What PayorMap adds—and what it does not
PayorMap combines its existing geographic dental rate and payer/CDT research with demographic and practice-supply screens. These are complementary evidence layers, not a claim that PayorMap duplicates every feature of Dentagraphics.
- Adds payer-disclosed, CDT-level reimbursement observations to demographic and supply market research where source provenance supports comparisons.
- Is intended for an initial national relocation screen followed by local-market and ZIP diligence.
- Does not currently claim the same human-verified active office inventory; real practice competitors must be verified independently.
Which should you choose?
Choose Dentagraphics when validated nearby dental practices and conventional demographic site analysis are the core need.
Consider PayorMap when reimbursement by payer, network context and procedure mix materially affect where you want to practice.
If finalizing a lease, combine verified local competitor checks with practice-specific financial and contracting diligence.
Price and scope
Dentagraphics currently advertises a $149/month Start/Buy membership, $695 Single-Site Study and $745 Area Analysis. Check its site for terms and current pricing.
Compare the geography, deliverable, methodology, data year, source verification, revision policy and human review actually included—not just the headline fee. PayorMap's national reports are a different scope from a single-property study.
Frequently asked questions
Is Dentagraphics a dental-specific alternative?
Yes. It focuses on dental practice demographics, competitor verification, market research and site-selection reports.
Can PayorMap verify every nearby active dental office?
Not currently. PayorMap distinguishes workforce, employer-establishment and NPI sources from confirmed active practice locations.
Are the report prices directly comparable?
Not exactly. Dentagraphics lists single-site and area reports; a national screening report covers a different geography and requires a deliverable-by-deliverable comparison.
