Dental revenue & collections management consulting
Collections optimization, insurance billing, fee schedule management, and accounts receivable systems that protect and grow practice revenue month over month — built on 32 years of achieving above-benchmark collections in a single-doctor private practice in Connecticut.
What is dental collections management consulting?
Dental collections management consulting is the process of identifying and closing the revenue gaps that quietly drain practice income — from undertrained billing staff and poorly structured fee schedules to insurance claim delays and accounts receivable backlogs. At Praxis Operations Group, we build the systems that protect and grow your collections every month, without DSO infrastructure or corporate support.
Why collections fail — and how we fix it
The industry benchmark for a single-doctor dental practice is $600K–$800K in annual collections. Most practices that fall below that number don't have a clinical problem — they have an operational one. We have maintained collections at $1.2M annually in a single-doctor private practice in Connecticut. We know exactly where the revenue is leaking — and how to stop it.
Collections optimization Identifying and closing the gaps between production and collections — the single most impactful lever in practice revenue.
Insurance billing & follow-up Clean claims, timely follow-up, and denial management systems that minimize lost revenue from insurance delays and rejections.
Fee schedule management Reviewing and optimizing your fee schedule against market rates in Connecticut and New York to ensure you are not leaving revenue on the table.
Accounts receivable management Bringing aging AR under control and building the systems to keep it there — month after month, without chasing.

Frequently asked questions
Q: What is a good collections rate for a dental practice? The industry benchmark for a single-doctor dental practice is $600K–$800K in annual collections. A collections rate — the percentage of production actually collected — should be 98% or higher. At Praxis Operations Group, we have sustained $1.2M in annual collections in a single-doctor private practice in Connecticut, well above industry benchmarks, without DSO backing or corporate infrastructure.
Q: How quickly can you improve a practice's collections performance? Most practices see measurable improvement within 60–90 days of implementing corrected billing systems, insurance follow-up protocols, and AR management processes. The fastest gains typically come from closing the gap between production and collections — an area where most practices leave significant revenue uncaptured.
Q: Do you work with practices that are preparing for acquisition? Yes. Strong, documented collections performance is one of the most important drivers of practice valuation. We help practices in Connecticut and New York build the financial infrastructure and reporting that supports a strong acquisition price — and we manage the collections continuity through the transition itself.
