Multi-Payor Management
NHS, Private, and Plan-Based Dental Software
Today's UK dental practices rarely operate as purely NHS or purely private. From mixed NHS and fee-per-item dentistry to membership plans and hybrid patient journeys, modern practices need a way to manage every funding model under one roof. CareStack Multi-Payer Management brings NHS, private, and plan-based treatment funding into a single unified workflow inside the PMS, with flexible control at procedure code, treatment plan, or patient level.
No more split treatment plans, duplicated workflows, or fragmented billing logic. Every clinician follows the same clinical flow, while the system handles payor attribution accurately behind the scenes. NHS bands remain compliant, private fees are billed correctly, and plan-funded treatments are automatically mapped to the right entitlements.
The result is a single source of truth for mixed-payor dentistry. Your team stops manually separating NHS and private treatment journeys, your clinicians focus on care rather than admin, and your practice gains complete visibility of revenue by payor type, all while supporting structured conversion of NHS patients into higher-value private treatment when clinically appropriate.
For the ultimate dental software, choose the solution that’s scalable for growing dental start-ups or large multi-site practices and still affordable for single-location dental practices. Choose CareStack!
