A number matters when you can explain how it was built.

  • Are we producing what we planned?

    Review production by day, provider, procedure, location, and period.

  • Are we collecting what we produced?

    See collections, aging, credits, and patient-versus-insurance balances without hiding the difference between them.

  • Can we explain what each provider will be paid?

    Keep contract rules, guarantees, lab fees, thresholds, hours, and final compensation visible in the calculation.

  • What needs review before payroll exports?

    See timecard exceptions and early punches before unreviewed minutes become paid hours.

Hygiene bonus

See the bonus build in real time.

Compare production against a wage-based threshold, calculate the overflow, and show exactly how the configured percentage becomes the hygienist’s bonus.
