Dentist commissions,
from completed work, without a calculator
Set a percentage or a fixed fee for each dentist, and Synora builds the period's statement from the procedures they actually completed, line by line — for you to review, approve and mark paid.
Commission rules and statements are on every plan. Free allows two staff accounts, so a clinic with several dentists will need Pro.
Synora's dentist commissions work out each dentist's share from the work they completed: a percentage of what was invoiced or collected, or a fixed fee, per dentist, category or procedure, with the lab bill taken off first if you choose. Generate a statement for any period, approve it and record it as paid. Commissions are on every plan, including Free.
| Plan | Every plan, including Free (Free allows two staff accounts) |
|---|---|
| Rule | A percentage, a fixed fee or monthly bands (e.g. 30% up to 50,000, 40% above), for all of a dentist's work, one category or one procedure |
| Worked out on | The invoiced amount (after discount, before tax) or the money collected, chosen per rule; the lab bill and materials come off first if the rule says so |
| Rule dates | Valid from a date, until an optional end date, with a priority |
| Statement | Draft → Approved → Paid |
| Who sees statements | The owner, branch managers, accountants and the read-only auditor; each dentist sees their own approved statements |
| Last updated |
End of the month: a notebook per dentist, a calculator, and an argument. A procedure forgotten, another counted twice, a percentage nobody remembers agreeing — and a dispute with the dentist you want to keep.
How does Synora work out each dentist's commission?
A rule for each dentist
A percentage of what was invoiced or collected, or a fixed fee per procedure — for all of a dentist's work, one category or one procedure — with a start date, an optional end date and a priority.
A statement for any period
Pick a dentist and a period: Synora lists their completed work that was invoiced or paid in it, and applies the rule in force on the day each procedure was done, line by line.
Never counted twice
Work already paid in full is left out of the next statement; on money collected, each statement pays only what came in since the last one.
Draft, approved, paid
A statement starts as a draft, is approved after review, and is then marked paid. "Paid" is a mark you record — Synora does not take the money out of a cash register. The dentist sees it once it is approved.
Past statements stay as they were
Change a rule or end it with an end date, and the statements already made keep their lines.
A worked example
Illustrative figures: a dentist on a 40% rule on the invoiced amount completes and invoices a crown at EGP 3,000 and a filling at EGP 500 during the month, with no lab bill. The statement has two lines: 40% of 3,000 = EGP 1,200, and 40% of 500 = EGP 200 — EGP 1,400 in total.
What doesn't it do yet?
- A refund or void after a statement is paid is not taken out of that statement: it comes off the dentist's next statement instead, and what does not fit is carried to the one after.
- Bands in a tiered rule count one statement period at a time and start again with the next one: a statement for half a month is banded on its own.
- Material costs come only from stock the procedure used: there is no box to type an extra cost on a completed procedure.
- No payroll: salaries, social insurance and tax stay outside Synora.
Questions about this feature
You choose, per rule. "Invoiced" pays on the procedure's invoiced amount (after discount, before tax) once it is done and invoiced; "collected" pays as the patient's money comes in, across statements, and never on more than was invoiced.
Yes. A rule can cover all of a dentist's work, one procedure category or one procedure, and the most specific rule wins. You can end a rule and start a new one from any date.
If the rule says so. A lab case sent from the treatment-plan line ("Send to lab") is linked to that procedure, and its cost — and, if you choose, the materials the procedure used from stock — comes off before the percentage.
Yes, once the clinic has approved them: each dentist sees only their own statements, line by line, under My fees. Drafts stay with the owner, branch managers, accountants and the read-only auditor.
Every plan, including Free. Free allows two staff accounts, the owner's included, and each dentist needs an account of their own — so a clinic with several dentists will need Pro.
