legacy dental PA vendors 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. A vendor that is comfortable with their compliance posture shares it on request, not after escalation.

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 legacy dental PA vendors is percentage of collections, commonly 4 to 7 percent. On a $2M practice that can run $80K to $140K per year and climbs with approvals.

Frequently asked questions
How is your pricing different from percentage-of-collections 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 legacy dental PA vendors is percentage of collections, commonly 4 to 7 percent in dental PA. On a $2M practice, percentage-based pricing can run $80K to $140K per year. Staffingly pricing does not scale with your collections or approval volume.
Can we switch mid-engagement with our current PA vendor?
Yes. Most legacy dental PA vendor contracts allow termination with 30 to 90 days notice. We recommend running a parallel 2-week pilot during the notice period so PA flow does not break. Our standard onboarding handles parallel runs cleanly. Your open PAs continue to work during the transition.
Will my open PAs transfer cleanly?
Yes, when handled correctly. We document every open PA and every in-flight appeal during the parallel run. Your current vendor finishes the cases they started. Staffingly picks up new PAs and any aged work explicitly handed off. We share a written PA transfer plan on day one of the pilot so nothing falls through the cracks.
Do I have to give notice to my current vendor before talking to Staffingly?
No. Discovery calls and the 2-Week Risk-Free Pilot 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.
How deep is your dental PA workflow library?
Staffingly maintains 14 dedicated dental PA spoke pages: implant PA, bone graft and GBR PA, IV sedation PA, pediatric sedation PA, periodontal surgery PA, orthognathic surgery PA, TMJ treatment PA, sleep apnea oral appliance PA, crown and bridge PA, predetermination tracking, Medicaid dental PA, PA appeals after denial, AI dental PA automation, and end-to-end dental PA. Each spoke references AAOMS, AAOP, AAPD, ADA, and CMS LCD guidance where applicable.
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 denials, and your monthly approval trends. 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 PA workflows on CDT codes, dental payer behavior, AAOMS and AAOP guideline references, and per-payer playbook execution. Support teams operate globally, including secured facilities in India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh.
