A full-time Reach remote team member starts at about $11 an hour, based on $1,995 a month across 174 working hours. The rate is month to month with no long-term contract, and it covers recruiting, dental-specific training through Reach Academy, and a dedicated Success Manager.
Where the $11 figure comes from
It is a calculation, not a headline. A full-time schedule is 40 hours a week. Across a year that works out to 174 working hours in an average month. Divide $1,995 by 174 and you land at about $11 an hour.
That is the number worth holding onto, because an hourly rate is what a practice owner can compare against anything else on the schedule. A monthly figure sounds like a subscription. An hourly figure sounds like a person, which is what it is.
What the rate includes
The rate is not a placement fee with the real cost arriving later. It covers the work that happens before the person starts and the work that keeps them effective after:
- Recruiting and vetting. Candidates are screened down to the top 0.2%, and the practice interviews a shortlist and chooses.
- Dental-specific, role-based training through Reach Academy, covering practice software, insurance, communication standards and the tasks the role owns.
- A dedicated Success Manager who sets the role up with the practice and stays with it, so there is a named person to call rather than a ticket queue.
Employment administration sits with Reach as well, including classification, payroll and local labor law in the regions the team member works from.
What a full-time schedule looks like
Forty hours a week, inside your hours, working in your software. Reach team members work in Dentrix, Eaglesoft, Open Dental, Curve, Archy and others, cloud or server based, with access set by the practice.
They work alongside your staff rather than instead of them. A remote team member never makes clinical decisions. The front desk stays, and gets backup on the tasks that were pushing everything else out of the day.
Month to month, and why that matters
There is no long-term contract. The arrangement runs month to month, which puts the burden on the engagement to keep earning itself rather than on a signature from last spring.
If the match is not right, the search restarts at no extra cost. That is the piece most practices ask about second, right after price, because almost everyone has a story about a remote hire that went nowhere.
Which role most practices fill first
Usually the one causing the most visible pain. Practices losing calls start with a Front Desk Representative. Practices drowning in benefit breakdowns start with an Insurance Verification Specialist, which is the most commonly disliked task at the counter. Practices with an aging report nobody has worked since summer start with Revenue Cycle Management.
More than 1,150 dental practices across the US run with Reach team members today. Part-time schedules at 20 hours a week are available, and pricing for that option is [PENDING].
