About Practice Quotient

The Insurance Insiders Who Work for You

Since 2013, Practice Quotient has been the firm dental practices turn to when they’re ready to stop leaving revenue on the table. We’ve recovered more than $100 million for 200+ practices — and we’re just getting started.

A Different Kind of Dental Consulting Firm

Practice Quotient is a national managed dental care contract negotiation firm. We don’t do marketing. We don’t do billing. We don’t do staffing. We do one thing — negotiate and manage PPO insurance contracts — and we do it better than anyone in the industry.

The difference starts with where we came from. Most firms in this space were founded by people with dental-office backgrounds. PQ was founded by someone who built dental networks and designed dental plans inside major insurance carriers. That’s not a marketing line — it’s the reason our approach works when others don’t.

We serve as a bridge between the payor and provider communities, translating carrier-side knowledge into real revenue recovery for dental practices of every size and specialty.

What Sets Us Apart

Why PQ Delivers Results Others Can’t

Insurance Insider Origins

Our founder didn’t learn about PPO contracts from a seminar. He built dental networks at MetLife, managed large-group operations at Humana, and designed the plans your practice participates in.

Institutional Endorsements

AAOMS has endorsed PQ as an Advantage Approved Partner for over a decade — the only PPO negotiation firm with that distinction. The Georgia Dental Association endorses us as a trusted partner for their members.

Leadership Handles Every Account

When you hire PQ, you work with the PQ Team directly. No junior account managers. No call centers. No handoffs. The people who develop your strategy are the same people who execute it.

Managed to Completion, Not a Perpetual Retainer

We actively manage your contracts as carrier markets shift — and when there’s nothing left to improve, we tell you, rather than bill for maintenance you don’t need. Most clients revisit every couple of years to recalibrate.

Our Team

Meet the Team Behind $100M+ in Recovered Revenue

The PQ Team is built of veteran dental-insurance industry professionals — people who spent years inside the payor environment before bringing that experience to the provider side of the table. Every engagement draws on that carrier-side perspective, from the first analysis to the final negotiated schedule.

Matthew Paul

Supports every PQ engagement with the numbers: fee-schedule modeling, carrier-level analysis, and the reporting that shows clients exactly what each negotiation is worth.

Referral-Driven by Design

The Project Ends. The Relationship Doesn’t.

Our work is referral-driven, and that shapes how we treat every engagement. When a project ends, the relationship doesn’t — clients call us years later with a contract question, and returning clients pick up with a team that already knows their practice. We’d rather build something a practice can count on than move on to the next name on a list.
