This guide explains how to enter and manage net monthly values for capitation dental plans so your reporting reflects accurate income and performance.
🚨 Important: You need admin rights to input the values.
What are Net Monthly Values?
Net monthly values represent the actual monthly amount a practice receives for a capitation dental plan after deductions. In other words, it's the true take-home value of a plan per patient per month — not the headline price.
The net monthly value typically deducts the plan provider administration fees.
Example
If a private plan costs £20 per month and there is a £2 plan provider admin fee, the:
Gross monthly value: £20
Net monthly value: £18
£18 is the amount the practice actually receives each month per patient. This is the net monthly value.
Important to Know
Net monthly values should always be kept up to date
Incorrect values can impact financial reporting
If you are unsure of the values, confirm with your plan provider or practice owner
