Dentist Share and Payouts for Dental Clinics

Associate and visiting dentists are often paid a share of what they treat. This module works out each share from the procedures completed, using the rule the clinic has set for that particular dentist.

How a share is worked out

Rules per dentist

One associate may get a share of every procedure, while a visiting orthodontist may get a share of adjustments only. Each arrangement is entered the way the clinic pays it today.

Per procedure rates

A root canal and a scaling can carry different shares. The rate is read from the procedure on the bill, so nobody works it out by hand from a day sheet at month close.

Lab cost handling

Where the clinic deducts the lab charge before a share is worked out, the order’s charge is taken off first. Where it does not, the full fee is used.

Collected or billed

The clinic chooses whether a share is worked on amounts billed or on amounts actually collected. Part-paid plans then count the way the clinic has decided, and the rule is written on the statement.

At month end

A statement for each dentist lists patients, procedures and the share earned, with the rule used to reach it. The owner checks it. Then the payout is recorded. A dentist who questions a line can be shown the bill behind it.

Who sees what

Each dentist sees only their own statement. Owners see all of them. Front desk staff do not see shares at all, unless the owner gives that access to a named person.

What it does not do

It does not pay anyone, and it does not deduct tax. Whether tax is cut from a payout, and how it is shown, is a matter for the clinic’s accountant. Salaried payroll sits outside it.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can different dentists have different rules?

Yes. Every dentist has their own rule, and a change takes effect from the date the owner sets.

Is a dentist paid on cancelled bills?

No. A cancelled or refunded procedure drops out of the statement, following the rule the clinic has set for refunds.

Can a visiting dentist work at two branches?

Yes. Procedures from both branches appear on one statement, with the branch shown against each line.

Can the statement be sent to the dentist?

Yes, as a printout or a file, once the owner has checked it.
