A managed dental billing team, built around your software
Dental payment posting is the daily workflow that closes the loop between payer payment and patient balance. CDT-trained specialists post every EOB and ERA inside your PMS the day funds land, code contractual write-offs and capitation adjustments, route remaining patient portion to statements, and reconcile each batch against the bank deposit. The goal is to stop the painfully common pattern where the payment showed up but the chart still says open balance.

Why Is Dental Payment Posting So Hard to Run In-House?
Posting looks simple from the outside. In practice it is where small errors compound into months of wrong patient balances and dirty AR aging reports. Three patterns repeat across nearly every audit we run.
Posting lag breaks AR reporting
When EOBs sit in a stack for 7 to 14 days, AR aging reports show balances that are already paid. Days in AR looks worse than reality. Real denials sit hidden behind already-paid claims. Decision-making suffers.
Adjustments coded to the wrong bucket
Contractual write-offs coded as bad debt. Capitation payments posted as fee-for-service. Bundled reductions left as patient portion. The PMS shows revenue that does not match the bank. Month-end reconciliation takes days that should take an hour.
Patient statements run on stale balances
If posting is two weeks behind, patient statements go out for balances that have already been paid or already been adjusted. Patients call angry. Front desk fields the complaint. Goodwill damage compounds. Soft collections lose credibility.

How Is Staffingly’s Dental Payment Posting Different?
Most outsourced posting teams post the gross payment and stop. Ours code every adjustment correctly, route patient portion, and reconcile per payer against the bank deposit. Four differences that matter.
CDT-trained from day one
Specialists pre-tested on D0150 through D9999, contractual fee schedules per payer, LEAT downgrade logic, and bundle rules before placement on your account. Adjustments coded correctly the first time.
EOB plus ERA reconciliation
Paper EOBs scanned, indexed, and posted against the matching ERA where applicable. ERA-only batches posted in real time. Discrepancies between EOB and ERA flagged for review before posting. Nothing posts twice and nothing falls through.
Daily per-payer reconciliation
Every batch reconciled against the bank deposit per payer per day. Variances surfaced same day. Month-end close runs in hours, not days. Posting accuracy target is 99.5 percent or higher.
2-Week Risk-Free Pilot
The industry standard is zero risk-free trial. Staffingly gives you 14 days of live posting 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 Dental Payment Posting Process Work?
Six steps from discovery call to live daily posting. First batch typically posts in week two.

Frequently asked questions
How fast does posting run after funds land?
Default cadence is same-day posting for ERAs and next-business-day posting for paper EOBs after scan and index. Every batch reconciled against the bank deposit before the close-of-day report runs. Posting lag stays under 24 hours on ERA-driven payers.
How do you handle paper EOBs?
Paper EOBs scanned to a secure intake folder, indexed by payer and check date, then posted inside the PMS against the matching claim batch. Original paper retained per practice policy. Discrepancies between paper and ERA flagged for review before posting.
How accurate is your posting?
Target is 99.5 percent or higher posting accuracy on a monthly sampled QA audit. Adjustment-coding accuracy tracked separately and reported in the monthly QA report. Errors corrected and root-cause documented on the same playbook.
What about capitation and bundled payments?
Capitation arrangements posted against the capitation bucket per the contract terms. Bundled procedures (crown plus buildup, SRP plus prophy on certain plans) posted against the bundling-adjustment bucket so patient portion routes correctly. Bundle rules locked in the per-payer playbook.
Which dental PMS systems do you support?
Dentrix, Dentrix Ascend, Open Dental, Eaglesoft, Curve Dental, Denticon, Carestack, ClearDent, MacPractice, Practice-Web, and SoftDent. We support clearinghouses including DentalXChange, ClaimConnect, Change Healthcare, Tesia, and EDI Health Group for ERA feeds.
How does posting connect to AR follow-up and statements?
Posting closes the loop. Payer portion posted. Adjustments coded. Patient portion routed to statements automatically. Denied lines flagged into the denial-management queue. AR follow-up queues update in real time. No handoffs to a separate vendor.
How does pricing work?
Flat per-specialist weekly rate. $399 single specialist, $349 at volume (5 or more), $299 enterprise (10 or more). 2-week risk-free pilot at the same rate. No per-batch fees. No percentage-of-collections. No long-term contracts.
