Net Production

The real number behind your production. after adjustments and write-offs.

Net production is your gross production minus adjustments, write-offs, and discounts. It's what you actually expect to get paid for.

How to calculate it

Gross production − insurance adjustments − write-offs − provider discounts = net production.

What's a good number?

This varies wildly by practice size, location, and fee schedule. What matters more than the absolute number is the ratio: your net production should typically be 70–85% of your gross production. If it's lower, your adjustments are eating too much.

Why it matters

Gross production looks great on paper. Net production is what actually funds your practice. Every decision. staffing, rent, equipment. should be based on net, not gross.

How to track it

Your PMS tracks adjustments at the transaction level. The challenge is aggregating it across providers and locations consistently. Denta pulls this directly from your PMS and shows net production by provider, by location, and over time.
