How our pricing works.
We do not sell vague monthly consulting. We build case-specific projects for dental practices based on real data, real scope, and real opportunity.
Why we do not quote over the phone.
Just like a dentist cannot responsibly diagnose every patient the same way when someone calls and says, “My lower left tooth hurts,” we cannot assume every dental office has the same problem or needs the same solution.
Every practice has a different combination of carriers, fee schedules, leasing relationships, write-offs, provider mix, growth goals, and internal challenges. That is why we do not believe in throwing out a number over the phone just to “give you a price.”
In our world, that would be guesswork — and guesswork is not how Solutions 101 operates.
The $1,500 Analysis
Every engagement starts with a $1,500 analysis. This allows our team to review your data, evaluate the opportunity, determine the right strategy, and decide whether we are truly in a position to help.
It is the first step in protecting both the client and the integrity of the recommendation.
What the analysis does.
- Determines whether meaningful opportunity exists
- Identifies the right strategic path for the office
- Defines the true scope of the work before pricing is set
- Protects you from paying for a generic solution
- Protects us from making promises before the facts are known
- If we determine we cannot materially help, we refund the $1,500
- If you move forward, the $1,500 is credited toward your project
We are project-based — not a monthly contract.
Solutions 101 is not an open-ended monthly consulting firm where you pay indefinitely without a clear start, execution plan, or finish line.
We build defined projects. Those projects are often paid in monthly installments during the active project period, but the work itself is built around a specific scope and objective.
In other words: our clients are paying for a project, not signing up for endless consulting.
Typical project investment.
Final pricing depends on the office, the opportunity, and the amount of work required to execute the strategy correctly. A single-location, single-provider office will typically fall on the lower end of the range, while multi-provider offices, multi-location groups, and DSO environments often require a broader and more intensive engagement.
Typical client project payment
Many cases are structured in this range during the active project period.
Typical client monthly upside
In many single-provider offices, monthly improvement can fall in this range. Larger groups and DSOs can scale well beyond it.
What drives pricing?
- Number of providers involved in the case
- Number of office locations included in the project
- Current PPO participation and carrier mix
- Actual plan types patients are bringing to the practice
- Leasing arrangements and contracting complexity
- Need for negotiation, restructuring, or transition planning
- Onsite training schedules and implementation support
- Patient communication and notification timing
Frequently asked questions.
Here is the general framework we use to answer the most common pricing questions.
How much do clients typically gain from your process?
We do not take on projects unless we believe the expected return materially outweighs the cost of the engagement. In many single-provider offices, that can translate into annual financial improvement of approximately $150,000 to $250,000+, depending on the office’s current PPO mix, reimbursement position, and overall opportunity. In multi-provider, multi-location, and DSO environments, the impact can scale quickly.
Can you just give me a quick price?
We can give you a general framework, but we do not quote complex strategy work blindly. The analysis is what allows us to determine the right scope and price for your office.
Is the $1,500 analysis applied to the project?
Yes. If you hire us, the $1,500 is credited toward your project.
When is the $1,500 refunded?
We refund it if we determine we cannot materially help your office. If we complete the analysis, identify meaningful opportunity, and outline a viable path forward, the fee is not refunded simply because a prospect chooses not to proceed.
Are you a monthly consulting firm?
No. We are a project-based firm. As a courtesy to our clients, many projects are paid in monthly installments during the active phase, but our work is structured around a defined scope, strategy, and endpoint.
How long do projects last?
It varies. Some projects are shorter and more targeted. Others are broader and require a longer implementation period. The timeline depends on the office, the current contracting mix, onsite training schedules, patient notification periods, and what needs to be accomplished.
