Production Discrepancies: TeamCare vs. Your PMS

Last updated: March 24, 2026

If your production numbers don't match between TeamCare and Dentrix, Open Dental, or another PMS, here's how to troubleshoot.


Gross vs. Adjusted Production

Before comparing numbers, make sure you're comparing the same thing:

  • Gross Production — Total charges before any adjustments

  • Adjusted Production — Gross minus insurance adjustments

Where each appears in TeamCare:

Shows

Treatment Search

Gross production

Ledger Search

Insurance adjustments

Doctor Leaderboard

Adjusted production

Hover over any completed production figure to see the gross/adjusted breakdown.


Common Reasons Numbers Don't Match

  1. Wrong production type — Make sure you're comparing gross-to-gross or adjusted-to-adjusted.

  2. Wrong date filter — Always use Procedure Date, not Entry Date, in your PMS report.

  3. Wrong date range — Confirm both systems are set to the exact same period.

  4. Open Dental adjustment method — Open Dental can apply adjustments by Procedure Date or Insurance Payment Date. TeamCare uses Insurance Payment Date. Make sure your OD report matches.
